Many of the best parts of Cozumel are missed by tourist who stay on the main street known as Melgar. The people of Cozumel are so kind and welcoming. Do yourself a favor and try some of the local restaurants that are off the beaten path. Here are a few of our favorites!
When staying in Cozumel for a week or so, grocery shopping can be a necessity. Luckily there are two local stores on Melgar that carry almost anything needed for a week in a condo in Cozumel, Chedraui and Mega. Each carry household goods, food, medicine, sunscreen, beach toys and all types of items that travelers might need. Both stores are easy to access from Melgar. Mega even has a parking garage! Pesos and US Dollars are accepted at both stores, as well as credit/debit cards. Don't forget to tip the people who sack the groceries. Most are elderly and depend on tips. The tips are their income!
