We are trying to decide between a beach club (Playa Mia or Paradise Beach) and a resort for a day pass at Iberostar Cozumel. I'm looking for really good food, as well as fun activities for two 9 year olds and an 11 year old. Even though Playa Mia seems to have the best facilities for the kiddos, I'm not sold, as I've heard the food is not great. How is Iberostar Cozumel? Is there a reason I should pick a beach club over the resort? And finally, we would love to do a snorkeling excursion once at the beach. Do any of the beach clubs or resorts offer this? I've heard great things about the snorkeling trip from Playa Palancar, but not sure the kids would find enough to do there for the rest of the day.

How is the snorkeling excursion from Nachi Cocum? We're looking for a gorgeous beach, good food, not a huge party atmosphere, and really good snorkeling. We considered Chankanaab, but the beach doesn't look great. Nachi Cocum looks perfect beach wise, but I really want a great reef as well. Kids are 9 and 11, very strong swimmers and snorkelers and would love to see turtles, rays and other colourful fish (not just the striped fish that everyone seems to feed bread or bananas, which has been much of their previous snorkeling experience). Or is there another tour that anyone can recommend which combines some great snorkeling (boat tour OK) followed by a beach club with great drinks and food?
