Coral Princess Hotel & Dive Resort

Coral Princess Hotel & Dive Resort is on the quieter north coast at Carretera Costera Norte Km 2.5, in the Zona Hotelera Norte above town. It has been trading as a dive hotel for years and the layout reflects it: rooms, pool and restaurant all sit behind a dock that boats pull straight up to.

Diving From Here

Island Divers Cozumel operates from the hotel premises, with both a dive center and a retail dive shop on site, and trips leave from the hotel's own dock. That matters on the north shore, because the reefs are all south — leaving from your own pier saves the taxi to Marina Fonatur and gets you underway with the first wave of boats. There is direct ocean access from the dock for a shakedown or a check of new kit before a boat day.

Rooms And Facilities

The property has an oceanfront heated infinity pool and the Amaryllis restaurant on site. Room rates published on the hotel's own site start at 113 USD on the summer offer and 146 USD on the standard Champions rate, taxes included.

Good To Know

The hotel does not publish details of gear rinse or locker facilities on its website, so confirm storage arrangements with Island Divers directly if you are travelling with your own regulators and camera housings. The north-shore shoreline here is rocky and ironshore rather than soft sand.

Getting There

Zona Hotelera Norte is a few minutes by taxi from the center of San Miguel and the ferry terminal, and close to the airport. Downtown dive shops and restaurants are a short ride rather than a walk.
