Online Reviews Summary
Cozumel International Airport (CZM/MMCZ) generally receives positive reviews from travelers, who appreciate its small size and ease of navigation. Many visitors find the airport to be clean, modern, and welcoming, offering a relatively stress-free start or end to their Cozumel vacation. While typically efficient, it can experience crowding during peak travel periods.
What Travelers Love
- Small and Easy to Navigate: Travelers consistently praise CZM for being a compact airport with a single terminal, making arrivals and departures straightforward and efficient.
- Cleanliness: The airport is noted for its bright, clean environment and particularly clean bathrooms.
- Efficient Security and Immigration: While lines can occur during peak times, security checks are often quick, and the immigration process is generally described as "super easy," with passport control averaging around 8 minutes.
- Direct Island Access: Flying directly into Cozumel avoids the "Cozumel Bag Drag," which involves taking a ferry from Cancun, saving significant travel time and effort.
- Transportation Options: Various shuttle services are readily available just outside customs, and cheaper local taxis can be accessed with a short walk off airport property.
Common Complaints
- Limited Food Options: The airport's food and drink offerings are considered somewhat lacking, primarily consisting of a cafeteria-style snack bar (Guacamole Grill), a few small kiosks, and a convenience store, rather than full restaurants.
- Crowding and Seating: During busy periods, the small gate areas can become crowded with insufficient seating for all passengers.
- Pushy Salespeople: Upon exiting customs, travelers often encounter numerous timeshare and tourist information personnel, which can be an annoyance and delay their exit.
- Taxi/Shuttle System: The official airport shuttles are priced per person, which can be more expensive for groups than taking a local taxi from outside the immediate airport premises (a short walk away), where fares are typically per taxi.
- Wi-Fi Reliability: While Wi-Fi is available (and free in the Caral VIP Lounge), its general performance and satisfaction rating are only moderate.
Overall, Cozumel International Airport provides a functional and generally pleasant experience, especially for those who appreciate smaller airports. While food options are limited and departure areas can get busy, its efficiency and cleanliness contribute to a positive impression for most travelers.

Ground Transportation
Taxis
Authorized airport taxis and shared shuttle vans are the main options. Tickets are purchased at a fixed, zone-based rate from an official kiosk inside the arrivals terminal before you exit. This system provides clear pricing for both private taxis and more economical shared shuttles (colectivos).
Rental Cars
Several major car rental agencies, including Hertz, Avis, and Budget, have counters within the airport terminal or offices located just across the street. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, to secure better rates and ensure availability.
Public Transportation
There is no direct public bus service or city bus stop at the Cozumel airport terminal. To access local public transport, travelers would need to walk off the airport grounds to the main road (approximately 1 km / 0.6 miles), which is not practical with luggage. Taxis or rental cars are the standard options.
