You arrive on Cozumel’s east shore by private, air‑conditioned van and the wind off the Caribbean immediately rearranges your hair and your plans. The driver parks near a string of low-slung beach bars where surf dares you to stay dry; wooden decks, palm fronds and salt in the air set the scene for five hours of casual bar-hopping, tequila tastings, poolside photo stops and a handful of signature shots served at select venues.
