Sometimes the island lodging is thatched roof primitive, but last week on Cozumel, Mexico, was in pretty decent digs, Hotel Cozumel. Photos by the DJI Inspire 1 drone from over the dock looking back at hotel, then the hotel pool and inner courtyard yesterday morning just after sunrise and a taxi to the airport. My 2nd floor room overlooked the pool on the left side behind the greenery.
