Our family lives in Southern California and enjoy traveling and a very active lifestyle. We learned to scuba dive many years ago and knew that this was an activity that promised travel to exotic places. Our first trip to Cozumel had us hooked. The spectacular reefs, clear and warm water, and the varied underwater life beckoned us back on several more trips.
One day, while relaxing in a hammock at the neighboringl hotel, Plaza las Glorias (now the Cozumel Palace), we decided to wander next door to the under construction El Cantil Condominiums, which had for sale signs on the property. We hadn't really thought about buying another place but the building with its unrivaled location on the island, the fact that it was obviously a top tier property, and the certainty that Cozumel was going to be a regular destination in the future put the purchase notion on the table. On our next couple of visits to the island, we were shown a variety of properties up and down the island, from other condos to houses. Many were purchase worthy but none rivaled El Cantil in amenities and location. By that time the North Tower was under construction, it was clear that we weren't the only one's who had arrived at a similar decision. Almost sold out.
What a wonderful escape!. We spend only 4-5 weeks down here a year and each time we return, the slower pace, the welcoming ambiance, and the drop dead gorgeous view from our terrace immediately put us in vacation mode. As foodies, we have been pleasantly surprised by the number and quality of restaurants. Food for the body and spirit.
There's not been a time that we haven't resolved to spend more time down here. In the meantime, we will have to make due in Southern California. Living in two vacation destinations. Life is good..
