Great shots! Some of those fish are wild looking. That big lizard guy looks a little intimidating though.

This guy had two torches on ropes and was swinging in 'em around. I was fooling with the exposure on my camera, and this one turned out pretty cool.

Yeah they look intimidating, but they really don't taste that good. Kinda like like greasy free range chicken.

Doggie said more pics would be better.

First, the Occidental Grand was like Fantasty Island. It's not your typical hotel. It's a bunch of smaller buildings, each with their own open air courtyard, stuck in a jungle-type landscape.

When we pulled up in a taxi to the main building (after dark), they picked us up in a little cart and drove us through the grounds to our building (right by the "quiet" pool). Our room was fantastic! Here I am, after a missed flight, hours in airports, a van ride from Cancun to Playa del Carmen, a few cervezas and a ferry ride, enjoying our arrival:

The grounds were beautiful!

Past the quiet pool, there's a 400' pedestrian bridge over a mangrove\swamp to take you to the "activities" pool and beach.

Who's the hunk in the red shorts and backpack?

 

[jpr62902]

Some more sea life ....

I see no hunk in that pic. Just a tired, abundantly happy person, ready to do shots and pass out!

Oooh I love the color of the water! just gorgeous!

Pictures do not do it justice!!

 

[Doc]

Great pics. That looks like fun.
Do you remember how much they rent those little boats for, and how fast can they go? Looks like you had a good group of folks to rent a number of them.

What else is there to do in Cozumel for those of us who don't scuba dive?

 

[mosi]

Doc......this was the excursion I booked when we stopped from a cruise.

The boats only ran 25 - 30 but we ran the heck out of them and even tho you played follow the leader..... they took you out several miles, full tilt boogie into some pretty good waves for the size of the boats. I believe you can book them direct when they are not filled by the cruise passengers and save a few bucks.

I would do it again.....good time.

let me know if you have any other questions
