The 1900 sq ft home is all on one floor with wall to wall, floor to ceiling glass. It really is an 'Oh my God' experience when you walk in the front door. The open floor plan creates a very spacious feeling. From the balcony you will see the large, beautiful pool area that is for the exclusive use of building residents that overlooks the ocean. There is also a small beach club for tenants across the street that provides a place to sun in the sand and allows easy access to one of the top snorkeling sites on the island as evidenced by the fact that 10-20 snorkel boat operators bring their paying customers to this spot every day. The area right below the condo also makes a nice shore dive as a warm up before diving the big reefs. While diving I have seen eels and lobsters in the coral formations just below our place. It goes without saying that hundreds and hundreds of fish from dozens of different species--large and small--are there.
As you can see in the pictures, the pool is very large, has a huge tiled area surrounding it and provides shade structures. This has become the gathering place of residents of Palmar who are local professionals or Americans who spend several months a year in Cozumel. It is a great place to meet people, hang out and watch the activity on the ocean. The tennis court was finished in July. The owner also plans to put a man made beach in across the street from the condo by fall of 2009.
As you will see in the photos the views are magnificent. We checked out many condos in Cozumel before we bought at Palmar and believe these views are unequaled. By being on the 8th floor you are able to see the incredible variety of greens and blues that has made Cozumel's waters famous. You also have a wonderful perspective to watch cruise ships come and go as well as sail boats, snorkelers and other boats seemingly dance across the sparking turquoise water during the day. Then, every evening you watch the sun set in the Caribbean. It is truly a magical place to stay.
You will want to plan your day so you can enjoy the beach, water or town during the day and be home to enjoy watching the sunset from the large balcony which is where we find ourselves spending most of our time. Mornings are gorgeous looking down into the water and every sunset is different. It is always is a special moment when the last small piece of the sun disappears into the Caribbean.
