After travelling around Mexico for several days and staying in the broadest range of hotels, inns and hostels, we were thrilled to spend several days at the Coral Reef Inn in Cozumel. The small inn is charming, clean, spacious and friendly. Our hosts Jerry and Leona were fabulous and treated us like long time friends, sometimes taking us to meet our dive master and really making us feel welcome.
The inn is close to the main strip but away from the major traffic. The quiet AC is perfect at night and we never wanted for hot water. The inn is impeccably maintained and our room was large with a comfy king size bed and had a large ensuite bathroom. Designed with divers in mind we took advantage of the wash-up station for our equipment and the shared open air kitchen for several meals with groceries from the supermarket which was a short walk down the same street.
We had come for the diving and our hosts graciously set us up with a fellow Canadian who gave us great private lessons and had us diving some of his favorite spots on the reef in no time. Cozumel and the Coral Reef Inn were definitely the highlight of our vacation.

The Coral Reef Inn is a great place to stay if you are looking for a place that is friendly, clean and comfortable.
3 things we liked - accomodations, location and diving.
Accomodations are impeccably clean and I am picky. The beds are comfortable and clean. The AC is quiet and effective for the nights and not necessary in the daytime. The bathroom has a very large, all tile, spotless walk in shower. The third floor common area including open kitchen are just like home.
Location - The inn is a short walk (5-7min) from the main street that runs along the water. At the corner is the supermarket that has everything you need. They have food and beverage from the simple to the gourmet.
Diving - We have logged over 100 dives around the world and found Cozumel to be 4 of 5 stars. The reefs were healthy. The fish and other creatures were plentiful and the prices were reasonable.
The thing we loved were the people. Your hosts, Jerry and Leoni are just the right amount of friendly....talkative and helpful but not intrusive at all. The locals were all very friendly and helpful with our extremely limited spanish.
We do a lot of business travel/entertaining, all-inclusives and 5 star hotels . We found this Inn and the local, less touristy restaurants a refreshing break from cookie cutter travel. We definitely will be back.

What a beautiful Inn! Our hosts were the best ever. They made me feel like I had been their friend for the last 20 years.

The location was walking distance to the main shopping and restaurant areas of Cozumel and was handy to a huge grocery store if you preferred to eat in the spacious and well equipped common dining area on the top floor of the Inn. They are well set up for Scuba Divers also. The pictures on their website are absolutely accurate.

The Coral Reef Inn was a tremendous value and I'd recommend this to anyone. I will go again.

We stayed there on Feb 7th and 8th, 2008. We only planned to stay one night as we had an all inclusive resort booked close to Playa Del Carmen, but we enjoyed it so much that we stayed an additional night. We were warmly greeted the minute we arrived by 2 absolutely fantastic hosts. Gerry and Leona made us feel like we were home away from home. The Inn was in walking distance of the main street in Cozumel and close to a major grocery store with ATM and liquor (everything you need). Our 2 other friends were there at the same time so we all went to the beach (Mr. Sanchos) which we highly recommend. It was beautiful. Gerry and Leona recommended a fabulous restaurant there called Guidos (Italian). The food and service was superb. The Coral Reef Inn was the highlight of our trip. It was clean, comfortable and we would go back in a second. We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Cozumel or to any divers. There is even a special place at the Inn where you can clean all your gear right there. We will definitely be back.......
