    I have been here.. this place is beautiful and I snorkeled with Willem Dafoe and his lovely family.. altogether there were about 20 of us on the snorkeling trip with 5 of them the Dafoe family. OMG.. was he so nice and such a gentleman. He helped us all off of the boat when we went to our private island lunch.. WE LOVE THIS PLACE..

I really want to get to this beach with my six year old. Can we book a tour at playa del carmen with him being 6? We are not planning on snorkeling as im not a great swimmer but can we do it and just hang out at the shallow end?

All 3 grandchildren are very athletic and love adventure. We will have already knocked out zip lining plus stingray/shark swimming at the prior stops. With their ages of 8 to 13, is there any other “must do’s” for them in Cozumel? As always, ❤️ LOVE ❤️ YOUR CHANNEL

    Considering one day would be spent getting there and one day would be spent going home, a week in Cozumel with a day trip to Playa would probably be perfect! If you get bored, you could also consider doing another day trip to Xcaret. It's easy enough with the ferry nearby :)
