My friend and I stayed here from Jan. 23-Feb. 2, 2008. Its not a luxury property, so don't expect it. From what I understand, the hotel was severly damaged by Hurricane Wilma and has recently re-opened. The upside is that not too many people know about this place...YET. There is no dealing with the loud crowds, drunk tourists or crowded... more

I have just finished reading two unfavorable reviews of this hotel. I stayed here at essentially the same time as the folks who posted those unfavorable reviews (Feb. 17-26). My experience here was just the opposite. It shows how each person's views of something are subjective and can differ. We arrived and were in our room in five minutes. Requested... more

I stayed here one night last week. I would have stayed two but the hotel was fully booked for the second night on. This time I was in a room with no mini-fridge. Apparently just a few rooms have them. It was not a major problem since I was able to get ice from the restaurant. I would suggest adding... more

My wife and I stayed at the Fontan Feb. 16 - 23, 2008. First, let me say this hotel has a great deal of potential. Most of the rooms are ocean front, with unobstructed views. The web site states this fact. It's about the only thing they are straight about. There is no in-house dive shop. The hotel is affiliated... more

I had to join Trip Advisor to write this review. I stayed there after reading favorable review on this website. Here is my experience at the Fontan Cozumel 1. Upon check they did not have a room, my girlfriend and I were in the lobby 30 minutes after travel 6 hours – Not a good start, but it just got... more

We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival at this hotel. The pictures from the website didn't do it justice. Each room has an ocean view, and was located in a very quiet end of the island yet still within minutes of downtown. The staff was very helpful whenever it came to giving advice on things to do and even helped get... more

We have stayed here many times in the past, as The Mara and later The Fontan, before Hurricane Wilam basically swept the Ocean right thru the rooms leaving all the furniture swept up against the road side walls. We thought that demolition was likely the only option, but, imagine our surprise when we visited the Island and found the hotel... more

Aldora was offering a special hotel/dive package at the Fontan Hotel just north of the Coral Princess. Knowing that the Aldora owner would not do anything “cheap,” I had no qualms about booking the Fontan sight unseen and with no recent reviews. Well after my expected arrival time at the hotel I did show up and they greeted me by... more

We also were at the Fontan for Aldora's Kids Scuba Camp in July. Our two adjoining rooms were clean and comfortable. Hot water and towels were abundant - a must have for divers. As the previous poster mentioned the pool was right out side the patio doors and the snorkeling grotto is just down a short flight of stairs. The... more
