SECRETS COZUMEL DIVE HOUSE 3 UPGRADE

Secrets is quite an upgrade from Sunscape! The rooms are HUGE! The bathroom's tub is the best scuba gear rinsing tub you'll ever have. We would strongly consider returning to Secrets Aura and Cozumel. Divers on our boats were mostly well-experienced, although a few needed extra guidance on decomp and other safety measures. Water temp was ~82 F our week in July, and visibility was very good. Lots of fish, sponges, and corals, and many lobsters, but only a few bigger fish. The reef health was great, and better than I expected. Midway through the week the divemaster offered to increase my air tank from the standard 80 cu ft up to 100 ($8 per tank), which helped me keep up with the Nitrox divers, and the occasionally-strong currents. Dive House also staffed an on-site kiosk (shack) to facilitate arrangements. Divers meet their scheduled boat at the convenient pier right off the resort beach. Thanks especially to Victor (dive master) and Cruz (1st mate?). We were very satisfied with the staff, boats, and rental gear provided by Dive House, the chief SCUBA operation for the resort. The patio allowed drying our dive gear (although I'm not sure whether this was endorsed by the resort). We needed a rollaway bed, to accommodate sleeping needs, and this was provided within a reasonable amount of time. Our pool-view room was nice, and the air-conditioning made the warm and muggy climate bearable.

We enjoyed the rooftop, ocean view bar at sunset, but bring bug spray. Some (adults only) guests seemed to be there just for the unlimited beer-by-the-pool experience, which sometimes got noisy. A trip (taxi ride) into town, or two, is recommended for variety. Food and drinks were tasty, but about what you would expect for an all-inclusive resort. The all-inclusive structure contributed to a relaxed experience, with only a room number required to enjoy (prepaid) food and drinks. Overall still a good trip except for weather. The weather was terrible while we were there which was the major negative and only was able to dive one out of expected 5 days. Drinks were fine but not fancy, many activities and facilities were ok but looks like it may be in need of updating. The room we were in was direct ocean front and great. Very nice resort with many restaurant choices. Bordered by the United States to the north and Belize and Guatemala to the south, much of Mexico shares many similarities with Central America, including language, food, a rich history, culture and art. With nearly 200,000 feet of subterranean tunnels in the underground rivers, sinkholes and caverns, desert marshes and a wide variety of marine life and wrecks, Mexico truly is the aquarium of the world.
