Well Cancun s a big city full of malls restaurants and discos and Cozumel is a small island where u can find shops and discos but not as big as the ones in cancun. If u like a peacefull place i suggest Cozumel.

Anyways if u wanna try both u can do it, 4 going fron Cozumel 2 Cancun u juss have 2 take a ferry (arround 30 mins long) and then the highway (around 50 mins to downtown cancun.

But if i can make a suggestion ... i prefer playa del carmen that is a small city with restaurants, discos and everything that u need :D. For going from Playa 2 cozumel juss take the ferry and fron going 2 cancn juss take the highway.

They are very different. Cancun is very commercialized and very touristy. They have an area that they call the hotel zone, it's shaped like a 7 and there are tons of resorts, condominiums, malls, stores, bars,restaurants lining the ocean and lagoon. Than you have downtown Cancun. More hotels, restaurants, markets and bars.

Cozumel is a small island and it's known for it's diving and snorkeling. In town it's lively because of the cruise ships but out of town it's so nice. You have the calm side to swim, snorkel and dive and most resorts are located on the west side of the island but the other side of the island (east side) you have surf and waves.

If you want clubs, people and tons of shopping go to Cancun.

If you want a more laid back vacation go to Cozumel.

Enjoy, what ever you choose)

It really depends on what you're looking for -- as another answerer mentioned, if you're interested in making your whole trip a big lively party, Cancun would probably be your best bet, whereas if you're looking for a quieter, more laid-back spot, Cozumel might be the place for you.

Both are beautiful places with their own merits, but without knowing anything about what you'll be wanting to do on your vacation, I can only guide you over to IgoUgo.com to read some reviews of both Cancun and Cozumel. You'll find reviews and candid pictures of hotels, restaurants, activities, and nightlife, as well as a general feeling of both. See what jumps out at you and which spot you feel you might prefer. You'll get some food for thought, if nothing else.

Here are some traveler reviews and journals for Cancun:

Hope that helps -- have a great trip, wherever you end up going!

Cancun offers more options as far as things to do. If you are going on vacation to relax, cozumel. If you want to get out and party, Cancun has everything. You can stay in your Resort and relax of hit the street and get crazy.

The choices are in Cancun. For tours I suggest www.cancuncatamarans.com

Hi,

My bride and I have done both and we've returned to Coz two more times. What we like about Cozumel is it beats Hotel Row or zone in Cancun. San Miguel is a lot more user friendly and a great deal cheaper than and locations along Cancun. There seems to be a lot more space for beach usage on both side of the island. The All-inclusive we stayed at is by far a lot more friendly than in Cancun.

We saved money by using public transportation from Cancun Airport to Cozumel. Bus, Ferry and the short taxi ride on Coz to our hotel.

Cozumel is not as hectic or crowed as Cancun and Coz is more relaxed and the service was top notch.

We plan on returning next year.

Hope thsi helps

Answer 7

It all depends on what sort of holiday you are after. Cozumel is a sleepy island get away with a set of Mayan Ruins and lots of Scuba Diving. The night life is really slow compared to Cancun.

If you want more of a Party atmosphere, and still be able to do lots of activities and tours, then Cancun is a better place to be. Pretty much all the Nightclubs are within a 1 km area around KM 9.5 and includes the famous Coco Bongo, as well as Senor Frogs', the City, Hooters, Hard Rock Cafe and the Dady O Group.

Day trips can easily be arranged, with transport that collects you from the door of your hotel.

Hope this helps.
