We send lots of people down there and they really feel at home. Worth, per person, double occupancy. Although a lot of divers love this resort, it's a place that works just as well for nondivers. It's an attractive low-rise across the street from the beach and just south of San Miguel, Cozumel's main town. Casa del Mar isn't the newest hotel on the island, but it has been recently renovated and is exceptionally clean and well kept.
Dive shops are very close.
White Sands may not be one of the newer properties in Negril, but it's spotlessly clean. But everybody there knows they're getting a solid bargain. This is a small, condo-like property right on the water close to one end of Canc n's hotel zone. It's really, really cute. It's a subdued place, popular with families and couples, with two good, intimate restaurants.
