Cozumel - If you like to shop, do it! This is the best place to shop for souvenirs for friends or "Real" vanilla for home. We went snorkeling at Sunset Beach. We were a hour early getting there and they said, no problem! They took us right in with a guide and showed us how to snorkel. (It was our first time.) The fish there were beautiful. I was able to have schools of fish swim by and I could almost catch them with my bare hands! (Note: Wear swim shoes for this activity. There is no beach, so you are stepping on coral as you go out to the water.)

The process to get on the ship took us about a hour. You need to have your documents in hand and everything in bags. Rolling bags/suitcases are best!

Golf's Key is a VERY small island where you can rent a hammock, swim or snorkel. They also have an extended snorkel trip for no extra cost which my husband loved. I loved swimming, but stayed in the hammock as well. They do a great job cooking and it is reasonable priced ($8 for chicken kabob plate).
