What are some do's and don't when traveling to Cozumel with a toddler?

Question

Our daughter is our only child. She is 15 months old.

Answer 1

Keep a close eye on her!  There are lots of lizards about, sometimes dropping out of the trees right next to you.  The currents around the island can be quite strong -- be careful in the water.  For all of you, take care for sea lice.  Wear two piece bathing suits and make sure you shower in warm soapy water, your suit too, immediately after getting out of the water.  The nicer hotels (I stayed at the El Presidente) will put bottled water in your room every day -- use it.  Make sure you keep her slathered with sun screen.  Just use good common sense and keep her hand in yours at all times.  (And be sure to eat at the Mission while you're there -- the best food and coconut ice cream on the island -- yum!!)  Have a fun and safe trip -- I can't wait to go back myself.  :)

Tips:  Stay at the El Presidente resort hotel -- fabulous!  Eat at the Mission.  Eat coconut ice cream whenever you see it on the menu.  There's a little bakery on a side street next to the downtown market area, towards the airport -- check it out!  Don't park in the red zones!!  If you do get sea lice bites, rub and squeeze a fresh lime on them.  Buy some real vanilla to take home for baking.  Buy your kahlua to take home from the airport duty free shop.
