Everything you need to know about Cozumel
Cozumel all-inclusive resorts sit on a calm Caribbean island off the Riviera Maya, beside some of the clearest reef diving and snorkelling in the Caribbean. Cozumel is quieter and more low-key than the mainland, a flat island you can circle by scooter, with a walkable town in San Miguel and resorts strung along the sheltered west coast. The Mesoamerican Reef right offshore is the headline, drawing divers worldwide, but the calm water and easy pace also make it a relaxed beach-club island for non-divers.

Essential info for Canadian travellers
Passport: A valid Canadian passport is all you need to enter Mexico for stays up to 180 days — no visa required.
Tourist entry: You'll receive an entry stamp on arrival; keep it and your boarding passes until you leave the country.
Travel insurance: Provincial health plans do not cover medical care in Mexico. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential, especially if you plan to dive.
Power & plugs: Cozumel uses 127V/60Hz with Type A/B plugs — the same as Canada, so no adapter needed.
Time zone: Quintana Roo runs on Eastern Standard Time (EST) year-round with no daylight saving — same as Toronto in winter.
