I am surprised how easily I fell in love;  this place called Passion Island really impressed me.  A few years back while on a west Caribbean cruise, I decided to take an excursion to Passion Island. Little did i know how it would affect me. Our ship docked at Cozumel, Mexico and we disembarked; although I was enjoying my cruise, it felt good to get off the ship for a while. Following a short ride though Cozumel’s San Miguel and the surrounding  countryside, we arrived at the ferry. The crossing was tranquil and uneventful. A few minutes later, the sign ‘Isla Passion’ came into view. We have arrived! The island was very clean and private,  more than I had hoped for. The waters of the lagoon were so clear, it felt surreal.

Once we stepped onto the  island, a greeter gave a brief orientation before we were free to explore. With Passion Island’s natural beauty and clear blue waters, I soon realized this is one of Cozumel’s best areas. The beach like many others around Cozumel, are covered with white sand. When lunch was served, it was a Tex-Mexican style buffet; this included: chicken, rice, fresh fruits & vegetables, bread, chips, salsa, soft drinks and various alcoholic beverages. Following the meal, I focused on the beach, enjoying the serenity of the beach as the water’s of the Caribbean sea splashed upon the beach. Before I knew it, our three hours was over and it was time to return to the cruise ship. The time there passed so quickly and I reluctantly boarded the ferry for our return to Cozumel. The time spent there continues to affect me today. Every time I see a tropical island, I am taken back to that calm, tranquil island with the white sands, blue waters and warm breezes.
