History
The InterContinental Presidente Cozumel opened around 1968–1969 as the first upscale resort on the island of Cozumel, in the Caleta area on Mexico's Caribbean coast. It emerged during the era of President Luis Echeverría's tourism-development push and became a founding landmark of Cozumel's hospitality scene.
The resort sustained significant damage from Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and reopened after a roughly US$25 million renovation, with further updates in the years since. Today the property operates as an InterContinental resort and spa with around 221 rooms fronting a protected caleta.
