Hotel Puerto Libre Cozumel is an adults-only waterfront hotel on the boardwalk in San Miguel de Cozumel, with 26 rooms built around balcony sea views and evening sunsets. A pool, a poolside restaurant and free breakfast keep the stay compact, while snorkeling, diving and fishing fill the island time beyond it. The trade-offs are limited bar hours and no direct beach, which matters if you want sand at the door.

This 26-room property occupies the corner of Calle 8 Norte and Rafael E. Melgar Avenue on Cozumel’s waterfront boardwalk. Accommodation spans ocean view, non-smoking and family rooms plus Superior and Deluxe suites, and facilities include one pool, one restaurant, one bar and a fitness room.
The pace is unhurried and the setting carries the stay: a central waterfront position on the boardwalk, with balcony sea views and sunsets as the hotel’s signature. The pool is small but scenic, breakfast is a strong point, and the staff set a friendly tone. The main trade-off is limited bar hours, so evenings work best planned around San Miguel rather than the hotel bar.
Breakfast is included in the stay and served at the poolside restaurant and snack bar. The pool, fitness room, restaurant and bar are on-site facilities at the property. Snorkeling, diving and fishing round out the available activities around Cozumel.
The hotel has 26 rooms. Named categories include ocean view, non-smoking and family rooms, alongside Superior and Deluxe suites. Balcony sea views and sunsets are the defining feature of the accommodation experience.
Room choices fall into three categories: ocean view, non-smoking and family rooms. The ocean view option is the one to weigh if balcony sea views and sunsets are the reason you are booking, since the hotel sits on the waterfront boardwalk. The non-smoking and family categories cover the other named choices in the inventory.
Two suite categories are available: Superior and Deluxe. They sit alongside the ocean view, non-smoking and family room categories within the 26-room inventory, giving the accommodation range a simple structure of rooms and suites.
One restaurant and one bar cover dining, with free breakfast served poolside. Facilities include one pool, a fitness room and a waterfront boardwalk location without direct beach access.
Dining runs through a single venue: a poolside restaurant and snack bar that also serves the free breakfast. One bar completes the lineup. With one restaurant and one bar, the hotel keeps dining simple, which suits a stay built around the waterfront and the town beyond rather than on-property variety.
One pool serves the property, and the setting carries the recreation load: the hotel has no direct beach but occupies a waterfront boardwalk position, so the sea stays in view. A fitness room covers exercise on site. For time on the water, snorkeling, diving and fishing are the available activities, and they suit the island’s strengths.
