PalMar Snorkel Beach Club & Patas y Alas Butterfly Sanctuary
Looking to avoid the mobs of the other big cruiser beaches and really relax on your next island visit? Then we invite you to join us and our staff at PalMar Snorkel Beach Club, located in the Dzul Ha Reef, for a nice, quiet and relaxing day in Cozumel. These days it seems like every beach club in Cozumel is so packed with tourists that visitors are often wanting and searching for a less crowded alternative. If you prefer a less chaotic and more personalized environment when visiting Cozumel, then our quiet and quaint PalMar Snorkel Beach Club will be the perfect spot for you and your group to come spend the day! We really are the "Best Kept Secret in Cozumel" that many taxis claim doesn't even exist!!!.
PalMar Snorkel Beach Club is located just a mile or so south of downtown San Miguel and is enclosed with walls, fences and gates on all sides. PalMar sits in front of a 10,000 square foot private beachside residence and provides a unique feeling of a more home-style experience. Inside our walls you will find a freshwater swimming pool (great for novice snorkelers to practice their snorkeling techniques) with jetted spa area, showers, rinse tanks, restrooms and lockers as well as snorkel equipment gear (mask, snorkel and fins) and vests for rent. Surrounding the pool and jetted spa (not heated) area is a large decked area with plenty of loungers, chairs and tables for your relaxation pleasure! The grounds inside feature both sunlit areas to soak up our "Caribbean Paradise" rays and also natural shady areas from the numerous trees for those needing to cool off from the sun..
You will also find our friendly and helpful staff ready to provide you and your group everything you need to make your stay at PalMar Snorkel Beach Club a wonderful experience. You will find a quaint snack bar area where you will be able to purchase tasty freshly made-to-order snacks (guacamole, pico de gallo, ceviche, quesadillas, etc.) and a nice selection of beverages (bottled water, soda, beer and a selection of tropical mixed drinks). Our staff is always more than happy to make you a tasty snack or whip up some liquid refreshment during your time here at PalMar Beach SNorkel Club!
PalMar's Beach and Ocean area is just a few steps outside our gates where you will see our beach area surrounded by a retaining wall filled with sand, palm trees, potted plants, loungers, tables and chairs for any guests that prefer a waterfront, beachside day in paradise There are no crazy jet skis buzzing around constantly nor massive water mountains to scale out front at PalMar Snorkel Beach Club. Instead, we invite you to enjoy a relaxing day lounging on our beach under our palm trees! If you want to snorkel and swim in our world famous Dzul Ha Reef, you will find an abundance of incredible coral reefs, colorful fish and marine life here at PalMar! The beach-entry is a few steps down from our beach area directly into the pristine waters of the Caribbean. Do not forget to bring your underwater camera to snap pics of your time underwater! Plus our dedicated staff will keep a watch out for you on the beach in order to keep the drinks and snacks coming as you need them!
We can and do limit the number of guests inside to a maximum of seventy-five (75) at any given time to ensure a quality and enjoyable experience for everyone. Therefore, PalMar Snorkel Beach Club does require a Advance Reservation & Deposit (If possible, a ONE(1) Week Advance Notice Please - but we will work with you if less notice is provided)! So do not miss enjoying the pleasure of our beautiful, quiet beach or swimming pool! Please submit your reservation request promptly to enjoy our Caribbean Paradise Beach Club!

We spent a day @ your club while our ship was in port. What a wise choice ! The snorkeling was fantastic and your club was staffed by the warmest, kindest people that we met in Cozumel. Mauricio, Dn. Juan and your other staff made us feel comfortable and welcome . The food was delicious, the drinks great and the prices very reasonable. They almost sold us another stay right then and there. We will be back and have already posted our review on the web. Muchos Gracias ! V. Perry ~ Danbury, CT USA
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!

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
I spent the day at Pal Mar Beach Club with my two sons. It is a marvelous place. For the first hour, we had the entire pool to ourselves, then one family joined us. It is great to be away from the cruise ship crowds at other beaches. The pool is large, and the surroundings luxurious. The beach is small, but nice, with direct access to the reefs. The food/snacks are delicious, and the price is right. I highly recommend it. T. Brinker-April 2015 ~ Glen Ellyn, IL USA
We appreciated the correspondence with information and details on how to get to PalMar and what to expect. We were welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed our stay. The Caldwells - November 2015 ~ Victoria, TX USA
