Well I've been in Mexico for a day and a half now and I'm already back on here

My other 3 friends I'm with are all on facebook, but for me canreef is were it's at.

I must say our hotel is huge, the swim up bar is amazing, and listening to the waves crash on the beach at night is the best! The wedding (my friend Josee and Vik) is tomorrow and we're going into town for shopping on Wed. Hope to do some snorkeling soon

TTYL Love me

i was there this exact week last year for a wedding lol at Grand Bahia principa TULUM .

XEL-HA is amazing but when your snorkling watch out for the 6' barracuda. and if you stick to the far side of the cove there is alot of neat little fish and caves to explore!

we took the community bus instead of a taxi i belive it was only 2 peso's/person. Hope you have alot of fun!

Xel-Ha is nice, but free is better!

Half Moon Bay at Akumal has some great snorkeling. Coincidently I just booked a week at La Joya condos for next January.

Xel-ha: We all have our opinions and expectations when some recommends a place. I was in Cozumel and planned a day trip to Tulum and Xel-ha. IMO Xel-ha was over priced ($90US)and the snorkelling was terrible. Sure there is some fish but the water is murky and you are snorkeling with 1000+ other people. I left after a 1/2 hour and asked for my money back and only got 1/2 my admission back. The murky water is caused by underground fresh water and the vast number a snorkelers.

If you want good snorkeling take the ferry over to Cozumel and find a tour operator such a Dive Palancar that will take you to the south end of Cozumel at Columbia Shallows. It was only $29 for a 2 hr excursion and included all equipment and free beer/pop. PM me if you want more details.
