We took the ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel and stayed at the Playa Azul Hotel.
The site is just a few kilometers outside of Cozumel. It is the only excavated archaeological site on the island, and was built to honor Ixchel, the goddess of fertility. It is a relatively simple site, but will give you the flavor of Maya archaeological sites in general.
