I'm going to Cozumel in July. I have 2 options: Fiesta Americana and
Occidental Allegro. Any info on qulality of dive shops on site would be
appreciated. Also, are they both OK for solo divers?

Thanks,

Tomek

All I can say is that Allegro is further south and you will have
shorter boat rides. My opinion is that you will enjoy yourself at
either.

Agreed. The down side to the southern hotels is the taxi ride into
town. And the taxi drivers don't like taking people back to the
hotels at night, as they will likely get stuck their until their shift
is over, unless they want to get "illegal" and drive back. This
according to the taxi driver who took us to several hotels when I was
doing an inspection. He was a little reluctant to take us until I
said we were looking for a round trip. He gave us a discounted rate.

Not sure if I replied but FA has almost no beach.

FA doe snot have what i consider to be a real beach:

Compare that to the Allegro:

Don't expect ocean view rooms at the Allegro but who cares. Just walk
a ways to the beach.

Wherever you stay you can have other dive shops pick you up so do not
feel compelled to dive with the in-house dive shop if someone else
floats your boat.
