Loved Cozumel - horseback riding on a Cruise Day Excursion.
Understood from our Mayan guide that the island is almost wholly owned by a Mexican rancher who lost all his cattle in the Gilbert hurricane. The area was still rather desolate.
Lovely people and great sense of humor.

My wife and I are avid scuba divers and have been going to Coz. since 1992. We go there usually twice a year. It's an hour and 45 min. plane ride from Houston. The diving is better than any I've tried in the Caribbean and I've been to several places. Plus you have access to the Yucatan peninsula and that means exploring found and just found Mayan ruins. And the Yucatan Channel has some of the best game and sport fishing on the planet.I would go just for the grilled lobster. With the peso currently at or around 11 to the dollar, it is paradise at a bargain price.
