Cozumel (Spanish pronunciation: [kosuˈmel]; Yucatec Maya: Kùutsmil) is an island and municipality in the Caribbean Sea off the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, opposite Playa del Carmen. It is separated from the mainland by the Cozumel Channel and is close to the Yucatán Channel. The municipality is part of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.

The name Cozumel was derived from the Mayan “Cuzamil” (also spelled “Cutzmil”)or “Ah Cuzamil Peten” in full, which means “the island of swallows” (Spanish: Isla de las Golondrinas). (Wikipedia)
