Been to Playa twice. Loved it! Been to Coz 2 times. Loved it too. I'm choosing Coz this time because I'm going with my Mother and my 11 year old daughter. It's less expensive than Playa and I believe it to be a  better place for my daughter. We are staying at El Cozumeleno which she loved when we stayed there last time. Sandy beach and snorkling right from the hotel. Personally, I would prefer to stay at the Iberostar in Playa again but it's about $200 more per person
