Riu Caribe or Oasis Palms. Has anyone ever shore snorkeled from these two places? We will be going to the Royal Cancun, which is between the two. I was wondering if anyone had a favorable snorkel from the shore here. Oh, and do they hassle you being in front of their AI resort? Muchas gracias.

Really nothing to see snorkeling in that area. Some places to snorkel would be - Akumal - ADO bus or collective. You can swim to the area for turtle viewing. Or pay next door at Yal Kul.

Puerto Morelos ADO, collective or taxi about $20.00 PP to take you to the reef.

Isla Mujeres several places

From Cancun they have a jet ski/snorkel tour.

Xcaret or Xel Ha.

Cenote's nearby

If you've already snorkeled Akumal and Puerto Morales, you're going to be disappointed with the shore snorkeling. Not worth bringing your equipment. Don't bother.
