This guy is out of his mind. Costa Rica is outstanding. One of the best places weve ever been. Cozumel has outstanding snorkeling, great beaches, and Mayan ruins aren't far away. Belize and Roatan have the best snorkeling reefs in the Americas. And rain forests in Central America are full of wildlife and adventure.Cozumel a dump? Who are you, Jeff Bezos?
I loved Cozumel, west side of the island, stayed at the Intercontinental Presidente, beautiful place. Water was perfectly warm, clear, lots of great snorkeling.
Also had a good time in Costa Rica a couple years back, half the trip in the Arenal volcano area the other half in Manuel Antonio area by the beach. Costa Rican ocean water is a great temperature but not super blue and clear like you might find in some other places.
Good time though.
My next trip personally, I’d like to get back to Hawaii and do a night dive with the Manta Rays.
Good luck OP, I am sure you’ll pick a good spot.
All our Eastern Caribbean cruise made us do is realize the Western Caribbean is so much better.
