Pools & waterplay
With heated
Expedia lists three outdoor pools and a children's pool; guest reports mention a heated pool.

Who fits where at Cozumel Palace All Inclusive Resort
All 5 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superior Ocean View Suite | Sleeps 5 | 538 ft²50 m² | 1 bedroom | Ocean view |
| Superior Oceanfront Suite | Sleeps 5 | 538 ft²50 m² | 1 bedroom | Oceanfront |
| Superior Honeymoon Suite | Sleeps 2 | 538 ft²50 m² | 1 bedroom | Ocean view |
| Superior Loft Suite Walk Out | Sleeps 7 | 829 ft²77 m² | 1 bedroom | Ocean view |
| Superior Two Bedroom Presidential Suite | Sleeps 7 | 1,808 ft²168 m² | 2 bedrooms | Ocean view |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
Six things the research turned up about Cozumel Palace All Inclusive Resort that the brochure does not say.
Cozumel Palace is a true all-inclusive and a strong fit for divers, snorkelers, and travelers who want a smaller oceanfront Palace resort.
It is a poor fit for travelers who need a soft sandy beach directly in front of the hotel.
Hidden tips
Book dinner reservations early in the stay.
Choose oceanfront if the room view is central to the trip, because the beach experience is not the main draw.
Things guests wish they had known
This is a strong snorkeling-and-service resort, not a classic beach resort.
The water entry is better for confident swimmers and older kids than toddlers.
Most loved
4 themes- Exceptional staff and attentive service
- Large clean suites with ocean views

Reddit feedback praises staff, food, drinks, comfortable rooms, town access, and snorkeling from the resort edge, while consistently warning that there is no true beach.
The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
Where else to look

Nov to May
Temperature barely moves here across the year, so rain is the whole decision: the wet months run Jun to Oct. Hurricane season is real here: about 1 in 6 Octobers sees one pass within 100 miles, most recently Beryl in 2024.
