Great location, walking distance to town and very good snorkeling. Went to "beach club" one day and the condo was better. Free wi-fi and US phone number. Roomy and bright.
My group of two adults and three children stayed in Cantamar 201 for 4 days in May 2011. The property was clean and comfortable, and the staff was attentive. This condo is very clean, has comfortable beds and all the amenities you need for a relaxing vacation. Nice pool and beach platform, and great snorkeling right in front of the property! We did not rent a car and had no problem flagging down taxis when needed, for the ride to town that cost about US$5. I will definitely reserve this unit on a future trip!
One thing we have noticed is general upkeep of the condo. While it is very nice and we've been staying there almost every year, we notice small things like towel racks not being fixed (fall down when hanging a towel)for 2 years.
We have been to Cozumel several times during the past decade and Cantamar is far and away our first choice of places to stay. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. The place is meticulously clean. Conveniently located within walking distance to town (and a local grocery store), but it feels more isolated an serene than other places I'm aware of on the island. Best of all, the snorkeling right off the pier at the property is wonderful! For us, it's paradise.
Very nice property! Great location--can walk to town, but far enough away that it is quiet. Beautiful view.
This is the 6th time my family has stayed in this unit and we love it. However, we recommend the owner pay attention to a couple of updates, namely new drapes and interior paint. Also need a couple more plastic chairs for the porch. Other than that...fantastic!!
Helpful hints: change the interior color, upgrade the kitchen. The kitchen cabinents are falling apart. The frigerator did not keep our food cold. We had to throw out uncooked squid and chicken. The FREE international phone did not work. Get rid of the artificial flowers and dollies (sp). Tidy up ALL cupboards. Leave surfaces clear, so guests can put their stuff down. For a unit that sleeps 8, to have patio chairs that only seat 2 was not adequate. Get thicker cushions for the lounge chairs. Dining room and living furniture were very nice. The outside and pool were well maintained. Loved the palapas and the "beach". Having all the books were great. Over all, we would certainly stay at the Cantamar again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
lots of Mexican artifacts, comfy, lovely water view, relaxing, close to town, great price, easy to contact property manager
It was pretty awesome to be able to snorkle right off the patio. Tons of fish (all different kinds), crystal clear water. We had some problems with the bathroom water.....fixed within 1 hour.
AL AND TRUDY HAVE STAYED IN COZUMEL MANY TIMES IN THE PAST YEARS, THE CANTAMAR CONDO # 201 WAS THE BEST EVER, ALL MANAGEMENT AND STAFF WERE THE GREATEST AND WE RECOMMEND THE PROPERTY TO ALL. WE PLAN TO RETURN SOON.
Pool maintenance had fallen a little behind.

Fantastic snorkeling off the peer - say hello to the resident porcupine fish and the lobster family. A 20 min walk to the town Square. Cheap cab fare to town square and to Soriana supermarket. Quiet neighborhood at night.
Had a great stay in a lovely condo.Perfect position especially for snorkelling - lots to see directly from the condo. Only 1 negative, we had a problem with the hot water, seems that the heater was not working properly. However the manager did attempt to fix it but water was still only tepid.Pool was great, cleaned everyday and the sand beach was "combed" most days. Maid service very efficient. Hope to return one day.
We loved the location. Just a short walk to town and what a view. If I had a chance to buy a place in Cozumel, this would be it.
