Yes that’s the preferred area for a visit, glad you enjoyed your stay!

Unfortunately Coz is being inundated even more now with cruise ships, 7 or more daily some days, making her one of the busiest cruise ports in the Carib. So staying away from San Miguel and beaches is a good idea.
10 years ago when we were looking for a place to retire we had considered Coz, but the cruise ship schedule had grown so much by then that we decided on the RM instead.

25 years ago, when cruising to Coz or visiting from Playa, we enjoyed our favorite Coz beach (Playa Palancar) and bar (Bob Marley Bar). Being several km from town and the cruise ship docks we rarely saw another day visitor. So even when ships were in we could still have these places to ourselves literally. But these more remote places are now jam-packed with cruisers almost everyday.
And of course the recent assassinations and other cartel-related activities that are now being reported show that Coz is not immune to that as many had hoped.

So it is a shame that Coz is now experiencing more crime and violence, but the cartels follow the $$$ obviously, and friends living there for years who felt their island was less susceptible to that are becoming more concerned and thinking of leaving…
Progress…
