a week agoWe did the VIP end for the day and it was great! Beautiful beach, quiet and amazing service. They do offer snorkeling tours as well, sadly they were full when we were there but still managed to see some fish and reef off the beach. I’d 100% go back next time I’m in Cozumel!

a week agoA very nice place, accessible by taxi from the port. It has a bar, umbrellas, and lounge chairs.

2 weeks agoGlad we went to this beach! The entry is expensive (€18), but all in all it was worth it. They have good service and great food options. The beach itself isn't too big or crowded and it's a great place for swimming.

2 weeks agoI am giving 1 star just because the club forces you to consume a minimum amount to access the beach, which should be public! There is a very bumpy road to enter, with all the money they make they should at least fix that... Save yourself some time and money and go to the other side of the island (Chen Rio, Punta Morena) where there are beautiful public beaches, and the consumption to clubs is optional.
