May 18, 2025The Explorian is Wonderful
We have had a wonderful experience at The Explorian Cozumel. The food is wonderful. The service is excellent. The activities are super fun with our tour guides Edgar, Ariel, and an Alejandro. The walk to the beach is less than 3 minutes. The jungle feel of The Explorian is a new experience for us that we have enjoyed. We did not think it was buggy and never used our bug spray. We have a cute little frog that comes to the light outside our room and eats the bugs most nights. Wi-Fi throughout the resort and rooms has been reliable. We thought we would miss having a TV so we brought our laptop to watch our streaming services. We never even turned it on. Thank you Explorian for a lovely time. We will be back.

May 17, 2025Mid May Trip 2025
Very nice stay at Explorean. The staff was very nice and the property was clean and quiet. We were a little surprised at the number of children, but they were all well behaved (yay!). The morning breakfast basket left a bit to be desired, as the coffee was lukewarm and the breads were very small. After the first day we skipped the basket and went directly to the restaurant for a wonderful breakfast. Their huevos motuleños is very good! We were in 210 and while the room isn't very big it was comfortable. The bed felt hard toward the end of the stay. I got the sense that most of the guests at Explorean and Fiesta Americana are Mexican nationals, and the staff had some difficulty with English. No problem. We got to practice our Español. We will be back. The wonderful things about the resort very much outweigh those things that could be improved. Beautiful property. Gracias!

A Hidden Gem
The Explorean is a great resort! It has all the perks (All-inclusive, pools, beach access, etc) with 2 unique qualities. First, excursions are *included* in AI fees! We did the snorkel tour and the trike island tour (with tequila tasting!) and they were fabulous! Staff were outstanding including Armando and Ariel! The 2nd aspect that is unique is that the resort sits just behind Fiesta Americana. The Explorean is FA's quieter sister! It's peaceful, relaxing, more of a boutique setting. If you want the party atmosphere, you have full access to Fiesta Americana - their shows, restaurants, beach access (3 minute walk), pools. The 2 resorts together make this one of our favorite places to come.

Good experience
We loved the snorkel trip. Armondo (handsome boy!) and Airield were amazing!!we also enjoyed the bike ride.our only negative experience was with a rental car. We had what we believe was a resort employee claim his car was damaged with our rental car. It was not touched by our rental car.
