Coral Princess Hotel & Dive Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Coral Princess Hotel & Dive Resort is an independent property on Cozumel's Zona Hotelera Norte, right on the Carretera Costera del Golfo Norte. Google reviewers (4/5 from over 500 ratings) describe bright, casual rooms, three bars, an outdoor pool and an on-site dive centre — a straightforward, no-frills base built around the water rather than a resort packed with extras. The hotel sits directly on the shoreline, with the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the world's second-longest reef system, essentially on the doorstep.

Cozumel: The Area and Things to Do

Cozumel is Mexico's best-known diving island, and most visitors here plan their days around the water — snorkelling off the house reef, boat dives to the island's famous walls and drop-offs, or simply swimming out from the beach. Away from the water, San Gervasio, the island's main Mayan ruins site, is about 25 km away and makes for a good half-day trip. A passenger ferry links Cozumel to Playa del Carmen on the mainland (around 45 km), opening up day trips to Xcaret and Xel-Há further down the Riviera Maya coast. The town centre, San Miguel, has the island's restaurants, shops and the main ferry dock, and is an easy taxi ride from the hotel.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Coral Princess is an independent resort, so a resale here isn't processed through a branded timeshare company — ownership transfers are handled by the resort's own owners' association or management office, not by a chain-wide resale desk. If you're listing your week, you set your own asking price on BidMyTimeshare.com; interested buyers contact you directly through the platform, there's no commission taken on the sale, and you simply pay a one-time listing fee to post the ad. Nobody else takes a cut.

Before you agree a price with a buyer, confirm two things directly with the resort: the current transfer fee for changing the week into the new owner's name, and the annual maintenance fee that will apply going forward. These figures vary by unit size and season and aren't published centrally, so get them in writing from the resort before closing. Ask too whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales — some independent resorts reserve the right to buy back a week at the agreed price before it can pass to an outside buyer, so it's worth checking this won't delay or derail your sale.

A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded or right-to-use week itself, plus the obligation to pay future annual fees to the resort; they do not automatically inherit any bonus perks, loyalty status or extras the original owner may have been offered at purchase. If renting rather than selling, be upfront in your listing about which week or season you hold, since Cozumel's dive season (roughly December to April) draws the most rental interest.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters and buyers researching this resort are mostly after easy reef access and an on-site dive centre rather than a resort with extensive grounds — set expectations accordingly in your listing description. Flights arrive at Cozumel International Airport, and the ferry from Playa del Carmen is the usual route for anyone coming from the mainland. The Mexican peso is the local currency, though US dollars are widely accepted around the hotel zone and in town.
