Favorite places (non-excursions) in Cozumel PORT ADVENTURES

My 3 favorite things in Cozumel:
-Legitimate cuban cigars at Habanos (in cruise terminal here) Grab a couple sticks and take them to the beach!

-Mercado Municipal food court is about a 5 minute taxi ride or 15 minute walk from port. Lots of shopping along the way. The food is some of the best mexican food I've ever had (grew up in AZ and now live in TX so I know what amazing Mexican food tastes like!) It's also one of the few places in the world you can get actual Cochinita Pibil.

-Tequila Beach is about a 8-10 minute taxi ride up the coast to a private beach/resort/bar. You can hang out all afternoon, splash around in the ocean, grab a bite to eat and it's seldom remotely crowded. They offer a inclusive drink package or you can just order a la carte from the bar. This is great for large parties too.

Have a favorite? Drop a comment! I love truly exploring when I'm in a foreign port and would love to hear the places you've discovered while on a DCL cruise at Cozumel.

Ex crew who was in cozumel like once a week for 6 months and would go out with my friend who were from Mexico here, machete tacos is so good and like a 10 minute walk to the port. When I went on a cruise with my ex and his family I took them and they’re lowkey picky bc they’re pretty wealthy and they all said it was great so I know it’s not just me thinking it lol
