TL;DR
From Safir hotel, face the sea, go around the kite lagoon on your left, and walk to the cape toward the Lighthouse (look for 'the islands' on Google Maps). Alternative: take a taxi to Tree Pools near Happy dive center for comfortable snorkeling/diving.

The hotel is called Safir. Stand facing the sea — the kite lagoon will be on your left, walk around it.

After the lagoon, walk out onto the cape and continue toward the Lighthouse — that's where the snorkeling reef begins.
