Ericka, if you are looking to seriously snorkel, I would recommend Soneva Fushi in the Maldives over the Four Seasons. The lagoon around the Four Seasons is leargely bereft of coral and very light on fish (although the tidal plains under the water bungalows offer great fish viewing, albeit with strong currents). Also, while the service is solidly Four Seasons, the way the hotel and landscaping is set up, you will definitely be aware of the other patrons around you. At Soneva Fushi, there is great snorkeling literally right outside your door, and the hotel provides a couple of off-island snorkeling trips daily (as does the Four Season), all of which are within a short boat ride.

Don't get me wrong, I thought the Four Seasons was very solid, but Soneva Fushi was in a whole different class.
