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.
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.

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!

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!
Great snorkeling. Beautiful water. Awesome service. Had snorkeling gear. Try both kinds of the salsa. The cab cost 4 of us $8 from the pier. The drivers don't want to take you there because of no kickback. I will go their again on the next cruise.
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.
