Good Hotel for snorkeling????????????

Nursefeet · 11-22-2004

Where is there a good hotel to snorkel? What have you seen and where? Iberostar, Riu Palace? Anyone have pics of snorkeling?

Nursefeet, no snorkeling at the Riu Palace, great beach though. Can't comment on IB's.
I did see couple of fish when I was kayaking outside the swimming area in front of the Palace last year though. Take a James and Anna tour and snorkel in the cenotes.

Nursefeet: Why did you moon us?

You have to wonder about the maturity of some people. Try to help them and that's what you get.

No, it is not a crappy hotel!

It's a very nice hotel...by most people's standards anyway.

Good catch Shammy.....

Would you recommend spending time at both the Barcelo and the Iberostar Lindo? (In a 10 day or 2 week period?) Will it waste a whole day? We stayed at the Melia Caribe Tropical in Punta Cana, and when we arrived at 4PM our roon was not ready until 10PM!

I just don't want another repeat of that. We are town between the two because I love what I have heard about the snorkeling at the Barcelo. I also saw a video of the Barcelo, and it seemed great. We also love the honeymoon suite at the Lindo. If you have stayed at either of these resorts, what was your check-in experience like? Thanks!

Stayed at the Barcelo last spring. Wish I was there right NOW! The grounds are stunning and the beach and water are absolutely gorgeous! I am somewhat picky (Hmmmm...wonder what my wonderful family might add to that???

) and we were so very happy here. The snorkeling is good out by the island and although some people might think I'm impatient ( quiet Dear!) I didn't think there were any service problems during the busy Spring Break week. Vacation is what you make of it! Slow down and enjoy the view....it's still breathtaking whether you have a cocktail in your hand or not!

Have a great Thanksgiving every one!!
