Friends went there, said snorkeling is excellent. They liked the food but they are very simple when it comes to there tastes. I was looking at Coz and Saw Iberostar cozumel cheaper which would be my pick for Cozumel.

We had wanted to go to El Cozumeleno for some time and finally made the trip a little over a year ago. As others have said, the snorkeling is great. Nice beach area. Hope they have some additional chairs on the beach as it was a little crowded when we were there. Rooms were very nice and the view was great. We had a room on the 7th floor and it was nice to sit out on the balcony morning and night to watch the cruise ships come and go.
We enjoyed the food. The main buffett is on the water and is an open air like ABR. They have one speciality restaurant that we ate at every night. Food was good and it was a little more upscale than the sit down restaurant at ABR. Long pants required as I remember.
For a great drift snorkel at El Cozumeleno, walk South (left as you face the water) and go down to the place that used to be Club Caribe and now is a condo and zip line place. At the South end of the property there is a ramp and ladder to enter the water. From there you can go with the current all they way back to El Cozuleno. Lots of fish and things to see.

We stayed at the El Cozumeleno three or so years ago. We really liked it. I've been watching for an opportunity to go back. Every time I see a really good deal, we are already booked to go some place else. :)
I thought the food was a bit better than the last time we stayed at the ABR. We really enjoyed the restaurant. When we were there, the menu changed every couple of days. Get the Baked Alaska if they still have it. The snorkeling was pretty good. Not as many corals as at the ABR, but I saw lots of rays and some fish that I never saw in front of the ABR.
Our room was on the 8th floor, we could lie in our bed and watch the cruise ships sailing by. We had an end room with the smaller balcony, but it was still very nice. View was great.
Forgot to mention that I did a review on TA. If you want to read it, look for the review from MissKittyNemo.
