Cozumel vs Cancun vs Jamaica

Post by BigR-KyParrothead »

i'm planning a big birthday bash next summer (my very own pirate looks at 40) and i cant decide where i want to spend the big event.

i have it narrowed down to these 3. any opinions? i have been to cancun and loved it, but i am leaning toward a new destination this year.

any thoughts on cozumel or negril? i have to chose a spot with a margaritaville as that will be my hq on the big day :lol:

Cozumel, definitely.

Diving or snorkeling in the morning, lunch, siesta, beach, happy hour, dinner, drinks by the pool, sleep, repeat. 8)

Nightlife in Cozumel was pretty good last time I was there. :D

Although, there was that night at Carlos and Charlies.... [smilie=battingeyes.gif] [smilie=battingeyes.gif] :lol: :lol:

If you're planning on spending anytime in cozumel itself I believe it going to be a min $20 one way by Cab from the Iberostar to downtown Coz. It may even be more now.

I personally wouldn't do an all inclusive, but if your going to drink alot it might be a good ideal. Myself I would prefer to go into town everynight and enjoy the many great dining establishments that Coz has to offer at reasonable prices.

Cozumel is Margaritaville.

I didn't know there was a Margaritaville there. When did that happen?
OH, I found March 2007. :roll: :roll:

all-inclusive is by far the best option, imo

i did see that it was a cab ride into town.....minor detail 8) :)
