Melia Cozumel - Never Again!! Never Should've...
Рет қаралды 31,037
I guarantee nobody rebooks Melia Cozumel. I do not understand how this is one of the most popular and highest rated hotels in Cozumel, Mexico. Melia is an upscale and respected all-inclusive resort brand, but this property is way overpriced!
I am staying at all 6 of the most-popular and best-rated hotels in Cozumel, Mexico. Melia Cozumel is quite close to the Cozumel International Airport, which is why I booked it. In this video I take you along with me for my entire 72 hour stay at Cozumel. Come along with me as I explore and experience every aspect of this top all-inclusive resort in Mexico - you'll get exclusive insights from a professional traveler that has stayed at over 60 all-inclusive resorts in the last 30 months. I document everything in stunning 4k Pro Res video and detail every important aspect of the hotel and ultimately give my professional review on the Melia Cozumel experience. Whether you are visiting Cozumel for diving, adventure, romance, or just something different from Cancun & Playa Del Carmen, you absolutely need to watch this video before booking Melia Cozumel.

We appreciate your review of the Melia…and find that your disappointments were our pleasures. Old Mexico culture and very little American influence. The quiet peacefulness and sweetness of the employees make for a wonderful and relaxing environment.

James you are a man who operates like I do. You just keep on keeping on no matter how bad it gets. That's how it's done. I've had some bad experiences in my AI travels. You just gotta' take it all in stride and pivot to the best possible direction. Looking forward to the next video as always.

We really enjoyed your review and honesty James! We only go to Cozumel on a cruise ship stop and that's about all I can see it good for, just a day stop/trip. Well done sir!
@Edu-qv1yj 4 ай бұрын
I respect your perspective, but I must disagree. Comparing a cruise experience to merely seeing one port of call is akin to judging an entire city by visiting only one neighborhood. It's like watching the opening scenes of a movie and then concluding you know how it ends.

I've stayed at a couple Melia properties(Melia Beach Punta Cana and Paradisius Princessa Del Mar Varadero) and they were both very good and IMO good value for money and I would return to either in a heartbeat. I have never been to Cozumel because I've always thought the hotels looked a bit sketchy there, even the highest rated ones. Prices on Cozumel are a bit less than say Mayan Riviera, Cancun, Punta Cana but looks like you get what you pay for (as is usually the case) Your review confirms what I have always thought (thanks for taking one for the team!! lol) I'm really looking forward to your review of Secrets Aura to see if there is any reason to go to Cozumel. Thanks as always for your insight James!!

Next time in Cozumel go to Occidental at The Royal Level Área (free room service)or go to Presidente Intercontinental Hotel, because almost all other hotels have a los of rocks when you get into the sea. Never ever to Secrets, Sunscape or Dreams, the beach área is terrible and getting into the Water is very complicated

1. The “levels” of the world don’t have the same set of rules, so they can establish their set of standards. Which are low in this part of the world.. 2. HORRIBLE BED. #done 3. The weather is definitely your prerequisite for. Planning . Get with it! 😊 luv u ! 4. Food. Yuck for the most part, but got better at the end. 😊5. Cirque-esk HELL ya! 6. Definitely stick to the ‘rules of thumb.” 7. Is the Fish House related to the Fish house in Hawaii?

Just returned from the Riu Yucatán (across the straight Cozumel in playacar) -To each their own, but I wouldn’t have switched hotels with this place for anything! Granted some of food looked really good -but atmosphere/property wise -you would be crazy to spend double the cost!

In my opinion, Playa Del Carmen is a much, much better part of Mexico than Cozumel. The places that I've stayed at in Cozumel are average at best. I only went there for the diving.

What percentage full was the resort while you were there? It didn’t seem that it was close to the max capacity. That might explain why the Buffet didn’t have too many options on it while you were there.

Full capacity. You can't judge occupancy based on my footage because I use certain techniques to eliminate people from the scenery shots - Not only for privacy, but for a significantly enhanced viewing experience.

Yikes! (tugs collar nervously) 🥺 At the very, very least this resort wasn't as bad as, say, Royal Palm South Beach Miami or New York New York (pre-model at least), but that's not exactly saying much, hahahahaha! 🤷♀ Here's hoping the remaining five Cozumel resorts are all superior, and at least a couple of them are legit gems that emit a lasting afterglow! 🥹
