I heard that Barracuda went all inclusive, but they might not have.
I've always liked having dinner in town.I've stayed at what is now Hotel
Cozumel which is close to Scuba Club Cozumel, but the all inclusive part
is optional, unlike SCC. It would be hard to go wrong in Cozumel.
Bay Adventures (www.bayadventures.com) has been my choice for Cozumel
and Belize, but there are lots of good travel agencies.

It escapes me why anyone would be using a travel agency for Coz or Belize?
Please explain.

If you don't have your heart set on the beach, then I highly recommend
Baldwin House. It's a B&B, but surpasses that. If you choose this place, I
guarantee you that you'll be raving about it upon your return.
