We happened on Playa Corona while driving our 24 hour rental car. We were looking for a place to just park and snorkel off shore, but found this amazing & unassuming jewel! There are so many varieties of coral, anemones and marine life here. We loved it and took a taxi here daily our last week in CZM. They have... More

Great place for snorkeling close to shore. Easy steps to wade into the water with amenities right on sight to keep you there for hours if you like. We had no qualms leaving our valuables as the staff seem to keep an eye on everyone coming and going. We met a great family on an excursion from one of the... More

My cousin and his wife like the massage, had three or four during the week we had a car. I liked the snorkel, have to go a ways to get away from where all the terriorists walk on the plant life but it was worth the swim.

We stopped off at this little beach bar whilst on a cycling tour of Cozumel. We mainly stopped for a drink and swim but the snorkeling took us by surprise and was a real bonus! hen we were in Cozumel a few years ago, we were disappointed by the snorkeling off the beach as the corals were bleached and with...

This is a nice place to put in for some off- shore snorkeling. They will watch your stuff while you snorkel in the shallows just off the shore. You'll enjoy seeing lots of different types of fish, sea fans and coral. Afterwards you can have a beer and some ceviche. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome! They... More

On our last day of our trip, since we were unable to go diving, we visited Playa Corona. Snorkeling here was amazing. Go to the RIGHT after you enter the water and stick to the shoreline. We literally saw every creature we saw diving with the exception of a shark. Beautiful sea fans, coral, smaller fish, lobsters...it's all there. Drinks... More

Visited Playa Corona based on a recommendation from snorkelers at our hotel. This beach club is a bit past Money Bar and in my opinion, a lot nicer. Small, quiet and good snorkeling off the beach. They play great music, but not too loud. Did not try the food, just had a few beers. Clean bathrooms, fresh water shower and... More

Just came back (or should i say escaped) from Corona Beach Club. New owner (strange arabic fellow) was creeping on one of the women in our group and we literally had to pull her arm from his grasp just to leave. He insisted she take his number and she did a good acting job pretending she would. Otherwise it was... More

We were staying at the El Cid and took a taxi to Playa Corona. Got there early, like 8am and they were not really even open yet. I snorkled for a bit and then we ordered some food. It was pretty tasty but the best about this place is the location! Quiet, nice snorkeling and cold beer when needed. We... More
