Each tour operator usually has a specific area in the lobby where they will meet guests.

What to Carry for Your Tour
When heading out for a tour, it’s important to pack wisely to ensure a comfortable experience. Essential items to carry include sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against the sun, especially during outdoor activities. For snorkeling tours, a swimsuit and a towel are crucial, while a waterproof bag can be handy for storing personal belongings. Cash in pesos is advisable for incidental purchases or tips, although credit cards are often accepted. If your tour includes a meal, check if food is provided or if you need to bring snacks. Being well-prepared will enhance your enjoyment of the tours available from the hotel.
Booking in Advance
To secure a spot on your preferred tour, it is recommended to book in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. Many tours can be reserved online or through the hotel’s concierge service. Ideally, guests should aim to book at least 48 hours ahead of their desired tour date to ensure availability. This is particularly important for popular excursions like the Cozumel Mayan Ruins and Beach Break or the Private Island Tour at Your Leisure, which tend to fill up quickly. By planning ahead, you can avoid disappointment and make the most of your stay at the Intercontinental Presidente Cozumel Resort Spa By IHG.
Avoiding Double Bookings
When planning your tours, it's crucial to avoid double booking, especially on the days of your arrival or departure. Guests should consider their flight schedule and allow ample time for check-in and checkout procedures. If you arrive in Cozumel in the morning and wish to book a tour for the same day, ensure that your flight lands with enough time to accommodate the tour’s pickup schedule. Similarly, on departure days, it is wise to schedule tours that conclude well before your flight. Consulting with the hotel’s concierge can provide valuable insights into realistic timelines for scheduling tours around travel plans.
