- Q333ATkayc0 contributionsJesus rocks!!!!!We had an amazing time at Sky Reef. Our waiter Jesus was phenomenal. Very attentive and friendly. We will be back. It is a great place.Written January 13, 2025
- halcyonb20200 contributionsDon’t botherGenuinely the worst guacamole I’ve had in Mexico. They brought over the wrong order and then never came over to bring the right one so one of us didn’t eat. Service was awful and the food was overpriced for what it was.Written January 8, 2025
- coachd20250 contributionsYou should head straight to Sky ReefTake a $20 Taxi straight to Sky Reef. Great lunch spot that is on the beach. Drinks are great, service is on point (shout out to Jesus) and the food is always delicious and fair priced. This is where you should take your crew on a port day to get away from the port and truly experience Cozumel. This is our 5th time here....Cozumel = Sky Reef chill day. See you April 1st !!Written January 1, 2025
- Fernando L0 contributionsGreat food and service.Mario made us a great Margarita and was very attentive, Eiden also made our stay a pleasant one. The reef burger was great. And a nice place on the water.Written December 11, 2024
- ram88doc0 contributionsGreat experienceWe selected this place based on reviews and glad we did. The 15 minute taxi ride from the port will cost you $16 each way for two people. There is no beach here, only a rocky area with stairs to enter the water where the rocks have been cleared. Due to high winds and high surf we were not allowed to snorkel but decided to stay anyway. We purchased the all inclusive package that provided unlimited food and drinks for four hours and a tequila tasting. There was a large selection of delicious food and a great selection of drinks as well. There were plenty of beach chairs for everyone and tables by the water to eat. There was also a covered restaurant area if you wanted to be out of the sun. The service was excellent. We had a 45 minute massage that cost $70. They offered three types of massage for various lengths of time from 15 minutes to an hour. They did an excellent job! The tequila tasting was also amazing. There were four different grades of tequila as well as several different tequilas infused with different things such as coffee and peanut butter.Written November 24, 2024
- amarsh34450 contributionsExcellent, service, food and portionsGreat view, wonderful service. Portions are very generous. Hilario was our waiter and he was very attentive. We did the table side chili tomate and it was very fresh and made to order based on preference of spice. Also had nachos and shrimp tacos and had tons of food. Hilarious never far away for drink refills. Can eat right by water or under cover with great view. Highly recommend. We come here every time we are in Cozumel. Prices very reasonable.Written November 16, 2024
- monicamF8322YF0 contributionsBest place in CozumelThe place is really beautiful, with crystal clear water and excellent snorkelling, the food is simply amazing, so tasty and well presented, Fernando and all the boys are very friendly and attentive. At Skyreef you will have the best experience in Cozumel, I can't recommend this place enoughWritten November 9, 2024
- Krmline0 contributionsFantastic DayIf you want a great day trip for fantastic snorkeling/food and drinks this is the place to go in Cozumel. Beautiful snorkeling and wonderful food. Our server was Jesus and he was wonderful. He made sure we had a great shaded spot and helped us with menu items. We have been to Cozumel many times. Best snorkeling. If you do not have your own snorkel gear they can provide it for you. Also there is a guide if you prefer to take you around the snorkel area! Great day today! Thanks Sky Reef and Jesus.Written November 8, 2024

- AZmom2boys0 contributionsBest part of my vacationThis is a great spot for snorkeling! I was somewhat scammed out of a tour at my luxury high end resort, when I looked at reviews and decided to come here. I think this had to be one of the best spots based on customer reviews and I was not disappointed. Staff was friendly. We had a great time. This event made my trip all worth it!Written April 27, 2024
- Alison H0 contributionsChoose Sky Reef and not Playa CoronaAfter a terrible experience at the adjoining beach club Playa Corona ( see review) we went to the Skyreef club They make a nominal charge to use their beach facilities and water access so if you just want to snorkel off their small pier it’s a great place . It’s a lovely area to see the fan coral as well as a number of different fish in an area protected from the boats. It’s no wonder they are busy and the next door place mostly empty. I cannot comment on the food but the staff were professional and friendly !Written February 25, 2024
- 590danad0 contributionsSkyreef AMAZING!!OMG the food is incredible! We had the Nachos, tuna tacos, fish soup, The wait staff (specifically Bladimer and chef Atocha are exceptional!!) If that wasnt enough the snorkeling is one of the best experiences on the island. You wont be disappointed. And dont forget to checkout Cesear and tequila at Reyes TequilaWritten February 24, 2024
- Purpledingles0 contributionsRelaxed and chilled vibeHaving read lots and lots of different reviews about here and other beach clubs on Cozumel we had decided to take the all inclusive option before we arrived. We asked for loungers rather than table and chairs and were swiftly accommodated, waiters were attentive without hovering - 5 minutes massage was fab and we did both choose to have a 60min massage each later in the day. The snorkelling was fine, if you were willing to swim to the boundary markers there were certainly a greater number of bigger fish. The hamburger for lunch was delicious and the guacamole and tortillas were fresh and tasty as was the fish ceviche Tequila tasting was great and Cesar was a very interesting person to learn more than the basics of tequila from. At the end of our time our taxi was organised and we were sent off with more cocktails to go. Honestly there was some building work going on but it wasn’t hugely invasive to our day we are planning to go backWritten February 3, 2024

This was our first visit to SkyReef and we couldn’t be more satisfied. It is difficult to find a place on Cozumel to go which doesn’t charge a lot for an all inclusive package that we don’t need (we have our own snorkel equipment and we don’t drink much alcohol). And we do not want to be in a place with lots of drinking. SkyReef doesn’t charge anything for entry or snorkeling, but relies on income from the restaurant and bar. We got there on Sunday by 11am, found a lounge chair with an umbrella and we’re there until 5pm. The snorkeling was pretty good (better in the morning as it was clearer and more fish to see). We saw at couple of sting rays and a school of cuttlefish, which I had never seen before. We ordered lunch from our lounge chairs and the fish ceviche was amazing, and the nachos with pastor (pork I think) was good. All in all we couldn’t ask for more. We will be back.

Surprisingly good experience. Reef although near the shore, is diverse with fish, and rays. Tequila tasting was quite fun, with aged liquor up to 17 years.
Tip(s):
(1) if you are just looking for beach access (and snorkelling equipment), the tequila tasting, 5min massage, and 1 free drink, then buy your ticket there, it’s 20USD vs 25USD if you book online.
(2) if you are looking for transportation, you can get a taxi for ~30USD return (15 USD each way). Wasn’t sure if there is any other way to access this other than rented vehicles.
(3) If you’re looking for the best atmosphere; go earl around 10, as things clear up around 3. If you’re looking to relax, try and time your visit, as the busiest time when I was there was 1PM (busy at the bar), so maybe use that for snorkelling?
Would definitely recommend if you’re trying to see the Cozumel reefs on a budget.

We came here as part of a private tour on Cozumel Island. They advertised the $20 USD entry fee to include a drink, snorkelling gear, 5 min massage and tequila tasting. But because we were there on a Sunday, there was no massage or tequila tasting. And some people in our group didn’t even want to go snorkelling but were still charged full price. Food was decent. Overall, I was disappointed and felt we were ripped off.
Positive: nice views

We took a cab from Cozumel Palace and had heard good things. The cab driver said there was a 20 dollar cover.
The cover included snorkel gear, a tequila tasting, 5 minute massage, and a drink.
My son is 15, we had our snorkel gear, I don't like tequila, and I didn't need a massage!
I asked if we could just pay as we go. It all felt kinda scammy to pay 40 bucks to enter a bar.
In a very rushed negotiation in broken Spanish and English, they offered 1 20 dollar package with 3 drinks. I felt aprehensive at first, as it just kind of seemed like a tourist trap.
It worked out in the end, the place was nice, and they were very friendly.
The snorkeling seemed bad at first as there is a big barren section that a the cruise touristas stand around looking at nothing. I soon realized that all the cool stuff was in about 2 feet of water right at the bar area. It was actually very good with healthy coral, sea fans, and lots of life.
Once i relaxed, it turned out just fine. I would recommend .

My husband and I stopped here looking for a place to have some lunch while staying on the island for a well deserved kid free vacation. The views were stunning. The service was amazing. The food was delicious! However, our favorite part was the snorkeling. The reefs are incredible, there are so many beautiful fish and water is crystal clear. We were never rushed to leave, we would snorkel for a while, go back to our table to take a break and order a dessert or something to give us more energy. The pork nachos and the Buffalo wings are delicious. We went to the Sky Reef two days in a row because we couldn’t get enough. It’s away from all the busyness of the tourists in town. We went during the week and it was so relaxing and calm. I would give this a solid 10.

Unfortunately the day we were in Port it was very windy. The water was very rough so we couldn't snorkel. However we made the best of it with fajitas, and guac. I got a beach side massage and we sampled tequila. We even bought a bottle it was so delicious. This was my second time there and would go back again!

We have been to Sky Reef many times, but this visit was abysmal. When we sat down to eat, our waiter never served us but made sure he kept larger parties well taken care of. Twice we asked to be served, but no one ever came. Not acceptable.

We had a few hours in Cozumel and thought we'd do some snorkeling. Skyreef looked like a good option. We took a taxi and paid the $20 fee for chair/umbrella, snorkeling gear, and a drink. After paying, we were directed to the chairs. They were pretty worn out and the umbrella didn't work. There was no one around to help with this or explain where to get the snorkel gear. Since we had our own masks, we just went in the water. The water is nice, very clear, and not too deep. The snorkeling, however, is marginal at best. There were a few fish but little coral. After swimming for awhile, we went back to the beach and a server brought our drink. It was pleasant sitting by the water but there are much better beach clubs in Cozumel.
A taxi was available when we were ready to leave.
