Cozumel Street Massages

You will see therapists setting up chairs or tables right on the sidewalk near the cruise terminals offering very cheap rates. I did this once while we were out walking only because I have a pinched never in my neck. It’s comparable to the people in the middle of the mall you always walk past. Great if you need them for at little as 10 minutes. Just know they will try to upsell you to a traditional massage in their building.

Pros: Very cheap (often negotiable).

Cons: Zero privacy, street noise/fumes, and hygiene can be hit-or-miss.

Recommendation: Spend the extra $10-$20 to go to one of the dedicated locations listed above. The difference in hygiene and relaxation is worth it, trust me.

 

Why Get a Cozumel Massage?

It’s A New Experience

I have had massages in in 4 different countries while traveling and experience six different ways cultures do it. I can tell you with complete honesty, different cultures have their unique way of doing the exact same thing differently.

The most memorable thing I remember is when I was face down they used a minty scent, held it close to my nose I felt relaxed within seconds. It took about 10-15 seconds, and I felt the calm. Enjoy the relaxation of your mind and body BEFORE the massage starts.

Cozumel Erotic Massages

The culture of Mexico is similar to Asian culture in the sense they seek to serve many Americans in all kinds of ways that earn them money. While Cozumel is widely known for its traditional therapeutic and relaxation-focused massage and spa services offered at resorts, beach clubs, and professional parlors.

There are informal services in tourist areas that do offer “h***y endings” or other erotic components. These won’t be advertised but are common only per request. If your looking for these types of massages you are likely already aware of the process. To answer your question yes erotic massages are offered in Cozumel.

It is important to note that the legality of commercial sexual services in Cozumel, and Mexico in general, can be complex, and these services are typically not openly advertised by established, licensed businesses. Visitors seeking this type of service should exercise extreme caution, be aware of local laws and customs, and understand that such arrangements often exist outside of regulated, safe, and professional environments

Is December a good time to go to cozumel?

December is considered a great time to visit Cozumel because of the high temps and dry weather. The month of December is the start of dry season immediately following the cozumel hurricane season. In Cozumel, December is winter, but there’s no cold, chilly weather. That’s what makes this month the start of peak travel season.

The island holds a steady tropical climate, making it a fantastic choice for a winter escape. During the day, temperatures soar to around 83°F, creating the perfect setting for bumming at one of the cozumel beach clubs and exploring the city streets of Cozumel.

Cozumel is not rainy in the month of December. Rainfall is scarce that for sure, but storms do pass through every now and then. Good news is the move through quickly (30 min – 1hr). Then the skies open back up to sunshine. It rains maybe 6 days a month in Cozumel mexico during December.

Temps drop to a comfortable 72°F which means you still can enjoy pleasant night exploring the best local street food without heavy sweaters. December in Cozumel truly is a great time the essence of a perfect vacation.

 

Is it warm enough to swim in December

These water in Cozumel is beautifully warm and the water visibility is excellent for scuba diving or snorkeling. Water Caribbean isn’t like other places, the water temps in cozumel and adding the equator average 77°F to 80°F (25-27°C).

Yes, the water is almost the same temperature as the air! Sometimes with the north winds it can feel a little cooler when your wet and you feel the wind, but it’s very comfortable for water activities.

You can walk into the water without a hint of cold shock because it’s very warm and inviting. The average water temps are 71 degrees in December.

We went out on a snorkeling tour with a group of 12 other people. We spent the entire time in the water stopping at two reefs before anchoring at place where we got to see sting rays!

As your can see above the water is incredibly clear and comfy. The captain and instructor prepared fresh pico while we swam with insanely bright colored wish. My girlfriend even got scared they came so close!

The water temperature is just right, which means it’s absolutely perfect for swimming at a Cozumel beach club or booking a all inclusive snorkeling tour to El Cielo. You can expect to see Eagle rays because they migrate at this time. I highly recommend this snorkel tour for everyone. Couples and families, just click the image below.

 

What to wear in December

 

The trick to packing for a trip to cozumel in December is to thin layers. I’m from the north so it always feels like spring to me, but if your from down south it with feel chilly. I focus on packing light layers for warm days and breezy nights. This is the exact list I packed myself

Daytime Essentials

• Swimwear (multiple)
• Light cotton t-shirts
• flip-flops 
• Thin long sleeve

Sun Protection: Sunglasses are a must so interest in a good pair, and SPF 50 sunscreen.

Nighttime Essentials

• Comfy: light sweater or cardigan
• Formal Layer: Thicker button-down shirt

Remember, he nights can get breezy but it’s not for sure. It’s always better to have layers and not need them and be chilly. If your reading in town it will be much warmer than a romantic dinner by the water.

 

Crowds in December

This is considered the official start of peak season, meaning more crowds and higher prices, especially around the holidays. The high prices don’t stop people from booking their trips in anything more people come!

Cozumel can get up to 7 cruise ships in one day, which means close to 40,000 people from ships alone. The island is festive, decorated for Christmas, with cultural events. I suggest you bring a light sweater for potentially breezy evenings or cooler ‘Norte’ winds that aren’t always the case but can happen.

 

Top Activities in December

• Snorkeling (popular)

• Punta Sur Eco Park

• Scuba diving

• Jade Cavern ATV tour (our best seller)

With December being the peak months you can expect cozumel tours and excursions to be booked. Prices will be higher with less negotiating power. Don’t think you will be able to simply book a jet ski tour on the same day.

If you’re an adventure seeker, December is your time to shine in Cozumel. The winds start picking up again after the summer lull, predominantly blowing from the northeast and north. The chances of windy days are about 29% on average, meaning it’s a good time to visit the best public beach in Cozumel Chen Rio.

The the water is a dream come true in December. It’s an excellent time for snorkeling, swimming. Expect crystal-clear waters and calm seas, providing impeccable underwater visibility for an unforgettable aquatic adventure.

Punta Sur Eco Park

Cost: $16 person

When people ask me for the one thing they absolutely must do on the island, I always tell them to visit Punta Sur Eco Beach Park. Honestly, there’s no better way to escape the cruise ship crowds than heading down to the southernmost tip of Cozumel. There are great places to take beautiful photos like this. She wouldn’t let me leave until we got the perfect pic on this swing

I didn’t pay to climb the Celarain Lighthouse, but you can definitely see the entire coast! But the real magic is spotting the wildlife. You can stop off before you get there as walkout onto a spotting deck to see huge crocodiles in the Columbia Lagoon.

Punta Sur was a really cool experience. There isn’t a whole lot to the tower it’s mainly a beach and Eco Park so don’t have super high expectations.

 

Jade Cavern ATV Jungle Tour

Price: $75

With the sun rising around 7:07 AM and setting at 6:06 PM, Cozumel gifts you approx 11 hours of sunshine each day. Whether you’re an early riser or prefer sunset strolls, there’s lots of time to explore. For travelers who want to see the island in a unique way and this time of year is perfect for a four wheeler excursion tour that stops at the Jade Cavern Cenote.

Our tour started at the beach club and headed down the city streets and Into the back woods. I was surprised Cozumel had a jungle, I thought it was all beaches! Abut 30 minutes through the ride we arrived at the cenote and got to see the bats. The stairs walking down gave a really cool experience.

We stayed here for some cool pictures and headed back to the beach club where we spent the rest of our day at the beach and drinking margaritas! The chairs and amenities are all included when you book so that was cool.

Note: Jade Cavern charges $15 extra and wasn’t included in our ATV tour. So expect $75 + $15 if you want to go.
