I snorkelled quite a bit off the shore of Akumal Beach Resort and saw some cool things like a school of massive tarpons (scared me BAD), a big turtle, big ray and huge schools of blue tangs grazing. I followed these schools (hundreds of tangs) from one pile of rock to another it was a blast.
As far as corals go I didn't know what I was seeing at the time but there isn't anything crazy colorful. I think mostly big piles of the greey/yellow porites? No idea I'm still no good with Id. I don't think I saw any branching acros or anything.
That resort is for families. Pretty quiet and great for a non party-guy such as myself. I gained a few pounds and burned about 10 layers off my back and legs snorkelling. Great success!
