2nd vote for El Coz...Great beach, great snorkeling...and if you walk north you past one more hotel and the beach is virtually inhabited.

The price is a little high right now though at $362 a night. We have never paid more than $125 a night. They tell me the prices will be coming down in April. I'll be down as soon as they do.

Occidental Grand had great snorkeling from the beach. You have to swim out to the bouys, but a LOT of fish out there.

This similar post from a while ago has the answers.

Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

El Coz is the best. You can get the free snorkle gear at the hotel, walk south for a while, get into the water and the current will carry you back to the hotel - it's the greatest.....
