Nachi Cocom Cozumel Beach Club & Water Sport Center

Description

Yeah, so I’ve been to plenty of so-called “exclusive” beach clubs around the Caribbean, but Nachi Cocom Cozumel Beach Club & Water Sport Center is… different, and honestly in more than a few pleasant ways. If you’re planning a trip to Cozumel with the hopes of skipping the wild crowds and the over-the-top resort vibe, Nachi Cocom sits almost in its own league—a beachfront resort that keeps the party mellow but still serves up more than enough fun for your memory bank.

Set directly against the turquoise shimmer of Cozumel’s coast, Nachi Cocom welcomes you with a soft sand beach (seriously, no rocky surprises or sharp shells underfoot), a chill outdoor pool, and that swim-up bar you didn’t know you needed until you’re actually perched there, drink in hand, the sun on your face. You’ll quickly spot the restaurant serving authentic local flavor—no rubbery chicken burgers in sight. And the water sports center isn’t just a fancy buzzword here; they’ll set you up for kayaking, snorkeling, or even jet skiing, without the hard sell pressure.

One thing I personally appreciate—sometimes, it’s the little stuff—is the lack of overcrowding. This isn’t one of those places cramming as many tourists as possible onto a stretch of sand. The staff keep daily guest numbers on the lower side, so you actually find a bit of peace and space, both on the beach and by the pool. Sure, nobody can guarantee a flawless day (I mean, have you ever tried corraling a big group on vacation?), but the vibe is decidedly relaxed and not at all rushed.

And speaking of the staff, they walk that nice line between friendly and helpful without hovering or being annoyingly perky (if you know, you know…). What’s cool too is their awareness of accessibility—ramps, wheelchair-friendly restrooms and entryways, so it’s not just lip-service inclusivity. I wish more places took a hint.

Now, no spot is perfect: you’ll find the odd rough review about beach conditions on rare windy days or maybe the menu being a bit limited if you’re a picky eater or vegan. All in all, though, there’s a reason families, groups, and plenty of cruise ship day-trippers keep coming back. There’s comfort, sun, adventure, and a laid-back, not-too-touristy feel. Nachi Cocom isn’t trying to be the fanciest place in Cozumel—it’s trying to be your best memory of a beachfront day done right.

Key Features

  • Exclusive Vibe: Limited number of guests per day—meaning you’re not elbow-to-elbow with strangers, and the staff actually remember your drink order.
  • Beachfront Paradise: Soft white sand, gentle lapping waves, and a view that reminds you exactly why you got on a plane to Mexico in the first place.
  • Beautiful Pool & Swim-Up Bar: For when you want a dip but not the waves, and a cool margarita is a must. Honestly, some weeks I dream about that swim-up bar.
  • Water Sports Galore: Easy rentals for snorkeling, kayaking, jet skiing—gear is in good shape, too, which isn’t always a given.
  • Authentic Eats: The kitchen whips up local Cozumel fare—ceviche, grilled fish, and yes, plenty of options for picky kids.
  • Weddings & Events: Yup, people actually get married here (and I totally get why). The ocean makes quite a backdrop for any kind of celebration.
  • Family Friendly: Discounts for kids make it less of a jaw-drop when the bill comes, plus shallow pool areas and helpful staff for families.
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible entrance, restrooms, and parking lot—so everyone in your travel squad feels welcome.
  • Convenient Payment: Accepts credit, debit, even NFC mobile payments. I always forget to bring enough pesos, so this is a lifesaver.
  • Free Parking: No stressful scavenger hunt for a parking spot, and you’re not hit with a surprise fee after a long sunny day.

Best Time to Visit

So here’s the thing about Cozumel—it’s pretty much balmy and beautiful all year, but if you’re a fan of maximizing your vacation joy (and who isn’t?), let’s talk specifics. The peak “sweet spot” for Nachi Cocom is from November to April. The weather is goldilocks—not sweltering hot, not crazy humid—and there’s less rain, so you can count on more glorious sun.

High season (holidays and spring break) means more cruise traffic, so if you’re pushing for that tranquil experience or a romantic getaway, try midweek visits or even those “shoulder months” like late October or early May. That’s when you get the whole “private paradise” effect. I’ve shown up in June and honestly, it was great—just bring your best sun hat and be ready for a quick tropical downpour now and then. Summer’s hotter and more humid, but the water’s warm and the island vibe is somehow even lazier (in the best way).

Rainy season, June to October, is still perfectly doable if you’re not averse to a random rain shower. Sometimes, there’s a brief sprinkle in the afternoon and then—boom—back to glorious blue skies. I once scored an unscheduled siesta that way, and let’s just say, vacation napping is its own art form. Hurricane season does breeze through August-October here and there, so if you’re booking far out, consider travel insurance for peace of mind.

How to Get There

Alright, so you’ve landed in Cozumel, grinning like a kid about your beach club day. Getting to Nachi Cocom is actually pretty straightforward. From downtown San Miguel de Cozumel or from the cruise terminals, it’s about a 15-25 minute taxi ride depending on traffic and the usual “island time” factor. Taxis are everywhere and rates are posted (just agree on the fare before you get in, so there are no awkward moments). If you’re coming from one of the southern resorts, it’s even faster.

If you’re adventurous, grab a rental car or a scooter. The coastal road south is easy to navigate, and having your own wheels gives you the freedom to swing by other south-side gems (just don’t sample the whole margarita menu if you’re the driver, common sense stuff). And yeah, if you come with a big group, consider a private van—makes for great bonding and way less logistical chaos than trying to wrangle half a dozen taxis.

When you arrive, staff will greet you at the gate and check your reservation (definitely book ahead during busy periods). Parking is free and, from personal experience, rarely fills up.

Tips for Visiting

Let’s get practical for a second. Nachi Cocom is calm, tranquil, and a bit of a hidden favorite, and that means a few smart moves can really make your day shine. Here’s what I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way, always with a good story after).
