Comments Some deals are just too hard to pass up. Expedia offered an extremely reasonable deal ($759 USD/PP) for a 7 night stay at Sunscape Sabor an all-inclusive resort, including air fare. It was so good we took two weeks instead one. The direct flight from Denver is about 4 hours. There is a two-hour time change or same as eastern time zone. Cab fare to downtown was $15 USD. Airport was $17 USD. Arriving in Cozumel with three other planes made immigration and customs about an hour long wait. The van ride to Sunscape Sabor took about 25 minutes.
The resort was located about 9.5 miles south of downtown. It has a nice long beach that runs south past sister resort Secrets. They are expanding the northern most section of the resort, which will double the size. Our first room was right next to all that noise. We asked for another room and received a much better one with a nice patio and lush garden. Our room had a king bed and it was comfortable. Night stands on each side of the bed had lamps, but should be brighter for reading in bed. The room is equipped with a dresser and a closet with enough hangers and has a safe. A mini-bar was stacked with soft drinks water and beer, and is all included. There is a coffee maker in the room but with a good americano available at 7 AM we only made coffee once.

Dive House had decent rental equip. (includng scuba pro wrist nitrox computer). Thye had to change out the mouthpiece as it was too hard, but they amiabley replaced it next dive. They did however lose my safety sausage when breaking down my gear the last day, but reimbursed me for it. Mask defog was not immediately evident on the one boat so I borrowed some. JUST MAKE SURE THEY COMMUNICATE WHEN THE BOAT WILL BE COMING (and actually leaving) ON A GIVEN DAY as that was problematic for repeat day divers vs newbies just coming that day. Should have been just the opposite. Decent dive outfit. Secrets Aura next door was fabulous sister org.
