PalMar Snorkel Beach Club

Great spot to snorkel, they have gear rentals for $20 USD per day. Wait staff was nice and food was a solid portion

FEB 2023 (1st visit) - Quick cab ride from cruise port, good and affordable priced food and drink, private little sun or shade sandbox area with lounge chairs right in front of the rocky beach, and access to pool with fountain if you are not into snorkeling. Enrique and Kiki take great pride in taking utmost care of the day's guests- think it opened at 10a. No butterfly garden at this point (Feb. 2023), but as a cruise passengers with teens just wanting some beach time, sun and shade, food, and drink, this was hard to beat. They also rent snorkel gear and have bathrooms and lockers. Low key way to spend not a ton of $ for a ton of value. Think it was around $20 per person and included dos cervezas each and also good chips and salsa, and menu featured ceviche among other texmex options. Tell cab driver ($13 US) to go to Money Bar-this is right next door. No need to use Mexican pesos, accept USD but were cash only.

UPDATE from NOV. 2023 (2nd visit) - We took another cruise and visited again, and they were running a brisk business with some new employees. So while not as sleepy as our first visit (to which I attribute some % due to my praise on Google ;), it was still good food, shady picnic tables (a few mosquitoes), clean pool, restrooms, snorkel gear for rent, and good basic Mexican food for not too much $. Slightly more expensive, yes, but not exorbitant. Walkway into the water seemed to have be used a lot (no "bridge" needed anymore), but the snorkeling was still good, especially out near the rope in 20-30 feet of water. Fins recommended though; current was fairly strong. Just tell the server when you're ready to leave and a cab will be there in less than 5 mins. - we had a group of 8 and he called a van for us.

My husband and I were staying in Playa del Carmen and took a day trip to Cozumel and ended up here late in the day. What a gem! The drinks were great, the vibe was very laid back, service was impressive! They have tables and seating set up across the street on the beach and a little ramp to safety get into the beautiful waters! We decided to come back to Cozumel the following day just to be able to spend more time here. There is a lady who spoke fluent English that told us that they would be closed for a holiday, but that we were still welcome to enjoy the beach there! We rented a scooter and brought our own drinks and snacks, but really wish we could have enjoyed their drinks again. This place feels more "local" and would go back in a heart beat. Apparently they rent snorkels too.

Fair price, amazing view, enjoyed the afternoon with 2x1 drinks, had nachos And ceviche... so tasty. staff super attentive, definetely would go back there again!

Muy bueno! The food was simple, filling, home made and very good! The beach is very well looked after with great amenities on the beachfront side including plenty of loungers, tables, chairs and a very comfy hammock with plenty of shade to hide from the sun in. A good selection of tasty drinks at reasonable prices, handy parking, friendly staff and well situated for great snorkelling (try and avoid the boatloads of tourists flocking to the same spot though).

I already want to go back!

A nice little hidden and secluded beach club in Cozumel. We spent 120 dollars on 2 full snorkel sets, 3 life jackets, and lunch. The reef is right off the beach. They have a descent pool, changing rooms, and restrooms. I'd go again.

This place was perfect!! It was easy to get to and we had zero problems with the taxis. This place had everything we needed and was so beautiful. The hammock and beach chairs were comfy, plenty of shade, the water was amazing! My husband had the seafood ceviche which was fresh and delicious and I had a chicken quesadilla that was surprisingly good. The snorkeling was amazing. There were so many colorful and tropical fish, we saw an eel and a stingray. What we also discovered is just outside the swimming barrier is where the boat trips were dropping people off to snorkel. We highly recommend this place and would absolutely return

By chance had the entire place to ourselves. Staff made us feel like family, gave us good snorkel tips. The area in which you can snorkel is extensive, pleasantly surprised. Great place to escape the typical Cozumel tourist type stuff.

Relaxing, no crowd, great snorkeling. Laid back

These guys have a great little unpretentious spot on the front, palm trees, loungers and umbrellas in a very unpressurized place to relax and chill out. To use the loungers they just ask you buy at least 1 drink but they won’t pester and bother you to spend money like every other place and the prices are very reasonable. Really nice snorkelling straight off the rock beach, barracuda/rays/box/puffer/trigger and lots of the usual convict fish. Favourite place we’ve found on the island

What a FABULOUS way to spend our day off the ship. I highly recommend! My wife and two teenage sons were spoiled by Enrique and Jasper! We are recommending this place to everyone and have friends going today on their vacation. Thank you for being so gracious to my family!

Loved hanging out in the pool. Was a nice, private retreat.

This place is great for snorkeling and at a great price! We paid 25 usd per person, which included fish ceviche, chips, guacamole, pico, beer, margaritas, snorkel, mask, inflating and deflating vest, fins, lockers, bathroom and pool access. The service here is great!

Shoutout to our server Alfonzo and the team there that took great care of us. There are a great number of fish to see there and several private snorkeling tours showed just off our area, so you know it’s a good spot. Only a 7 minute taxi from the Royal Caribbean cruise port. The entrance to the water is rocky, so just be careful on the way in!

Quiet peaceful relaxing place ,great garlic shrimp, have gone 3 times now . Saturday gets kinda crowded with lots of people from the public areas next to the beach club

This is an incredibly best kept secret here on the island! It is small, quiet, so clean, the friendliest staff that is there to ensure you have the best time! The snorkeling, OMG, the snorkeling is just fantastic. We saw so many beautiful fish, moray eel, fan coral, etc. The price is very affordable (we arrived at 9:30 and spent the entire day until about 4:00pm) and they have very tasty snacks (you get 2 free drinks included with your entrance fee) - we recommend you try the guacamole and the ceviche! We will make sure our next port call in Cozumel we are back! Thanks Enrique and Juan for taking such great care of us and making sure our time was so relaxing and fun!

We really enjoyed our time here. The service was excellent!

Great food and nice place to snorkel. They also have pool and showers.

Great little beach club. Friendly staff, nice pool and great snorkling.

A great day with a beautiful beach and wonderful service. A pool across the street if you're so inclined!

Great place! Better than money bar next to this place.
