“El personal es muy amable. Los guías de las actividades incluidas en la estancia son de lo mejor que tiene el hotel: Daniel, Néstor y Vega tienen una energía muy bonita, son muy atentos y profesionales.
De los camareros destacan el joven Edwin que proporciona una atención excelente y otro compañero más (desafortunadamente no recuerdo su nombre) que se aprendió mis restricciones alimentarias desde el minuto uno.
También Housekeeping hacen un trabajazo durísimo y maravilloso, que está, en general, muy poco reconocido, pero siempre están con la sonrisa en la cara y son increíblemente serviciales.”
Amazing vacation!

“I really enjoyed how the guides pointed out different ocean animals, especially Daniel. You knew there was something neat when they’d go down and take a picture of it. The music was nice as a way to lessen the noise of the boat motor. Beer and food were readily available. Vega and Daniel and the other guys on the crew did a very good job speaking in both English and Spanish. No directions were left unclear! The only thing I wish they had was a bright colored shirt or goggles so it was easier to find our guides”

“Nestor and Daniel were amazing throughout the whole trip. They made sure everyone had a great time. As someone that cannot swim and high anxiety they did a really great job of easing our minds so we could have a good time. Highly recommended.”
Awesome experience at resort as well as the activities offered.

“The excursion snorkeling to see starfish, Stingrays, and fish with Nestor and Daniel and the Dive House group was incredible. I'm a first time snorkeler and they made this easy and one of the most incredible times I've ever had. Seeing Turtles up close like that was breathtaking!”
Peaceful surroundings, exceptional service, and memorable excursions.

“From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless. Check-in was quick and professional. Although a lot of information was shared upfront, the reception team made it clear they were always available—and they truly were. Maria and Anahi were especially helpful, answering every question kindly whenever we stopped by the desk.
Set in a small jungle setting, The Explorean feels like a quiet retreat from the livelier sister resort, Fiesta Americana, where we spent many relaxing afternoons on outdoor beds by the water.
Dining Experience
We enjoyed several restaurants at Fiesta Americana, but our favorite dining spot was Lol K’áan, located right at The Explorean. The chef-prepared meals were consistently beautiful and delicious. Luis welcomed and seated us most days, always paying close attention to detail. Claudia, Javier, Eduardo, Isabel Canul, Felix, and Jesús were standout servers who made each meal special with their attentive service.
At Fiesta Americana, La Cevichería was a highlight for fresh fish and shrimp tacos with a beautiful ocean view. El Grill offered great cheeseburgers—perfect while watching the waves. We also enjoyed the Mayan Feast at Viña del Mar, which is absolutely worth attending if available. Luis from The Explorean was there as well, leading a wonderful and attentive team.
The main bar was excellent, with friendly and skilled bartenders. Another must-visit is the Coffee Corner for ice cream—thank you to Bartolome for his service and for introducing me to the resident coati who wanders through the area. We also looked forward to the nightly entertainment, where the DJ team brought great energy and made the experience engaging and fun.
Excursions
Excursions were a major reason we chose The Explorean, and they exceeded expectations. We went snorkeling once by boat with Javier, Ariel, and their team. They were fun, knowledgeable, and skilled, helping us navigate unusually rough seas while ensuring we felt safe and comfortable.
On another day, we walked to snorkel near Money Bar with Ernesto and Ariel, ending up back at the resort as a group, exiting along a rocky shore. As some of the oldest participants, we appreciated the assistance getting out safely-- their help made the experience both manageable and enjoyable.
We also chose the coastal bike ride to a quiet public beach, where snacks and drinks were provided. Spending time talking with Ernesto was a highlight. The group included a range of skill levels, yet no one felt left behind, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Finally, we took a buggy tour to Punta Sur followed by a tequila tasting. It was a relaxing and scenic way to explore another side of the island. A helpful tip we received from another guest was to build in downtime rather than scheduling excursions every day—and that proved to be excellent advice. During our week-long stay, we alternated activity and relaxation days, which struck the perfect balance.
Accommodations and Grounds
Our room was modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. We appreciated the environmentally friendly touches, such as bamboo toothbrushes and razors, along with well-stocked toiletries.
The grounds were beautifully maintained and well-lit at night, making it easy and comfortable to move around. The short, less-than-five-minute walk to Fiesta Americana felt seamless—almost like an extension of The Explorean itself.
Final Thoughts
While the excursions initially drew us to The Explorean, it was the peaceful setting and the genuinely kind and attentive people many listed above who made this trip unforgettable—and the reason we would not hesitate to return.”
Trip of a lifetime!

“Wow! What a great experience we had at the Explorean Cozumel. We were greeted and checked in quickly and Eduardo helped us get our bags to our room! He was also a great resource for places to visit and eat in town!
Our excursion guides were top notch! They all did such a great job making us feel safe and allowing us to have fun and explore the island and waters!
Nestor, Santiago, Bernardo, Ricardo, and Carlos were our awesome guides to El Cielo! They were fantastic and went out of their way to make sure the experience was special! Highly recommend this tour specifically! Just make sure to wear your rash guards! I learned my lesson the hard way. The sunburn will creep up on you!
Jassiel and Armando were also “AMAZING” guides! They were informative on the history of the island, what tourism means to it, along with the preserve (on our individual biking excursion). Can’t thank you both enough!
The staff in all of the restaurants were kind and attentive. Special shout to Alejandra who welcomed us at the Buffett breakfast daily and to Francisco who paid attention to every detail and provided top notch service.
We highly recommend a stay at the Explorean Cozumel if you are looking for an adventure with friendly, amazing people!”
Amazing time!!! Starfish galore!

Extremely Disappointed After Returning 9 Years Later
4/10

“Nine years ago, my partner and I stayed at the Fiesta Americana and had such an amazing experience that we got engaged during our trip. We also learned about the Exploraan sister property on the same grounds and always talked about coming back someday. For our anniversary, we finally decided to return and stay at Explorean, expecting the same level of hospitality we remembered.
Unfortunately, three days into our stay, this trip has been nothing but disappointment.
The service at Explorean has been remarkably slow and inattentive. One example: we sat by the pool for about 30 minutes while a family’s dirty dishes, leftover food, and empty drinks remained on several chairs after they left. Three employees stood nearby watching, yet nobody made an effort to clean the area. Birds were actively eating the abandoned food. This was both unsanitary and unacceptable.
Communication between Explorean and Fiesta Americana staff appears to be severely lacking. We were given information by the concierge regarding dining options, only to find that the situation at the restaurants was often completely different. Multiple restaurants are currently under construction, yet we were never informed of this during booking or upon arrival. To make matters worse, when we followed the information we had been given, we were met with frustration and attitude from employees despite simply trying to follow directions.
What has been most frustrating, however, is the relentless sales pressure. We were repeatedly approached about purchasing a vacation membership (which staff are quick to point out is “not a timeshare”). We declined at check-in. We declined while walking the property. We declined during breakfast. We declined while relaxing by the water reading. At some point, a vacation should feel like a vacation—not a constant sales presentation.
As for the dining experience, I am vegan, and one of the things I was genuinely excited about was seeing vegan menus available, something that did not exist during our visit nine years ago. While I appreciate the effort, the execution has been poor. Several dishes did not arrive as described on the menu, and many servers seemed uncertain about what vegan actually means. I would not describe this as a truly vegan-friendly resort. Vegan options technically exist, but they often require additional explanations, questions, and corrections to ensure meals are prepared properly.
The most disappointing part of all this is that we came back because of the wonderful memories we had here. Instead, we’ve spent much of our anniversary vacation dealing with inconsistent information, poor service, aggressive sales tactics, and unmet expectations.
For anyone considering the upgrade to Explorian, I personally do not believe the additional cost is worth it. In our experience, Fiesta Americana offered significantly better service, although it also came with the same aggressive vacation-plan sales pressure.”
We'd stay again!!!

“We had a wonderful experience staying at The Explorean Cozumel! Every member of the staff was gracious, kind, friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was good. We enjoyed the included tours immensely, especially the El Cielo snorkeling trip. Armando, Ariel, and Jaciel were knowledgeable and patient guides and made the excursions delightful. No upcharges for any of our activities, which compared to some resorts wasa welcome change. Also some cool evening shows at the resort or on the beach. We'd stay here again!”
