Definitely worth a visit to the park!
Aug 2021
The beaches and the drive through the park are beautiful. I really enjoyed climbing the light house for the view as well. Its definitely worth a visit and spending the day. We rented a car (no tour) and spent about 3 hours here, but really I recommend more time. We stopped as part of a larger, self-guided trip around the island, but I didn't get quite enough time in the Eco Park to fully justify the entrance fee. We saw the light house, beach, snorkeled and had a quick snack. You really need 5-6 hours to explore more, really enjoy the beach and swimming, and see the crocodiles. If I did it again, I'd spend one day here in the Eco Park, then travel around the island and visit the east coast beaches and town another day.
Oh...and when we were there, certainly no lines...so you probably won't save any time with a skip-the-line ticket.

Snorkeling day
Jul 2021
We took our snorkeling gear and went looking for a reef and the road brought us here. We have been here once before. The lighthouse is fun, and the whole area is very instagram-y, but this time we wanted to spend more time in the water. You aren't allowed to use sunscreen in the water here, so remember your rash guards to protect yourself (and the reef). We saw crocodiles, sea turtles, stingrays, all manner of fish and lots of birds. The roads were a bit bumpy for us on our scooter, but not impossible. $16 each to get in for at least 4 hours of fun (if not more) is a great deal. Everyone that visits Cozumel should come here at least once. We left all our stuff on the beach while we snorkeled and everything was there when we got back, very safe. The staff at the beach clubs were polite and playful. We did have to wear lifevests to go out to the reef, which was kind of far from shore.

Hot, Humid, and Remote.
Jun 2021
While we did enjoy our time here, it was extremely hot and everyone had to wear their masks outside. We saw a HUGE crocodile underneath the tower and learned a lot about the ecosystems in and around Cozumel.

What a view and worth the entrance cost
Beautiful. We didn't need bring our suits or snorkel gear as we saw the surf in the areas and we thought it would be too rough esp for me. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Gentle swells and soft sand and blue waters. Our next visit, bringing it all.

Amazing!!! We loved the entire thing. Leo at the beach was amazing he took my daughter snorkeling to see lots of things. I’m trying to get ahold of someone there because I never got pictures they were going to email me. Does anyone have any idea how to get ahold of anyone!

We swam a long way fighting rough waves… we saw one octopus and one star fish. We have snorkeled 5-6 times in Cozumel at Buccanos Beach Bar and would much much rather have snorkeled there. It wasn’t worth the energy of fighting the waves for us.

Decent time
May 2021
Very windy and the beach was "closed" with a lot of seaweed awash on the shores all around. Some interesting landmarks with the Lighthouse and mini-museum. A steep climb but good vistas. Again, very windy up there on certain days. There is an included Tequila tour which is just a small sampling of artisanal, local tequila with a reported "authentic" production using 100% blue agave. Still excellent and available for purchase since they cannot export.
Further in are a few shanty restaurants offering bar food, beer, liquor and cocktails. They apparently operate independently but seem to be of the same quality (which is only average). There is a Lagoon tour where they took us out for 30 mins to show us a couple of salt-water crocodiles and birds and discuss the different types of mangroves. Not the worst 30 minutes I have spent, but not that exhilarating either.
It's a good cause to support local wildlife preservation and I can say, "I've been there."

Do the beach clubs here take visa or are they cash only?

Most do. Pesos are nice to have and of course the dollar will spend. Sorry for the late response

If you don’t have a car, how do you get around the park? We’re coming in from a cruise ship and not booking a tour

You could book the excursion when you land. Would be a wonderful way to spend the day!

So people can swim and snorkel? Another recent reviewer said it was closed to swimming and snorkeling. Trying to decide on a shore excursion-- thanks!

We did anyhow as part of our tour. I’m unsure if you just show up and pay to enter on your own.

Hello, do they offer Parasailing there? If so does anyone know how much it costs? Also I see some hired a taxi for the day. I was just wondering if it would be better & cheaper to do that as opposed to getting a tour guise Dune Buggy for $75 per person?
Thanx

No parasailing. We rented a car for the day. It was much cheaper and we also used it tour other parts of the island.

What is taxi fare and distance from Carnival Sensation to Punta Sur? Will be there from 1 pm to 9 pm.

Not sure, but think it might be at least $40.00 USD one way from downtown Cozumel. We rented a car for the day.

If we take a taxi here, is it easy to catch a cab back to our hotel (Iberostar Cozumel)?
Also, once you are inside the park, is a car needed to get to all the attractions or is it easily walkable.

You will be able to request a taxi back from the park, particularly if you make it to the beach club. The park is generally walkable so long as you ask the taxi to wait for you at the first viewing tower and then take you into heart if the park where the faro is located.
Since Ibersostar is very far south, you will take some pretty long taxi rides to get anywhere in San Miguel. It may be a better overall cost to rent a small car. We got a Nissan Versa from the airport Thrifty for a week for less than $150. That was far cheaper than 5 or 6 round trip cabs.
