Yes you can snorkel off the beach. However if you want amazing snorkeling when you leave the hotel walk to the left and follow the beach to the far end (short walk 5-10 minutes). Swim out 100 feet and you will see spectacular Fish, coral, and plants. This section is separated by buoys to keep boats away from the reef and snorkelers. Another option is to swim at a 45° angle to the right from leaving the hotel toward the piers that the fishing boats use. The fisherman toss scraps into the water and that tracks all sorts of fish around the pier. Guaranteed excitement and fun. Apparently there is a sunken boat further off the shore in that area but we did not find it. The snorkeling is 1000 times better than Hawaii or anything in Florida. It’s just much cleaner and less damaged by people. Have fun, we sure did.

I am not familiar with the "family room". In all the rooms we stayed in, there was a queen bed and a single, but all one room.

Hotel offers transportation and from the airport for person is $ 15 and 2-4 people $ 20...thank you
