TL;DR

According to a traveller’s report, NOOE has a reef about 20 metres from shore, so snorkeling does not require waiting for an excursion. The coral was described as unimpressive, but there were plenty of fish of different colours and sizes; the resort itself was described as quiet rather than party-oriented.
