Mr. Sanchos Beach Club

Ask any frequent visitor which is the best beach club in Cozumel and chances are this is the one they’ll recommend!

Located just 12 minutes from the Cruise Piers inside Cozumel’s protected marine park, it is a hugely popular spot on the island. 

Mr. Sanchos is completely free to enter, with no minimum spend and no cover.

A good option, though, is to go for an all-inclusive day pass, as this gives you access to amenities that pay-as-you-go guests cannot use. 

Adult passes are $60, teen passes are $40, and children aged 4-11 get in for $30. These allow you unlimited food all day from the buffet and the menu, plus all you want to drink from the pool bar.

With options including a range of cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, and domestic beers, you’ll have plenty to choose from! 

Also included is access to the excellent facilities. There are three gorgeous pools – two of which have swim-up bars – and a section reserved just for all-inclusive pass holders.

You can also freely use the beach loungers, the ocean kayak, the hammocks, the umbrellas, the lockers, and the changing facilities. 

Mr. Sanchos boasts a fun aquatic park, but the cost for that is not included in the pass and is an extra $12 per person (you’ll need to rent your towels too).

Other activities available at additional cost include snorkeling boat tours, horseback riding, jet-skiing, parasailing, and ATV riding.

Ideal for anything from a day with family to a romantic date, this Cozumel beach club is open from 9 to 5 Monday to Sunday (Cozumel Local Time).

You don’t need to book ahead, but given its popularity, making a reservation is a good idea at busy times.

Nachi Cocom Cozumel Beach Club And Water Sport Center

Unlike Mr. Sanchos, the aim of Nachi Cocom Cozumel beach club is to provide a more private, intimate experience, and the number of guests per day is capped at 130.

For this reason, reserving your place ahead of time is a must! 

Located 15 minutes south of Puerto Maya, Nachi Cocom welcomes both adults and children. There are plenty of facilities for everyone to enjoy, with the all-inclusive passes giving you access to the majority.

Priced at $59 for 16 years and over, $45 for teens aged 12 to 15, and $19 for children aged 4 to 11, they include unlimited drinks from the open bar, with its wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

A 4-course à la carte lunch is also provided, which has a nice mix of Caribbean flavors and Spanish specialties. 

The amenities here are great, from the pristine private beach with its own bar, to the outdoor jacuzzi and pool.

There is also free wifi, relaxing hammocks with palapas (natural umbrellas), and full changing facilities.

In addition to the regular day pass, Nachi Cocom offers a separate sunset package for cruise ship passengers arriving in the afternoon.

The rates and amenities remain the same but the club stays open for an extra half an hour, for the exclusive use of the cruise ship passengers.

Nachi Cocom’s regular hours are Monday to Saturday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 P.M. (Cozumel Local Time), and Sunday from 10:30 am to 6:00 p.m.

The Cabana Beach

If you are looking for a truly luxurious experience, then the Cabana Beach Club of the best beach clubs in Cozumel to visit!

It is attached to the grounds of Chankanaab Parque, where you can see the protected flora and fauna of the area – and entry to the park is included with entry into The Cabana Beach.

Boasting heavenly private cabanas accommodating up to 6 guests, the secluded club provides you with your own attentive personal concierge who will arrange for your drinks, food, and activities.

Whilst food and drinks are not included in the cost of the cabana rental, the available menu is varied and reasonably priced, with very generously sized portions! 

Excellent snorkeling and diving are close at hand, but when it’s time to relax you can use the bowl of water provided in your cabana to rinse off the sand, then while away the hours in your hammock.

For the ultimate indulgence, you can even request an oceanside massage at an additional cost. 

The rates for the cabanas vary depending on season and the amenities included, and The Cabana Beach welcomes families and couples. Note that you may need to book a cabana in advance.

Carlos ‘n Charlies

For a cool, party vibe, one of the best beach clubs in Cozumel is Carlos’n Charlies. The food is tasty, the drinks are always flowing, and the atmosphere is fun and friendly.

Best of all, it’s located on one of the island’s most beautiful stretches of beach, just a short drive south of the cruise port. 

Catering for everyone from families to couples, the club is free to enter and there is no cover charge.

Instead, you simply pay as you go, meanwhile enjoying complimentary use of the beach chairs, umbrellas, pool table, showers, restrooms, beach bed, volleyball court, and parking.

Lockers and towels are also available, but these need to be rented.

There are lots of beach activities available for an extra fee and whether you want to parasail, observe the marine life through a glass-bottom boat, or go snorkeling, you can do it here. 

There are also wave runners for hire, or – for those looking for something a little more relaxing – massage treatments and henna tattoos. 

Carlos ‘n Charlies is open Monday to Saturday from 9 to 5 and on Sunday from 11 to 5, but note that the kitchen closes an hour earlier than the bar every day.

Playa Corona/Corona Beach Club

With clear, calm water just made for swimming, Corona Beach Club is one of the best beach clubs in Cozumel to sit and watch the cruise ships go by!

Its location adjacent to the Chankanaab Marine Preserve means that it’s also great for snorkeling.

You can hire your equipment here and there is even a staircase providing easy access to the water.

It’s especially good for children, as the shoreline is relatively shallow and gives them time to find their feet before setting off.

Some of the rockier areas are covered with sandbags to make them easier to negotiate.

Unlike some of the island’s clubs, this one has a very calm and laid-back atmosphere. There are none of the typical water slides and beach activities found at other spots and it is rarely crowded.

Instead, you have tables scattered about with their natural palapas (umbrellas), plus a few hammocks and a small bar area.

There are also several weight machines, should you wish for a quick workout during your visit!

There is no fee to enter the Corona Beach club – you simply need to order food and drinks from the very reasonably priced menu. It is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm.
