Jun 03, 2025AMAZING 40th birthday celebration
My husband planned this trip for my 40th birthday because I love this resort and island so much. I love that you can utilize both facilities and activities are included. The pools have been updated and the whole resort is very clean. Staff are extremely friendly and go above and beyond to make your stay the best it can be. They all remembered everyone's name even after only meeting them 1 time. The food at all the restaurants was absolutely delicious!! We had a private dinner on the beach to celebrate my birthday and Arturo, Jose and Gabriel really made it special! Some of the people I would really like to mention for top service: Breakfast at fiesta- Gabriel, Jose, Alejandra Francesco - lunch buffet bartender at fiesta Breakfast at explorean- Jared, Alan Bartenders: Fiesta- Angel, Gustavo, Jorge, Enrique Explorean- Manuel, Julio Dinner at Fiesta- Manuel and Jhony dinner at Italian Gabriel - head waiter Lidia - Asian server Luis - dinner night with mahi Dinner at explorean- Manuel Aaron-beach server, Manuel-pool server Javier- head waiter/captain Daniel - head waiter/captain Isabel-captain helped with food Arturo-captain Martin luggage out They all made my birthday very special!

Wonderful Stay!
We loved our stay at the Explorean in Cozumel. It is my first time back in Cozumel for a number of years, although we have frequented Playa Del Carmen, Cancun and Rivera Maya. This is amongst one of my favorite visits and we had a wonderful time. This resort is not new, and not large like so many others but this is part of its charm. Our room was nice and just what we needed but nothing over the top like other resorts on the mainland. The staff was attentive and kind, our room was always clean and re-stocked. The premises were peaceful and quiet, and the food at the on-site restaurant was excellent and they catered to my many dietary restrictions. It was so wonderful to take a 5-min walk and be able to see beautiful fish from the onsite snorkeling areas, without Sargassum (though neighboring communities need to practice better fishing/care of the environment skills so tourism remains strong.) What stands out and makes this stay special is that this resort offered “tours” each day that were included with our stay; this is practically unheard of in Mexico and it made it such a special experience. Further, the crew that ran these excursions were exceptional and are simply, the reason we will return. They were fun, hard-working, accommodating, funny and worked so hard to make sure everybody had a great time. In particular, Jassiel, Nestor, Edgar and Ariel made our week unforgettable. These guys deserve a special shout-out from management and the resort. The fun we had on these excursions, coupled with the good food are the reason I will be returning to the Explorean. Of other special note Luis Perera @ Italian restaurant and Miquel at the Explorean bar took super good care of us. Overall, our stay was awesome and this resort is fortunate to have so many great people working for them.

Armando and Vega were great! Muy bien
Armando and Vega were amazing tour guides We did the snorkeling excursion through the explorean it was amazing. First part was the deep reef and the second was the starfish viewing. I personally enjoyed the first half but it was all great. Very enthusiastic and attentive. We felt very safe the whole times A+++ and would recommend

Clear Waters, Smooth Sailing.
Great experience, resort, tours and staff were great. Armando was a big help on the snorkelling trip as well as the other staff, don’t want to misspell their names. Would recommend this resort and will definitely visit again in the future, would have liked to tour the whole island, but didn’t have enough time. Look out for Brenda at front desk when you first arrive if she is onsite, very kind lady.

Snorkeling guide
Armando Vega is a wonderful guide. We went on several escapes with him. I would gladly pick him every trip. Others were good too but I didn’t get their names. All of our experiences were top notch. You won’t be disappointed if you stay with The Explorian.
