The beach is not well-maintained and lacks proper housekeeping. The prices quoted do not match the actual payments due to hidden charges. The food quality and hygiene standards are well below average.

We made unforgettable memories during our family trip to this beach. The resort is located right by the ocean, with pools available. The service was amazing, the staff were kind, and our room with a terrace and ocean view was very comfortable.

The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. I visited with a group of about 20 people for a day trip. The beach was clean overall, but the area right by the restaurant was too risky for swimming unless you're experienced. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. However, there is some room for improvement in terms of cleanliness.
