Occidental Cozumel

Sports

The resort has 2 tennis courts, ideal for enjoying some exercise.

The hotel also offers a complete range of facilities for on-site water sports, such as kayaking, windsurfing, sailing or snorkelling. 

It has a programme offering various sports activities, including volleyball, aqua aerobics, water polo or diving demonstrations, as well as a fully equipped fitness studio. 

For scuba diving enthusiasts, there are different packages available, including deep sea excursions. Diving courses are also offered including a certificate and equipment hire at the Pro Dive Mexico centre. 

One of the most appealing experiences is the chance to go scuba diving at night. If you turn off your lights and disturb the water you can see the bioluminescent plankton shining next to you. The creatures that hide beneath those waters during the day come out now and you can often find enormous crabs eating the top of the coral, as well as lobsters, octopuses and eels swimming around freely.

Environmental Sanitation Law

On 31 December 2018, the Municipality of Cozumel, in the State of Quintana Roo, announced a reform to the local Finance Law. These reforms relate to articles 132-Bis, 132-ter, 132-Quater and 132-Quinquies, which establish an Environmental Sanitation Tax as a result of a sanitation programme carried out in the Municipality, aimed at reducing the impact of visitors staying in the hotels, guest houses, hostels and motels. Visitors are therefore required to pay this environmental tax, which amounts to $24.18 Mexican pesos per room per night during the month of January, and will then increase to $25.35 from 1 February in accordance with the Unidad de Medida y Actualización (U.M.A or Unit of Measurement and Revision). Citizens of Quintana Roo are exempt from this obligation, as are the elderly (over 65 years old) and the disabled. For this to be taken into account, the booking should be made in that person’s name.

We hereby inform you that from 2 January 2019, the Barceló Hotel Group will begin to charge this tax directly to its guests in order to report this directly to the Municipality as required.
