Cozumel is a safe city and a welcoming environment for tourists. When you travel to Cozumel, the first thing you’ll notice is that most locals speak English. The people of this great island have worked hard to learn as much English as possible to help travelers. They love to share their culture and island with tourists.
The island has a laid back atmosphere, where there’s no pressure to do anything but relax on the beach.
The water in Cozumel isn’t safe to drink, so stick to bottled water.
The best time to visit the island is from March to June. The temperatures hit the 90’s during the day and in the 70’'s during the night hours. Plus, you will avoid the peak (and most expensive) season between December and February.
Everyone, including children of any age entering Mexico, must have a valid passport and a return or ongoing ticket. No visas are required for US or Canadian citizens. Other nationalities are responsible for ensuring their own visa requirements.
