Good access to the beach but beach showers need maintenance. Somewhat far from historic center, dining options and nightlife. Good for people looking just to rest and enjoy the beach.

First of all, we will come back not doubt. The place is beautiful, the food it’s delicious and the service is outstanding! The crew was magnificent, the bartender Jade makes the best Mojitos ever, their captain Sebastian made us feel so welcome, and the whole crew including Adalberto, Yainelis, Lina, Wendy, and Alonso made our stay the most memorable and wonderful experience. Thank you all.
