Lizard Island caters to children 10 years old and over.
whats available at 'lagoons' at atlantis? (and kahala?)
for atlantis could return to ocean club now under FS
though if atlantis offers any onsite, likely super expensive
some aquariums offer diving/snorkeling, some expensive

beach villa and top villa seem nice but premium
21 bedrooms is great, no idea re snorkeling

Weve been to the FS Seychelles on Mahe. It wasnt the best time...cloudy, bit of rain...which didnt make the snorkeling very good. I like to see the colors in the coral and fish. But it was a lovely resort. Id love to try the new FS Desroches island sometime. It certainly does seem like overkill for a 7 year old though, doesnt it! 
Ive been following the Montage Maui on this forum for a while now. There are some good choices in Hawaii.
The full snorkel face masks sound interesting. Have to look into that! Thanks.

What do you guys think of this idea for Hawaii? Apparently, the Big Island has the good snorkeling. Kauai...not so much. Kauai is a bucket list of mine though.
BIG ISLAND
- Four Seasons Hualalai (4 nights)
Enjoy the beautiful property and good service. Teach son how to snorkel in King’s Pond.
- Mauna Kea Beach Resort (4 nights)
Swim and snorkel at the nice beach. See the manta rays.
Possible volcano activity, cultural activities and other snorkeling while on big island.
KAUAI
- Hotel TBD (2 nights)
See the Napali Coast via helicopter or boat/snorkel
A few things I’ve learned...the Princeville St. Regis has been sold and will likely close for a refurb and rebranding. The new Timbers seems to have a 4 night minimum.

Maybe your son will be using his new snorkeling skills learned in Hawaii again in Bora Bora sooner than you had thought
Yes, FlyerTalk changed my life. Particularly the collective knowledge in this forum is worth its weight in gold, but also all of the award ticket and upgrade advice in the airline fora make travel so much better!
