Creator's Key Takeaways

Spanish is the official language, but everyone in the touristic areas are going to speak at least conversational English.

US dollars are widely accepted, but you may get pesos back in change, so be sure to bring small bills.

Cozumel is very safe. I've traveled there solo, I've traveled there with my young daughter by myself. I've never felt unsafe.

Taxis are abundant here, you never have to worry about it. Prices are set by the government, there are no meters here, and those set prices are well publicized and very transparent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring small bills for change when paying with US dollars.
✓Use taxis confidently as prices are government-set and transparent.
✓Explore on your own instead of taking cruise line excursions.
✓Be mindful of overindulgence at beach clubs to avoid becoming a pier runner.
