We arrived at about 10 and were able to get 2nd row loungers that still had a clear view of the water and also had nice thatched canopies. The snorkeling from the beach is good with a variety of fish, but it's not as good as destination coral reef snorkeling, so have reasonable expectations. The place is very clean with a calm and relaxed atmosphere and all the employees were friendly--it was exactly what we were looking for. The pool looked nice, but we didn't take advantage of it because we were enjoying the ocean and lounging. Our drinks were really good. The nachos and tacos my son and I ordered arrived fairly cold, but the others in our party said their food was quite good. The price is very reasonable, especially considering that the amount of admission is credited back to you for food and beverage purchases. Everyone in our party enjoyed the day and we will definitely return if we're on Cozumel again.

The wait staff was friendly and efficient. Safe to say we will be back when we visit Cozumel again next year! Be sure to make reservations and plan on being there during sunset.

The drinks were great, the vibe was relaxed and fun, and it was the perfect place to just hang out by the water. The shore snorkeling was amazing too, lots to see right off the beach. However, it was pretty windy and the current was very strong. The shore snorkeling was better at skyreef. It wasn't too terribly crowded during a busy cruise day.
Very chic place, super White Lotus vibes.

Food and drink selection was very sophisticated in terms of presentation; food was cooked and tasted beyond expectation. And yes, the price tier is much higher than your average restaurant. Worth it.
Sadly, due to Americans tipping every time, the wait staff was far too pushy on tips with us. Obviously, we did not tip. Management could pay them more considering the amount of money they askfor food and drink.
If anyone should be tipped, it should be the cooks...
On a bitter note, while my partner and I were exiting on the ground floor, one of the waiters ran down the stairs and asked, ' Hey guys, did you leave a tip for me ? '
Quite sad our night had to end in such a way after enjoying a beautiful dinner over looking the ocean…
Management, pay your waiters more.

Got there right at 10am via taxi and paid 400 pesos per person, which goes towards your food and drink there as a credit. Since we were early we got loungers front row by the ocean. We stayed for about 6.5 hours (the full day) and did so much snorkelling and relaxing by the beach. There were TONS of fish right off the shore and lots of variety, including barracudas.
For lunch my partner and I shared the crispy chicken sandwich. It came with fries for $350 pesos. It was plenty of food for 2 people and very tasty. (Watch out for the seagulls!!)
Over the course of the day my partner and I got 3 frozen cocktails ($200 peso each) and 1 beer (maybe $70 or 90 pesos). To be fair we are not big drinkers, so this was enough for us with our own bottled water we brought.
Service was super friendly, but was sometimes hard to locate a staff member to place an order. Overall it was a bit over $1200 pesos with a tip for both of us, which we found was great value for 6.5 hours of relaxing under palm trees to the sound of waves, and snorkelling to my heart’s content. Will be back again for another day before my vacation is over!
