Cozumel Trip Report
Posted by Dawn on 07/06/01

June 10-14 Wedding Trip

Since this board was so helpful to me and my husband in planning our trip to Cozumel, I thought I would make my contribution.  
We went down to Cozumel with a group of 9 others to get married.
We stayed at the Allegro resort, and really enjoyed it.  The grounds were beautiful and well kept.  I had never completely understood that the rooms do not face into the ocean, but we were not in there much, so it was not a big deal.  The room was also nice - comfortable bed, very clean.  My mom tipped the staff well in her room, and every day for a week they covered it in hibuscus flowers!  We really enjoyed the two restaurants at the Allegro - but make sure to make those reservations, because we only got to go twice.  The buffet was ok - but after a few days it could get a little old.  What we loved the most was the diversity of activities offered at the hotel - we had my grandmother and her husband, my 20 something brother, and the best man with his wife and 8 month old baby - and all had many activities to keep busy.  
We dove with Dive Palancar - felt rushed with them with each dive, and there are just too many people.
We took out the sailboats (katamarans) after taking a morning class - and just loved that.  My husband also went windsurfing.
As for the wedding - we used Fiona with Something Special weddings.  Fiona worked with me since September to plan the wedding, and generally it was great.  Only a few mishaps, but they are to be expected.  The photographer was wonderful!
After the wedding, we dined at Pepes.  The staff was incredibly attentive and gracious - gave us a significant discount on our bill.  The food was great - steak and lobster.  They made our wedding night truly special.
We also rented a car with one of the agencies on the board - the car was clean, and ran great.  Only hitch is they don't tell you that if you use a credit card, they will charge you with their own exchange rate, rather than what the banks currently use - works to their advantage.  I feel they should have said that up front.
After that - we headed off to Akumal on the Riveria Maya - highly recommend a visit there!
Hope you have a great time - we can't wait to go back!
