Cozumel Travel Guide & Oceanfront Vacation Rentals
Local Cozumel travel tips plus two oceanfront vacation rentals - a beachfront villa at Costa del Sol and a luxury condo at El Cantil.
Meet Dory
After decades of traveling the world, Cozumel completely stole my heart.
Hi, I'm Dory, aka ScubaShannon! I'm a lifelong traveler, certified diver since 1987, and an SSI Open Water Scuba Instructor since 2014. My friends call me Dory because I'm a fun-loving, sometimes forgetful ocean wanderer, just like the fish! 🐠
Today I share the island I love through detailed Cozumel travel guides, diving tips, favorite restaurants, hidden beaches, beach bars, and local insider recommendations - helping you experience Cozumel like a local, not just a visitor.
If you're looking for a place to stay, Jefe' and I also welcome guests to our oceanfront villa and luxury condo. Whether you're diving, traveling with family, or simply dreaming of Caribbean sunshine, I'm always happy to help you plan the kind of Cozumel vacation you'll be talking about long after you return home.
