Located in the heart of downtown Cozumel at Av. Rafael E. Melgar, Aqua Safari Inn offers a straightforward and comfortable stay for travelers focused on sightseeing and outdoor activities. The hotel features air-conditioned rooms with basic amenities, appealing especially to guests who plan to spend most of their time exploring the island rather than staying in. Wi-Fi access is available, though some guests have found it occasional in strength, and a small fridge is provided in select rooms.
The property does not offer some common hotel conveniences such as free breakfast, on-site parking, or a restaurant, making it best suited for visitors who intend to dine out or prefer self-catering options. While there is no pool or fitness center, the inn caters well to families with kid-friendly accommodations. Accessibility features and pet-friendliness are not available, which may be important to some travelers.
Guests appreciate the location close to the ferry terminal, local restaurants, bars, and the town square, making it easy to access prominent nearby attractions such as Xcaret Park, San Gervasio Mayan ruins, and Paradise Beach. The waterfront setting near the inn's pier supports diving and snorkeling activities, which are popular pastimes in Cozumel. Reviewers highlight the helpful and friendly staff, particularly regarding dive arrangements and local excursions.
Feedback from visitors points to a clean and reasonably maintained property, though some note the rooms are a bit dated and privacy in bathrooms can be limited due to door design. Those traveling primarily for diving or island exploration may find Aqua Safari Inn a convenient and practical base, especially given its central location and close proximity to other well-rated accommodations and car rental services.

The best dive shop in Cozumel, very profesional, helpful and friendly, my first and unique choice for diving.
This place was perfect for the price. Very centrally located. I loved it. The AC worked very well and was quiet. The people were all very nice. The WiFi wasn’t great, they gave us a small fridge most rooms don’t come with one, and the only other negative was the bathroom door is a thin slatted wooden door do not a ton of privacy. We lost two towels and they charged us $24 USD which is a little crazy but whatever. I shouldn’t have lost them. Ha. Overall I’d highly recommend this place if you travel like me and only sleep in your hotel. If you go to Cozumel for the hotels you’re doing it wrong. Go scuba diving or snorkeling or rent a scooter or Jeep at HTL, I think that’s the name. Explore the other side of the island it’s beautiful!
The Aqua Safari Inn is a dated but clean and comfortable property located in downtown San Miquel. It is close to the restaurants, bars, ferry terminal and town square. There is very limited parking there, but scooter space is there. Their pier is across the street for diving, snorkeling or whatever boating activities. There was no TV in the room if that's an issue, but they have Wi-Fi although spotty on occasion. They hotel and dive staff are excellent and friendly. I'd visit again.
Great spot, friendly people! Also good car rental options
Had a blast! Clean, safe and convenient to everything.
had a great time on dives staff asked where we wanted to go and we decided. We were well taken care of and even had a photographer go with us that we could purchase her pics of us. I loved it.
This place was just so relaxing and close to all the activities that you want to do when in Chechen itza. It is 500 meters from the ruins. The rooms are basic but nice. The restaurant was however amazing with the authentic area food for a cheap price. They also assisted with our guides and had a spa and massage service. I will stay here again if in the area.
We had a great experience, comfortable big bed, AC, access from the street. You can book your snorkeling trip right here, leablve your stuff throughout the day with staff's permission. Very friendly and helpful people too, especially seňora Flores.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
