Question

What airport should we fly Into?

Answer

We highly recommend you fly directly to Cozumel International Airport (CZM). It might be cheaper to fly to Cancun, but it is a time-consuming and challenging journey to get to the island from there. The Cozumel airport is very easy to navigate and we will provide transportation between the airport and various accommodations from Thursday to Sunday.

Should we come early and/or extend our stay In Cozumel?

Answer

Gretchen and Sam will be arriving on the island on Saturday, March 22nd and we would love to spend more time with you! There will be planned activities throughout the week for those who can join us like scuba diving, tequila tasting, cave and cenote exploration, Mayan ruins and more! The couple will be departing on Sunday, March 30th around midmorning, but you are welcome to extend your stay in paradise for as long as you wish!
