Xiknal Cozumel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Xiknal Cozumel is worth booking if you want a quiet, family-run base with a pool near the ferry port, and you value warm hosts over hotel extras. Travellers expecting full hotel service or a private kitchen should look elsewhere.

Independent travellers and couples who like a personal welcome will feel at home. Guests praise a friendly family team that gives helpful local tips. The property lists an outdoor pool, a garden, family rooms, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
Day-trippers arriving by boat benefit too, since guests say the ferry port and town centre are a short walk away, while the setting itself stays quiet.
This is a 2-star property, and it shows in the shared facilities. The main complaint is the shared kitchen: it has a large fridge, but it can be noisy and sometimes lacks clean dishes. If you want a private kitchen or hotel-style services, skip it.
Location and getting around
The address is Calle 5 sur 85 entre REM y 5TA AV, in the area of Cozumel rated highest for location. The location score is 9.6 out of 10.
Guests describe a quiet setting a short walk from the ferry port and town centre. Our data does not include measured distances to specific sights, so walking times are not confirmed. Check a map for the places you plan to visit, and budget for taxis or other transport for anything further out.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 185 reviews, which placed it second of the 7 eligible properties we compared on score. That is a very high mark for a 2-star stay, though the review count is moderate.
Hosts get the warmest comments: a friendly family team, a warm welcome and help with local questions. The location also earns praise for being quiet yet close to the ferry and the centre.
The shared kitchen is the recurring gripe. A big fridge helps, but guests mention noise and a shortage of clean dishes at times.
Price compared with our other two picks
We saw a reference price of €115.06 per night for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. The sample median was €174.28, so this came in 34% below. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Coralia Boutique Hotel Cozumel, was €118.81 per night with a score of 8.5 and 4 stars. Our Luxury pick, Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa by IHG, was €476.42 with 9.3 and 5 stars. Xiknal costs nearly the same as Coralia yet scores higher, while Coralia offers a 4-star hotel setting. The Luxury pick is about four times the price.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible properties in Cozumel. Xiknal took the Budget slot because €115.06 was the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice was set aside.
A 9.1 guest score and a 9.6 location score make it far more than a cheap fallback. The shared kitchen is the trade-off.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Breakfast is not mentioned in our data, so assume you will need to sort it yourself unless the listing says otherwise.
Check pool opening times and any fees for your dates. If you plan to cook, ask how the shared kitchen works and what equipment is available.
