EL CANTIL 5-star Caribbean Villa, Right on the Ocean - Beautiful Views
Welcome to Vista Azul at El Cantil Resort!
Ah, the beautiful Caribbean!
Just sit back on the terrace and watch the boats go by, or layout on the beach, pretend to read, and actually nod off to sleep. Then enjoy swimming in the gorgeous infinity pool, which overlooks the brilliant blue ocean, or maybe choose to snorkel from your dock or even go scuba diving in the matchless Cozumel reefs. There is nothing like Cozumel and it's all yours.
Our Vista Azul Condo is located perfectly!
It sits on the westward side of Cozumel Island and on the south end of Cozumel’s main town of San Miguel. What that means for you is that you can just walk across the street for groceries if you like or amble into town for some of the best cuisines in Mexico.
Our condo is part of the only 5-Star exclusive, luxury oceanfront resort condominium complex in Cozumel. It features the largest living room in the resort. It also features 3 bedroom suites, each with its own ensuite private bath. It offers a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, a spacious, fully furnished dining and living room, and an unparalleled terrace boasting a priceless view. El Cantil is has a sophisticated water refinement system that delivers fresh, soft water to the condo. In addition, our condo has a 6 stage reverse osmosis system with an alkaline water drinking system at the kitchen sink, which offers amazing drinking water. Rest assured that the system is serviced regularly.
You can enjoy our own resort beach and salt-water grotto. There is also an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off diving and snorkel gear, as well as a ladder that will take you down to the ocean easily to snorkel or swim.
You can also go adventuring: scuba boats can pick you up at our own private dock; you can visit Mayan ruins, take jungle tours, ride 4-wheel ATVs, go bonefishing or catch blue marlin and all the great sportfish in between. You can explore Cozumel’s world-renown coral reef and marine park.
Rent a Jeep or open-air VW and explore the undeveloped rustic eastern side of the island or the long, sandy beaches on the south side.
Activities include fine dining, scuba diving, local shopping, parasailing, kayaking, boating, deep-sea fishing, ATV and scootering, (Harleys are available for rent as well), bicycling and nearby championship golf.
Vista Azul is on the fourth floor, which means that your ocean view of the Caribbean from the balcony is unobstructed, yet it is still easy to get to the crystal clear water of the Caribbean or the large infinity heated pool by elevator or stairs.
We have 24-hour security and tip-top service- anything you need; optional maid service and laundry service are available at your convenience. Our property service manager, Laura, will take personal care of whatever you need.
This is a quiet building, occupied mostly by owners, many of whom do not even live in Cozumel. This means the beach and pool areas have few other people - it's almost like your very own. Local town people do not have access to your private beach and pool.
The master bedroom and 2nd bedroom have a spectacular waterfront view. They have wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling high windows. Each room offers private access to the terrace.
Each room has cable TV with a large variety of U.S. channels. Free high-speed internet and local calls to Cozumel. But remember to bring your laptop at your own risk, because you may not want to interfere with your vacation.
Nothing is wanting when you come to Vista Azul. A perfect choice for your vacation. You will love it - everybody does!

We are so delighted you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back again in the future.
Our return to this property in early March as a group of six friends was just as wonderful as our stay last year. Although we had some initial concerns due to recent reports of violence in Mexico, we felt completely safe throughout our trip and experienced no impact from those issues.The location of the condo remains incredibly convenient — an easy walk to town and with a grocery store right across the street. We also loved the upgrades to the balcony furniture. The new large table elevated an already fantastic space. The balcony itself is amazing, and we highly recommend booking the balcony massages.Snorkeling right off the property was even better than last year. The layout of the condo worked perfectly for our group, with two people per room and each bedroom having its own bathroom. There is also a balcony on the entry side of the condo with amazing morning sun. The friendly and helpful security team was always present and appreciated. Ed and Laura were wonderful hosts and responded quickly to any questions.We truly love this property and highly recommend it.
Quiet, spacious condo with a great poolside and beautiful views of ocean. Onsite personnel that made us feel very safe, helped with taxis and gave great recommendations. Laura hired a private chef to come to our condo and we had a 4 course meal that was delicious! The condo is close to the action of downtown and can walk to many places. Grocery/liquor across the street. We ate at Guiodo’s and New Especias for a nice dinner, and Jeannie’s and Rockin Java for a more casual eating experience. Recommend snorkel tour and snorkeling off the dock at the condo.
The host was welcoming. The place was tidy and had great views. Everything was perfect, with the exception of access to laundry. We had not anticipated that and did end up sending out our laundry. Also for our stay and no access to laundry, there should have been more access to clean and dry towels. It did rain quite a bit so we did end up using wet towels more then we would have liked (small problems in a very beautiful location).

Thank you for your kind review and for highlighting our welcoming team, the cleanliness of the condo, and the beautiful views. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.
We appreciate your feedback regarding laundry access and towels. Our manager is always happy to coordinate laundry services during a guest’s stay, and while we strive to provide sufficient towels for our guests, our team is just a phone call away should additional towels be needed.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
We absolutely loved our stay at this condo. The kitchen was spotless and well-maintained, and the security staff downstairs was incredibly friendly and helpful. The snorkeling right in front of the condo was amazing—we even saw a lionfish and a spotted eel just steps from the building! The location, comfort, and overall experience were outstanding. We will definitely be booking this place again on our next trip.

This was our second visit to this condo at El Cantil, and we were once again very happy with the accommodations, service and location. We look forward to another visit!
We loved staying at El Cantil! The condo was very well equipped and accommodating, the view was beautiful and the pool and waterfront was amazing. We would love to stay there again if we return to Cozumel!
This is an outstanding place and condo. Clean, comfortable, all necessary amenities, amazing view, pool and beach area. Perfect for a relaxing trip and centrally located to get to all that Cozumel has to offer.

Our stay at Vista Azul/El Cantil was absolutely wonderful! The unit was very nice, clean and spacious! The complex was also clean and the pool and dock area allowed for some fun in the water...relaxing in the pool and snorkeling off of the dock. The location was great...next to a grocery store and walkable to many restaurants and attractions. Dining at Guidos and La Cocay were VERY tasty!! We really enjoyed our time in Cozumel!!
This condo exceeded our expectations…. Cleanliness, location, every bedroom having its own bathroom, the pool… would recommend to all our family and friends!
Beautiful and clean property. Excellent location. Can walk to everything. No need to rent a car.
Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in Ed's condo at El Cantil. The property was great and just as advertised. The property manager, Laura, was outstanding and very attentive from the moment we arrived to the day we left. We look forward to staying here again on future dive trips.

My wife & I have been professionals in business and real estate. We have 3 children.
Why they chose this property
We have traveled around the world with our family and have always wanted to go to and explore the 'next' spot...until now. We found Vista Azul, in the El Cantil 5-Star Resort condos on the unique and beautiful island of Cozumel and we fell in love. We could not resist being here. We put a purchase offer on the property and were lucky that the previous owners said yes. Now it is our home-away-from-home, and we would love it to be yours as well! We want you to feel welcome and completely at home in this beautiful place.
What makes this property unique
The balcony is spectacular - you can watch the ships and boats go by, or just relax in the hammock. We can't decide whether day or night is more beautiful - you see the sunsets right from your balcony. The infinity pool is right at the ocean. And when you get hungry, you can just walk into town and enjoy any of the myriads of wonderful restaurants available. Or you can go across the street for groceries at the supermarket. Boats pick you up from the private dock. Jeeps and bikes are available for rent to explore the island. You can't beat Cozumel and you can't beat Vista Azul at El Cantil Condos for beauty, peacefulness, and location, location, location.
