This is a really great snorkeling spot and bar and restaurant on the West side of Cozumel. Not a sandy beach, but tables in sand at the water's edge, which is rocky coral shelf with a set of stairs providing access to the water. Go here for the snorkeling and to get away from the more expensive and more crowded cruise ship beach clubs if your main goal in Cozumel is a unique snorkeling experience and having a nice meal and drink in the sun at the waters edge. The water just offshore from the restaurant has some of the best fan coral in Cozumel. There also is great sea life to see if you snorkel 50 yards to the left or right of the entry stairs (the tropical fish do not congregate right near the entry stairs). The food and drinks are good, but somewhat tourist pricing. If you negotiate hard with the host/hostess at the entry and you are going to be there for awhile (3-4 hours), you can have the $20 fixed price package (snorkel gear, table/chair/umbrella, one drink, tequila taste and 5 minute massage) changed into a $20 credit against your food and beverage purchases. Highly recommend it for the snorkeling.

What a great stop. The snorkeling was incredible, the value was unbeatable, and the whole place had such a fun, relaxing vibe. The chairs and umbrellas were perfect for spending the day, and the bar swings made it even better. Huge shoutout to Caesar, the tequila master — incredibly friendly and made the experience even more memorable. This has easily been our favorite stop so far, and we’ve been in Cozumel for 10 days.
After a bit of research, we chose Sky Reef because we wanted a small beach club with great snorkeling and amenities, not too far from the ferry terminal, and at a reasonable price. The reviews were spot-on: The place is very cute, with chairs and umbrellas just steps from the reef. Crystal clear water with zero seaweed. No crowds as there was only one cruise ship in port today, so service was excellent. 250 pesos for the taxi from the ferry. We probably should have chosen the all-inclusive package as we enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed the entire day and ate & drank anyway. $20 US includes everything you need for a great day of snorkelling + a drink, tequila tasting (2 shots) and a 5min massage. A nice break from busy Playa Del Carmen.
Food, drinks and service was very good. Price was good, snorkeling was good, tequila tasting was great
Love Sky Reef!!! Snorkeling is awesome!! The tequila tasting is amazing. Go see Cezar. He’s the bomb and will take great care of you
Love Sky Reef!! Good snorkeling. Service is always great. Fernando is a great host and Gerry was an attentive server. Food is good and reasonably priced. Don't forget to stop by and have a tequila tasting with Ceasar.
We had a large extended family of 28 people visit Skyreef during our Norwegian cruise port in Cozumel. That day there were six large ships docked, which resulted in no seating being available for the first couple hours we were there - we had to just sit in the restaurant. Eventually it cleared up and we were able to sit on the beach chairs for the back half of our four hour visit. The snorkeling was fun with plenty of fish (though I had a leaky mask, this equipment has seen better days). Also the food was pretty good quality, our party raved about the burritos, and the fish tacos were excellent.. If you are a drinker and have an appetite, the $65 package could save you some money over ordering à la cart. The members of our party who got massages said it was money well spent. We chose this place as somewhere else to go other than Chankanaab which we have been to several times. It is much smaller, with not much sand and a rocky beach entrance. But the vibe was pretty good so four out of five stars!
I had a fantastic time at Sky Reef Cozumel. The snorkeling was fantastic.. There were lots of fish. The snorkeling area was mostly shallow. Easy entry into the beach even though it was a rocky bottom. I did the open bar option. My server was Geraldo and he was awesome. Never was my cup empty. And we had great conversations as well. I really felt like I got to know him. If you come to Sky Reef, ask for Geraldo and he will make sure that you are taken care of.
What a shame. Have come for years and had access with the understanding you’d eat/drink. Now feels like another island rip off $20/chair - I dont drink beer or coke. So much for feeling welcome
We regret that your experience was quite different from previous ones. The $20 per person charge for the basic package covers the following amenities: snorkeling equipment, lounge chairs, umbrellas, use of restrooms, changing rooms, showers, one beverage, a 5-minute massage, and a tequila tasting. If for any reason you do not require the package, you can still access the facilities with the understanding that you must spend at least $20 on food and beverages. The charge always covers these amenities. We hope that we can provide you with better service the next time you visit. Thank you for trusting us and sharing your feedback.
Great snorkeling right from the shore with clear water and easy access. There is shallow reef close to shore where we saw many different kinds of fish, and right by the wooden ladder entry there was a school of thousands of tiny fish—really fun to watch. Fantastic value at just $20, which includes snorkeling gear, beach chairs, one beer included. Getting there was easy: we paid about $16–$18 each way for a taxi for four people from/to the International Pier, and the ride was only about 10 minutes. The food was good— not exactly cheap, but reasonably priced for the quality and location. On our previous trip to Cozumel, we visited Chankanaab National Park, and this was a better experience and a much better value. Relaxed, uncrowded, and well worth it. Highly recommend, and we would definitely visit again.
