Research Paper On Cozumel

Decent Essays
Lying just 19 kilometres off of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula in crystal clear Caribbean seas Cozumel is no longer a sleepy backwater island that only attracted divers and big game fisherman. The building of luxury hotel resorts along the Cozumel’s coast south of the capital San Miguel and the arrival of cruise ships has changed the demographics considerably, but no so much that it has become another Cancun.

Built to reflect the Yucatan’s Mayan heritage the all-inclusive Grand Park Royal Cozumel is an oasis in the Caribbean sun complete with its own private beach the resort offers everything you could possibly dream of to make a tropical vacation complete.

From horseback riding on the beach to swimming with dolphins and giant sea turtles, Cozumel

    To experience a local aspect of Hispanic culture I visited the Tienda Mexicana La Guadalupana, a grocery store in Chapel Hill. Once inside, the term that came to mind when looking around was bodega. The store was small, but made clear use of its space, with items on the walls, shelves, and even the ceiling. This is in contrast to most “American”, or english speaking, grocery stores I have been to, as they are often wide and spacious, with plenty or room to showcase products. They commonly have bright lights; light, colorful walls; ads and signs everywhere with directions and promotional deals; and music playing over loudspeakers.…

Where you can wake up every morning to the beautiful beach and turquoise water.…
