ebusiness@elcozumeleno.com. Posted by Josh Tellier / on 6/13/2008. Hey we were at your beautiful resort from April 30th until May 7th and to this day we wish we were there. We were known as THE CANADIANS lol, it was me, my girlfriend Tanya, and our friends Matt and April and we all had an amazing time. We walked in and were greeted with
drinks which made the day of traveling worth it. The whole staff from top to bottom were awesome. From Philippe Fournier (on te vera encore) one of the managers to the entire staff working there. We must really thank the activities team because they did a great job. Artura, Luis, Geronimo, senoritas Kenia Abril and the rest of the team, you guys were awesome. Whenever we wanted to do something they tried their best to help us play(usually
pool or beach
volleyball). And Arturo rrar rarr rarrYou were hilarious and took us on a fun
bike trip. Luis was the best DJ, sorry Geronimo...But Geronimo, Kenia and Abril you guys did a great job with the different activities. The wait staff and bell boys were really nice and helpful. All in all we loved our
trip. The food was good, the
drinks were great and the resort was just amazing. Thank you everyone there and we hope to see you guys again. Josh Tellier. Posted by Leigh Ann and Leroy Falter / on 6/4/2008. Hello, my husband Leroy and I, along with 6 of our friends and family stayed at ElCozumeleno May 19th thru May 24th, 2008. If someone told me I could leave today, I'd be packed in an hour. It was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! We've already decided we'll be staying at your establishment again in the future. The service was exemplary, the facility was spotless, the food was delicious and the beach and water were beautiful. I'm so glad we stayed there. I do believe this was the best vacation I've ever been on. Thanks and see you in the future!!! Leigh Ann and Leroy Falter Freeburg, Missouri. Posted by Allen Darlene Morgan / on 6/2/2008. Thank you for everything. We will see you again real soon. Allen and Darlene Morgan “Morgy” April 15th to the 24th My wife and I have just returned from 10 “Glorious” days at the Elcozumeleno Beach Resort and I have to tell you that we miss it already. We go to Cozumel every April and September and honestly the Elcozumeleno just keeps getting better every time we stay there. Honestly, the staff and Management always makes us feel welcome just as we would feel coming “Home to Family”, from the warm welcome we received our first day there, to the hugs and handshakes the day we had to leave. Always a friendly smile and a hola’ from everyone. Thank you to “all” that made our stay so special. The managers there really take pride in their resort. I have noticed they work from sun up to sun down, and sometimes beyond, constantly pacing the grounds to ensure that every guest has a memorable stay, and it shows. I would like to add a few travelers notes to pass along some of the changes I have noticed since our last stay. We have always found the food here to be just fine. There is such a large variety that we sometimes have a hard time deciding on just what we want. I have found there are a few things on the menu that I don’t care for, but there is always plenty of other choices to put together a well balanced meal. Among the huge selection during the day, they have added a cooler on the
pool patio that is stocked with fresh made hoagie sandwiches and salads. They have added menus for all the tables in case you can’t find anything on the
buffet or what is being cooked daily on the
grill that appeals to you. They have even added two new Hot Cheese pumps to cover the high demand for Nachos and cheese. They also have a self serve soda and ice cream
bar which has been lowered so the kids can use it.. This is good news for all the moms. Relaxing by the
pool all day without having to serve the kids. Priceless… :o) In the past there was always a concern that there were not enough
lounge chairs to go around. This is not the case anymore. More have been add since we were there last. While I was enjoying my
coffee on a morning stroll I actually counted all the
lounge chairs on the property. (I know, but somebody had to do it..heh…heh). Between the main
pool, the
covered pool, the small
pool, under the palapas and all along the beach…350
lounge chairs! That’s not counting the tables and chairs around the small
pool or the hammocks under the two shelters on the beach. That’s a lot of chairs. In fact there is simply no
room for anymore. I did ask why there are only a few palapas on the beach (11), and the answer made sense. It would block the beautiful ocean view that everyone enjoys while eating in the
restaurant….Especially at sundown….BEAUTIFUL! In all honesty, what makes this hotel the perfect choice is that everything you need is right there. Although I do encourage you to rent a car to drive around the island, and make sure you go downtown for plenty of shopping. You can rent you car and book all your excursions right at the hotel. Some of the boats will pick you up right there as well. Great snorkeling right at the hotel but for you non-divers I recommend visiting the dive
shop and booking a snorkeling
tour. The reefs are truly awesome. Also if you are interested in diving….which I also recommend…sign up for their free one hour course at the dive
shop as well. I could go on forever listing why this is the perfect choice for us. But all in all I think the doorman said it best when I first walked in the door…Big Smile….Firm handshake and he said to me “Welcome Home”….. If anyone has any questions please don’t hesitate to e-mail me at…
morgy@comcast.net. I’m always happy to help if I can. OR We’ll see you down there in September. Allen Darlene Morgan AKA “Morgy” Clermont, Fl. Posted by Mel and Bert Wagners / on 5/31/2008. Well, we have been home for a couple weeks after spending 10 wonderful, fun filled days at the El Cozumeleno Beach Resort, and we are ready to go back! The purpose of our
trip was to get married, and we did that, as well as so much more! All of our guests for the
wedding (36 people) really enjoyed themselves, which was wonderful considering I had basically picked their vacation for them! I would like to give an extra special THANK YOU to Mirabel, our group/
wedding coordinator--she did an exceptional job working with us during the time leading up to the
wedding, as well as when we were finally in Mexico! I must also thank the other group specialists that we worked with along the way: Genny, Adela, and Elva. Our
wedding was absolutely wonderful, and I would do it the same way 100 times over! They are so organized and accomodating for what I was imagining my
wedding day to be. One thing I would recommend if you are planning a
wedding down there--ask specifics about the ceremony. This is something my husband and I had not done, and we were a little confused as the ceremony progressed. All the paperwork is completed first (bride and groom signing, 4 witnesses signing, legalities of being married in Mexico), THEN is the exchange of vows. Have your own vows prepared because they just ask if you take each other to be husband and wife, basically the I do part. The judge does give a blessing or homily as well. This is another person I would like to thank! I never got to shake his hand, introduce myself, or thank him! After the ceremony he was out of there pretty fast, so if you could pass on our thanks to him! Now for the wonderful stay and staff at El Coz! It started from the moment we walked through the front door with Isaisas, the Bell Boy, eagerly loading up our plethera of bags and waiting for us to get checked in. He was all smiles and so friendly--my husband was visiting him throughout the time we stayed there, he liked him so much! At the front
desk for check-in, Brigido was very helpful and again so friendly as we got everything in order for our stay, as well...
