Trying to decided between Residecias v Paradis Condos. Paradis has good snorkeling and diving from beach but residencias looks so very nice. is there any decent snorkeling from the beach? we are all divers but like to fill in with snorkeling rather than lay on beach chairs.

There are fish around some rocks and other low structure, but nothing like a full blown reef with tons of color. It's a very easy snorkel and checkout dive area.

Nice report. Thanks for taking the time and posting the pictures.
I think San Fransico beach club was one of the clubs my your condo. What was the name of the other?
PH

Carlos 'n Charlie's beach club is the other

thank you so much for your reply. the beach and condo at residencias is amazing. my only hesitation was being concerned about no snorkleling at or near the condo. we will be diving but i like to be able to occupy the kids with something other than laying on the beach. is there anything with in walking distance (15-20 min walk) with decent snorkling? and are you familiar with paradise condos and their beach. says ithas great snorkling, next to chankanaab but beach isbsmall and rocky. is the beach nice or is it really tiny and rocky?

I know this is an old post but did not notice it before. He was not on Barracuda. That's Cantarell. The sticker is a Nitrox label and the other dive operator was Charro and Sons on the Mayte. Not hearing about any rays showing up so far by the way which is sad. For me using reef hooks and Nitrox is the way to do that dive. Free swimming tends to chase the rays away since they tend to circle along that area of the reef.
