Great beach side location. - The hotel we had the day pass at was very friendly and relaxing. The included lunch was delicious. There are options to purchase additional beverages at the hotel. My wife and I bought chilled coconuts from their trees right on site, which were sweet. They also have massage available for an additional fee, of which I got one. Very relaxing to get a massage with the ocean surf as back ground.

Great place - This is a spectacular place. In this beach you will find turtles, eggs, black sand and good ocean. Perfect for kids and family members. Also is a romantic beach. The water is warm. There is a 2 or 3 hours from the city depending the traffic.
