Cozumel Palace?? I saw this resort and got really excited thinking that it was everything I wanted. When I e-mailed my TA and asked her to price it for me she didn't because she told me there wasn't a beach in Cozumel. Now, I'm not sure if she mean there wasn't much of one or literally there was not one at all ... then at work today, I ran into a girl that had just gotten back from a cruise that had a stop in Cozumel and I asked her if there was a beach and she said yes! Now I'm really confused! I didn't know if anyone has ever stayed there or even at a surrounding resort that might have an opinion or any info. Thanks!

If you haven't already, check out Palace Resorts - Welcome to the Official Site

You can see pics. It looks like the resort doesn't have a beach, the water just goes up to the pool deck, looks beautiful though!

I'm a big fan of the Palace Resorts

Hi! I am getting married at the Moon Palace - a sister resort of cozumel. We are getting married in a Gazebo overlooking the ocean - I've heard the beach at MP sucks but I am not too worried about it b/c they have many many pools and our wedding will be at the gazebo. Do they have a gazebo at Cozumel palace? I just figured a gazebo wouldn't be as hot since there will be shade and everything. Good Luck!

Cozumel is hit and miss on the beaches. There are a few beaches (some very, very nice) on the leeward side of the island, but anything facing open ocean is just rocks.

I called the Coz Palace, too, because I just couldn't believe they'd build a high end resort with no beach, but no. Not even a few grains of sand.

On the other hand, if you wanted to stay there, you might be able to do your ceremony somewhere else on the island (beachy) and then have the celebration back at the hotel. I'm sure the hotel's WC would be willing to help arrange things, or point you to someone who could.

Looks pretty nice - check tripadvisor.com - there isnt a beach

I'm getting married at Presidente InterContinental Cozumel, which has a beach. Cozumel is really popular for scuba diving and snorkeling, and as a result it is generally more rocky than "beachy." But there are some there!

I too am a HUGE fan of the Palace Resorts, and was considering Cozumel Palace for a wedding...but no beach

From the pictures I have seen the hotel kind of sits right along some rocks and you can just jump in the ocean there and snorkel. I have heard the snorkeling there is pretty good right at the hotel if you are into that at all.

What about Aventura Spa Palace? although that one is adults only, not sure if that is an issue for you or not.

Also as a side note, I heard through the grapevine that next year they will start doing weddings at Beach Palace in Cancun which was just recently renovated!

Just a few thoughts/options...like I said I am a BIG fan of the Palace Resorts!

I am getting married at The Occidental Grand in Cozumel and I know they have a private beach...San Francisco beach to be exact! It is a beautiful beach but yes Cozumel is limited on beaches b/c it is more of a diving destination!
