Recommendation - don't go there.First impression - two minutes of waiting behind a rope, even the waitress stands 1m apart from you.Before we got "gently invited", there were rules to clear. At last 30US$ minimum consumption AND 15% tip fee. Boom. Hungry an afraight to get same / no better conditions (there were and are more in the south) we accepted. What a stupid idea.The place has seen its best years. The peer - the only smooth entry in the rocky beach - was collapsed (several years ago). Without good bathing shoes there is no way in to the sea. Everywhere lies trash and plastic. You sit on old plastic chairs, but not where u want - only where Mrs. Chef wants you to sit. There could be better guests then you.The menu is short, but the offer is ok. The prices aren't - they are outrageous! We ordered Chicken Fajitas for 340$ - typical in beach Clubs are 200$ (we learned it later). Mine Was way to salty and my tummy was half-filled. For my mate it was ok.The bathroom is clean, but shabby - at least using it is included in the price.The best moment in this place was leaving it.

Rude, impolite, and heartless. Our group consisted of 6 adults and 2 children under 3. A staff member offered us a table near the sea, but service was slow. I went to the car to get snacks for the kids during the wait, only to be confronted by the manager/owner, an unkind elderly lady, who informed us that bringing snacks for children was not allowed. I explained calmly it was just for the kids while we waited to order food and drinks. Her response was that children were not allowed inside and snacks were equally prohibited. Even with one of the children crying, she simply reiterated that children were not allowed inside. This is no way to treat customers, showcasing a complete lack of empathy. We left for another restaurant, Skyreef Beach, just a minute away, where everything was perfect.

I was extremely disappointed by my experience at this beach restaurant. The service was a nightmare... The staff was rude and uncooperative. I would definitely not recommend this establishment to anyone.Avoid this place at all costs, it's a waste of time and money.

Super chill place right on the water. Easy in and out to snorkel. They can rent you the kit or you can bring your own. The snorkeling was great — lots of fish and sea fans and easy in and out. No entrance fee but there is a $15 (I think) minimum purchase of food, beer, etc. No music, just the sound of the surf. Service super friendly and they speak good English. Food was just good — not bad but nothing spectacular either. But overall it was a good break from the crowds. About a $16 cab ride from port.

Tourist trap. Overpriced low quality food (double typical) at run down facilities that are literally falling apart, bathrooms in terrible condition. No pool. More expensive than facilities that are 10 times better i.e. Buccanos. Limited value here, try somewhere else.

When we entered, someone said there was a $12 entrance fee OR we have to spend a minimum of $10. We had 4 people and ordered, chips&guac, ceviche, 3 orders of tacos and a quesadilla. The tacos came plain (no toppings) with basically a tablespoon of rice and beans. We ordered coronas and they charged us 100 pesos even though on the menu it said 80. When we got the bill they charged us 400 pesos for their own tip and were very mean about everything. None of them spoke good English, luckily we had a spanish speaker to translate but they were still very mean to us. Snorkeling is good but just pay the extra money to go next door to get better service/food.

It is a quiet place with access to coral reefs for snorkeling. You must consume a minimum of 300 per person (plus service, which is mandatory), or 200 pesos for entry without consumption. The atmosphere is very calm, peaceful, unlike other beach clubs (we had specifically been to one in Playa Paraíso where there were a lot of people). They have fenced reefs which minimizes the impact, and you can still see the fish from outside the buoy - there are many of them and different species. The service is good.
Nice place far from the hordes of tourists in Cozumel.Mandatory minimum consumption for deckchairs. The coral reef is directly under the restaurant. The best place for snorkelling without excursions. Good service

Shame on us for not checking bill, overcharged by over $50!! $130 for 6 beers, ceviche, nachos and guacamole. We visit Cozumel every year, Corona will no longer be on our fav stops.

We visited Playa Corona after hearing about the snorkelling just off the beach. After getting the ferry from Playa De Carmen, we walked half a mile up the road, ignoring the rip off taxis trying to charge $50, to a more reasonable and very friendly taxi driver who charged us $300 pesos to get to playa corona. There were 4 of us, my wife and I, and our teenage children. We were there for about 3 hours snorkelling, enjoying a few beers and the excellent food before a tropical storm came over and we narrowly avoided a lightening strike!! Staff couldn’t do enough for us and the sandy beach, hammocks and clear water were perfect.

Very sad what this has become. Used to be super laid back place with good food and snorkeling. Now it’s overpriced with bad service. I wasn’t even out of the car before worker approached me with a menu and minimum spend requirements.The menu is about half of what it was in 2021 and double the price. They no longer take credit cards even though there are credit card logos everywhere. After 15 years I don’t think we will be coming back.

Awesome view. Nice beach. Food was the worst we had in Mexico. Fajitas were not hot nor ressemble anything authentic. Fish tacos had food dye and were tasteless / gummy. At 25 USD a plate, it’s a shame.
