Location is beautiful. We were brought here on a tour of the Island, it was one of our stops. I ordered a local beer and a gin and tonic. The beer was good, only $4 but the gin and tonic was awful it’s a very...cheap gin and you really couldn’t taste any gin, just tonic. It cost $12. They didn’t tell us the cost until we asked for the check. We decided not to order anything else after this. Just be careful what you order, I believe they were taking advantage. So just be mindful of what you order and price so you don’t get ripped off.More

We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise and this city was one of the port stops. Nothing that our cruise offered for excursions wow'd us, so we mapped this restaurant on the water. A little advice - ask how much the cab ride is before...you get in or as you start your ride. We did not, and I think we were overcharged by maybe $5. Once we arrived, a gentleman approached us from the club and explained the risks of snorkeling off their pier (to the right are sharp rocks) and that it was at our own risk for liability claims. We brought our own snorkle gear, but they have equipment available to rent as well. You can also pay to rent their beach loungers and umbrellas. We opted for a table at no charge. He explained we had a minimum of $10 USD to spend on concessions in order to snorkel there, which we easily met with drinks and apps. Actually, I think we were just under the threshold, but they didn't seem to care or check as long as we ate and drank and gave them some business. Bathrooms were clean, it was not crowded at all, and we had a great time snorkeling and hanging out. We had one woman approach us for massages, but there were no other vendors that came around. Be sure to clarify how much the cab ride will be back to the port, we made the same error and when we arrived the woman just said, "It's the same as how much you paid this morning." We were definitely overcharged both ways, but really we spent $20 plus tip each way for our family of 5. Not the end of the world, but it also can't hurt to advise others to ask to prevent this from happening to them.More

The place is very simple not like a resort type but more of nature type beach. relaxing, good snorkeling, everyone from the beginning to the end were extremely awesome. Didn’t bother you at all, but would do everything you need. Highly recommend this place. Non...alcoholic banana drink was very good. The guy that helped me with food even exchanged my 100$ bill. My resort couldn’t even do that. Massage was 35$ and very nice for I think 25 minutes. The girls were very sweet. They just offer the massage but not annoying you. I went to corona beach the day before and after 5 minutes being there unfortunately didn’t feel very welcome so I just left, it was soon to be closed anyways. At skyreef parking lot there were taxis. I just asked the worker if I can get taxi and the guy that worked there told the taxi that I want to go. Lol don’t really know how it works but they took care of me that’s what matters. Place closes at 7 but I left at 5 just because I was worried that all taxis would disappear. But I think you can talk to taxi and tell them that you want to stay later. Most places close early in Cozumel because the cruises leave, this place stayed open later then most beach clubs that I went to in Cozumel. The taxi driver told me that snorkeling is the same whether you go to corona or skyreef, so no disappointments that I didn’t make it to corona. When I snorkeled saw lots of fish and plants but not much of corals, u almost snorkel right in the corona area just the buoy separates the snorkeling area. I only stayed at skyreef snorkeling area.More

Their package ($20 US when we went) included snorkeling, a free drink, a 5-minute massage, and a tequila-tasting if desired. We also ate there - the food was good and not too pricey! It was my and my brother’s first time snorkeling and we really...enjoyed it, definitely one of the highlights during our time in Cozumel.More

Great snorkeling and wonderful service. Chips and guac were fresh and so yummy! We saw a stingray, flounder, a barracuda, crabs, puffer fish, and more! My expectations were surpassed. Additionally, I have to give a HUGE shout out to general manager, Marcos Jiménez. I had...left my phone in the taxi that I left SkyReef from, and he went above and beyond to help return it to me. After I reached out with some information, he retrieved it from the cab driver and shipped it back to me all whilst I was driving home in the US. I will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Cozumel!More

It costs $18 to get in if you are a tourist. This includes beach loungers, 5 minute massage, 1 drink, and a tequila tasting. It started raining as soon as we arrived so we were not able to use the loungers at all. I was...the only one of our group of four that took advantage of the 5 minute massage. They tried to upgrade me to a more expensive package but was not pushy about it when I declined. Since it was raining so hard, we didn't make it over to the tequila tasting. We did use the drink coupons to get our included drink but the drinks only cost $7 if you buy them outright. My husband and I also split a bowl of seafood soup which was good. If the weather had been nicer, it may have been worth the $18 but probably will not return with so many other great beach clubs in the area.More

I drove alongside the beach. Passed in front of Skyreef and it looked good. Decided to continue, it was too early. Drove all the coast and decided to come back to Skyreef. It was excellent, service (team was very kind), good food, fair price. Really...enjoyed a few hours there.More

Came on an excusion which included a snorkel here. Nice, clean location and friendly staff. , Snorkeling was mehhh but I saw Lil fishes, enough to say I went snorkeling. The restaurant much like all others. Open air with food and drinks menu. Mid week...and quiet, very pleasant. Vendors were respectful when you said "no" which was very appreciated! Ordered a can of soda and the Sky Reef ceviche which was cooked (only because I had a long trip in front of me if there was any chance....lol) Ceviche was lemony and mild with some very kicking hot sauce on the side. Safe and pleasant stop.More

The Sky Reef absolutely made our vacation. We visited several times and the service, food, ambiance and snorkeling was always super. Very friendly, comfortable and relaxing. We checked out the other beach clubs and nothing came close to The Sky Reef. My only regret was...I was unable to get one of their signature TShirts in my size. Maybe next time.More

We arrived fairly early 10.30am , we was allowed free entrance just had to buy some drinks, they had snorkelling gear to hire but I had my own. We ordered a couple of cokes to start. The water is crystal clear and is a great...place to see the fish. We ordered some tacos baja shrimp which were very tasty and good size portions. The sun beds are free to use unlike some places in Cozumel. The staff were friendly and the place is reasonably priced, we stayed for a couple of hours but came back later the same day to have a beer and relax. If we go back to Cozumel I will definitely be back.More

We stopped here during our 5-hour private tour. They charge $20USD per person for snorkel gear, a beer, 5 min massage and a few other things. We sat down and ordered drinks, which were horrible. Waiter never brought us our gear. Fortunately kids had their...own. We ordered tacos al carbon nachos which were ok along with some guacamole. Family said I make better guacamole. Over charged us for what we ordered, but wasn't worth arguing over just wanted to get out of there. Definitely will skip this location next time to go to Playa Corona instead.More

We had a great time at SkyReef! We were able to sit at a large table in the shade (we were there with a family group). We snorkeled for quite a while. We saw some really fun stuff! It was a great snorkel experience. Then...we sat out for a while and ate. The food was delicious. Our servers, Francisco and William were fantastic! Then we snorkeled again. It was a fun filled day! A few draw backs were ALL of the people that came around wanting to sell us stuff. Paco with the tequila, the ladies wanting to give us massages, the photos from snorkeling, the ring guy, the break dancers...there were SO many. But overall, it was a fantastic experience. I would definitely do this again.More

Easy access to the sea with a dock and steps leading down to the water. Lots of large sea...fans in this area and usually a nice selection of fish to see. Bring your own snorkel gear or rent here. Large selection of foods on their menu.More
