Cozumel is well known world wide for our snorkeling and there are many snorkeling beach clubs on both sides of the island. But without a doubt, one (1) of the island's most beautiful, ocean-side estates is Cozumel's PalMar Snorkel Beach Club where guests are invited to spend an unforgettable day inside their lush, tropical oasis beside the freshwater pool. What makes our experience special is we are small, quiet and peaceful. It is not a massive tourist beach with hundreds of guests. When you are ready for a change of scenery from the beach club area, just take a short stroll outside the fenced and gated estate area to their private PalMar beach where you can lounge on beach chairs or walk down into the stunning Caribbean waters and experience some of the best snorkeling available in the Dzul Ha Reef area!
The management and staff at PalMar Snorkel Beach Club in Cozumel hope you will visit and spend a relaxing and peaceful day at our beach club. Be it spent poolside basking in the warm rays of the sun or venturing over to the beach where you can discover the many underwater secrets of the Caribbean by stepping into the crystal-clear turquoise waters where you can literally spend hours gazing at the colorful corals, sponges and vast variety of fish and marine life! Our friendly staff is ready and willing to assist in making your time at PalMar Snorkel Beach Club an unforgettable experience!

Directions to PalMar Snorkel Beach Club
By Taxi:
PalMar Snorkel Beach Club is located just south of ALL cruise ship piers between Presidente Intercontinental Cozumel Resort & Spa and Fiesta Americana Hotel - a very short 5-10 minute ride via taxi.
It will cost US $9.00 to $11.00 per four (4) persons via taxi.
Ask the taxi driver take you to the Dzul Ha Reef beach area.
TAXIs do not want you to know about Palmar because they do not receive taxi kickbacks for delivery of guests at this location. Prices are lower for guests at this beach club for this reason!
By Rental Car:
PalMar is located south of town and past all cruise ship piers.
On the NEW main highway there is an overhead sign pointing the way to the OLD highway.
The overhead sign says "Chankanaab, Dzul Ha and Fiesta Americana Hotels".
Exit the NEW main highway to the right just where this overhead sign is and get onto the OLD highway.
You will pass the Presidente Intercontinental Cozumel Resort & Spa and go another half mile or so to the Dzul Ha Reef beach area.
If you pass the condos on your left or the Fiesta Americana Hotel, you just missed us!
Once there, you will see a "YELLOW" sign that says "PALMAR SNORKEL BEACH CLUB ~ NOW OPEN!"
You can't miss it!! I hope to see you there! - Sherri
We were there early Feb 2017... The best snorkeling I have experienced! ... and a great place to do it! Private, clean, comfortable with great service. My girlfriend and I spent the day and we had the place to ourselves. We hopped in a taxi at the ferry and had no troubles getting there or back (130pesos each way). We have recommended to several people now ... hoping our friends we met from Sweden made it there ... if so we would love to connect again but do not have your contact info ... if you read this please email us :) We had a chance to visit with Sherri while there ... very pleasant lady. Highly recommended! D. Bint - February 2017 ~ Simcoe, Ontario CAN
When we found PalMar on Google Maps, we were very skeptical but the communications were exceptional. You do have to reserve a spot as they require a reservation to limit overcrowding. We were there February, 12, 2018 as part of our Carnival Cruise on the Glory. My girlfriend and I LOVED it. I wasn't going to leave a review because I didn't want everyone learning about the "gem" we found, but PalMar deserves a great review.
We were greeted by friendly staff who were very helpful getting us set up. Really glad we found you. Love the fact that you have lockers, showers, life vests and there were no crowds. Also like the fact you require a reservation to limit overcrowding! We really felt safe there. The snorkeling was the best I've ever seen and I've been to Jamaica, Virgin Islands, Cayman. There is an area for snorkeling that is roped off for safety from boats yet I could get out deep enough to be blown away by the scenery. We saw Squid, Blow Fish, Flounder and lots of Sergeant Major fish. See my video below. The experience was great! We will be coming back! R. & C. Jarvis (February 2018) ~ Picton, Ontario CAN
Hey there! We spent the day at your place last week with our new friends, Wendy and Randall and had the best day we have ever had in Cozumel. The service, beauty and snorkeling could not have been better. A special thanks to Juan who did us a huge favor! We will be back! Thank you so much for everything! Lori & Eric W. - March 2016 ~ Huntsville, Ontario, CAN
Sherri, We just returned after a great cruise on the Carnival Holiday. We took a taxi from the cruise pier to Palmar Estate Beach Club and spent about 1/2 a day at your beautiful place. We toured the butterfly sanctuary with your wonderful guide who was informative and very gracious. I also spent quite a bit of time talking to Juan and he was delightful. We relaxed, ate chips and salsa, drank pina coladas and soaked in the sun. What a delightful place you have and a wonderful staff that made our visit great. Thanks and if we get a chance to recommend your place to others we will surely do that.
PS: Your website warned us that the taxi drivers may not be too helpful when asked to go to Palmar Estates and you were correct. After asking 3 drivers who all sort of turned up their noses at us and acted like they had never heard of your place or the butterfly sanctuary we found one that would listen. I told him it was between Hotel Presidente & Fiesta Americana and he said OK. Anyway we got there in only about 6-8 minutes from the pier. Dale and Cathy Carlson ~ Louisville, KY USA
(01/05/2019) - It was a much better experience than the other crowded beach clubs in the area. Cash only (as a lot of them are). The beach area is beside the Money Bar and the estate/pool etc. is across the small road. The snorkeling was excellent and enjoyed the privacy. TripAdvisor Review ~ Cave Spring, VA USA
