Great time!

10.0

Nestor and Daniel were amazing throughout the whole trip. They made sure everyone had a great time. As someone that cannot swim and high anxiety they did a really great job of easing our minds so we could have a good time. Highly recommended.

Awesome experience at resort as well as the activities offered.

This resort has a great location (only 20 - 25 minutes from the airport). Great atmosphere, very relaxing. The rooms are spacious and very comfy. Definitely worth the price and with the activities included is a huge plus!

Snorkeling

10.0

The excursion snorkeling to see starfish, Stingrays, and fish with Nestor and Daniel and the Dive House group was incredible. I'm a first time snorkeler and they made this easy and one of the most incredible times I've ever had. Seeing Turtles up close like that was breathtaking!

Peaceful surroundings, exceptional service, and memorable excursions.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless. Check-in was quick and professional. Although a lot of information was shared upfront, the reception team made it clear they were always available—and they truly were. Maria and Anahi were especially helpful, answering every question kindly whenever we stopped by the desk. Set in a small jungle setting, The Explorean feels like a quiet retreat from the livelier sister resort, Fiesta Americana, where we spent many relaxing afternoons on outdoor beds by the water. Dining Experience We enjoyed several restaurants at Fiesta Americana, but our favorite dining spot was Lol K’áan, located right at The Explorean. The chef-prepared meals were consistently beautiful and delicious. Luis welcomed and seated us most days, always paying close attention to detail. Claudia, Javier, Eduardo, Isabel Canul, Felix, and Jesús were standout servers who made each meal special with their attentive service. At Fiesta Americana, La Cevichería was a highlight for fresh fish and shrimp tacos with a beautiful ocean view. El Grill offered great cheeseburgers—perfect while watching the waves. We also enjoyed the Mayan Feast at Viña del Mar, which is absolutely worth attending if available. Luis from The Explorean was there as well, leading a wonderful and attentive team. The main bar was excellent, with friendly and skilled bartenders. Another must-visit is the Coffee Corner for ice cream—thank you to Bartolome for his service and for introducing me to the resident coati who wanders through the area. We also looked forward to the nightly entertainment, where the DJ team brought great energy and made the experience engaging and fun. Excursions Excursions were a major reason we chose The Explorean, and they exceeded expectations. We went snorkeling once by boat with Javier, Ariel, and their team. They were fun, knowledgeable, and skilled, helping us navigate unusually rough seas while ensuring we felt safe and comfortable. On another day, we walked to snorkel near Money Bar with Ernesto and Ariel, ending up back at the resort as a group, exiting along a rocky shore. As some of the oldest participants, we appreciated the assistance getting out safely-- their help made the experience both manageable and enjoyable. We also chose the coastal bike ride to a quiet public beach, where snacks and drinks were provided. Spending time talking with Ernesto was a highlight. The group included a range of skill levels, yet no one felt left behind, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Finally, we took a buggy tour to Punta Sur followed by a tequila tasting. It was a relaxing and scenic way to explore another side of the island. A helpful tip we received from another guest was to build in downtime rather than scheduling excursions every day—and that proved to be excellent advice. During our week-long stay, we alternated activity and relaxation days, which struck the perfect balance. Accommodations and Grounds Our room was modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. We appreciated the environmentally friendly touches, such as bamboo toothbrushes and razors, along with well-stocked toiletries. The grounds were beautifully maintained and well-lit at night, making it easy and comfortable to move around. The short, less-than-five-minute walk to Fiesta Americana felt seamless—almost like an extension of The Explorean itself. Final Thoughts While the excursions initially drew us to The Explorean, it was the peaceful setting and the genuinely kind and attentive people many listed above who made this trip unforgettable—and the reason we would not hesitate to return.

Trip of a lifetime!

Wow! What a great experience we had at the Explorean Cozumel. We were greeted and checked in quickly and Eduardo helped us get our bags to our room! He was also a great resource for places to visit and eat in town! Our excursion guides were top notch! They all did such a great job making us feel safe and allowing us to have fun and explore the island and waters! Nestor, Santiago, Bernardo, Ricardo, and Carlos were our awesome guides to El Cielo! They were fantastic and went out of their way to make sure the experience was special! Highly recommend this tour specifically! Just make sure to wear your rash guards! I learned my lesson the hard way. The sunburn will creep up on you! Jassiel and Armando were also “AMAZING” guides! They were informative on the history of the island, what tourism means to it, along with the preserve (on our individual biking excursion). Can’t thank you both enough! The staff in all of the restaurants were kind and attentive. Special shout to Alejandra who welcomed us at the Buffett breakfast daily and to Francisco who paid attention to every detail and provided top notch service. We highly recommend a stay at the Explorean Cozumel if you are looking for an adventure with friendly, amazing people!

Amazing time!!! Starfish galore!
