The water was not clear at all, I honestly don’t know how you’d see anything to snorkel. It’s got lots of pieces of seaweed and was just…I don’t want to say icky, especially since I spent all day in it in a float, but it’s not appealing. I wouldn’t put my head in it. They do have an opening in the little barrier they’ve constructed that you can go thru, a few people when we were there kayaked thru it, im not sure how the water might be out there.
Even tho the water was not beautiful tho, I enjoyed my time at Maya Chan and would go back. Top notch service, excellent lunch, and just a super relaxing day.
