The food was okay. We sat outside on the deck, pretty good view of the lagoon, and here I go again, lots of fish to see. The help seemed friendly, but we were there only for lunch and it wasn't during spring break. Oh gee, I wish I could have gone there for dinner because, as I hear, it really gets crazy and HOT.

The snorkeling at Punta Nizuc was easily accessible and no cost. The variety and amount of fish was amazing. I saw very large sting rays to a very large grouper (about 500 lbs). The colors of the fish were very beautiful. The barracudas were a little intimidating (4-5 feet), but no problems.

The walk past Club Med was a little hard to endure with all the topless, g-string wearing, sunbathing mujeres, but I managed. I can't wait to go back.

There is a small charge ($2) for snorkeling. The reef is right on the shore and about 100 yards long. There are very many colorful fish to see of various sizes. I was lucky enough to have an encounter with are very large sting ray (6 foot wingspan).

A short walk to the southern tip of the island is a small Mayan ruin. The views from the path are very picturesque. The hammocks in the shade made for an excellent siesta.
