La atención del personal y los tragos son buenos, aunque en lo personal no me agradó el uso excesivo de plásticos. El mar no es nada del otro mundo: al estar en el Pacífico, las olas son fuertes y el agua es oscura. Además, la playa es pública y no está bien cuidada, no hay sillas ni espacios adecuados para sentarse o pasar el día cómodamente en la playa. En general, una buena experiencia por la comida y el servicio, pero con áreas claras de mejora en la zona de playa."

It was easy to get boogie boards, paddle boards, bikes, and towels whenever you needed them. The drinks at the poolside and all of the restaurants were great.
