SkyReef Cozumel Snorkel & Tequila Tasting

Posted By : hbhakh
We had a few hours in Cozumel and thought we'd do some snorkeling. Skyreef looked like a good option. We took a taxi and paid the $20 fee for chair/umbrella, snorkeling gear, and a drink. After paying, we were directed to the chairs. They were pretty worn out and the umbrella didn't work. There was no one around to help with this or explain where to get the snorkel gear. Since we had our own masks, we just went in the water. The water is nice, very clear, and not too deep. The snorkeling, however, is marginal at best. There were a few fish but little coral. After swimming for awhile, we went back to the beach and a server brought our drink. It was pleasant sitting by the water but there are much better beach clubs in Cozumel. A taxi was available when we were ready to leave.

We came here as part of a private tour on Cozumel Island. They advertised the $20 USD entry fee to include a drink, snorkelling gear, 5 min massage and tequila tasting. But because we were there on a Sunday, there was no massage or tequila tasting. And some people in our group didn’t even want to go snorkelling but were still charged full price. Food was decent. Overall, I was disappointed and felt we were ripped off. Positive: nice views

We went as a family group of 7. We all felt that we got a really lovely warm welcome and enjoyed the complimentary drink and 5 minute massage. The food was fantastic and worth the wait (it was a bit slow on both occasions we ordered). And actually, we were nervous around how expensive the food might be but it wasn’t too bad and the portion sizes were really generous. We were split on the actual snorkelling area, a few of us loved it and spent a considerable amount of time in the water but others felt it was a bit ‘barren’ and there wasn’t as much to see as elsewhere they’d been. The tequila was very yummy but very very overpriced. The flavoured ones extremely sweet. But the main aged tequila which was really the only one worth buying was 3 or 4 times the amount you’d pay for a single malt whisky in Scotland! Understand it was a family business and would’ve loved to support local (I really wanted to buy some) but unfortunately don’t have $250 lying around spare. Overall definitely worth the price of this package considering everything that was included.

This was our first visit to SkyReef and we couldn’t be more satisfied. It is difficult to find a place on Cozumel to go which doesn’t charge a lot for an all inclusive package that we don’t need (we have our own snorkel equipment and we don’t drink much alcohol). And we do not want to be in a place with lots of drinking. SkyReef doesn’t charge anything for entry or snorkeling, but relies on income from the restaurant and bar. We got there on Sunday by 11am, found a lounge chair with an umbrella and we’re there until 5pm. The snorkeling was pretty good (better in the morning as it was clearer and more fish to see). We saw at couple of sting rays and a school of cuttlefish, which I had never seen before. We ordered lunch from our lounge chairs and the fish ceviche was amazing, and the nachos with pastor (pork I think) was good. All in all we couldn’t ask for more. We will be back.

Surprisingly good experience. Reef although near the shore, is diverse with fish, and rays. Tequila tasting was quite fun, with aged liquor up to 17 years. Tip(s): (1) if you are just looking for beach access (and snorkelling equipment), the tequila tasting, 5min massage, and 1 free drink, then buy your ticket there, it’s 20USD vs 25USD if you book online. (2) if you are looking for transportation, you can get a taxi for ~30USD return (15 USD each way). Wasn’t sure if there is any other way to access this other than rented vehicles. (3) If you’re looking for the best atmosphere; go earl around 10, as things clear up around 3. If you’re looking to relax, try and time your visit, as the busiest time when I was there was 1PM (busy at the bar), so maybe use that for snorkelling? Would definitely recommend if you’re trying to see the Cozumel reefs on a budget.

Beautiful reef, great service from waiters. I waited to get picked up, then i texted the tour operator who never responded, finally asked around the post area and paid $15.00 each way for taxi ride. Tequila tasting requires a tip. If you want to purchase a bottle the price ranges from $60.00 to $250.00. In addition, too much haggling. I was paying to be at a private venue and I was bombarded with people trying to sell me things. Not as relaxing as what I expected. There is no beach it is a reef.

I can’t recommend this place enough!!! We went here while on a cruise to get a break from the crowd of people on the ship. Best decision we made!! Quiet, peaceful, beautiful!! Drinks were good and fast so was food. Snorkeling was wonderful here!! If you want a break from “the party” Go Here!!!!!
