Which cenote in mexico area close to tulum/playa del carmen is the biggest and best for snorkeling?

I am staying in Mexico for 2 weeks and will be staying in a little town called Akumal between playa del carmen and tulum and would like to go to another cenote to snorkel,both we have been to were small but wonderful, I like the cave cenotes but which one would you reccomend for snorkeling and which one is the biggest?

Aktun Chen (see link below) is very popular. If you want to explore on your own, the manatee cenote is located at the Tankah Tres exit off of 307. Drive down the road, you will have to go through the security gate, and you will find the cenote right on the road directly across from Casa Cenote Restaurant. Go in the restaurant and enjoy a beverage and a bite and then walk over to the cenote. There is no parking and if you don’t spend any money at the restaurant, you will have to pay to park in their lot.
