Although the project has a rich history, it appears to be suffering from poor management at present. Some of the trails have been closed, and the motorboats available are generally quite outdated. However, the beaches are absolutely stunning, and the location is truly breathtaking, with the surrounding islands adding to the natural beauty of the area. Overall, there is no doubt that this beach is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by those who appreciate the beauty of nature.

I had the pleasure of residing in the luxurious Cabin #1 and I must say, I would definitely do it again. The abundance of natural beauty and the mesmerizing stargazing experience left me in awe. The sweet melodies of the animals in the background added to the already soothing atmosphere. The food was nothing short of exceptional, a solid treat for the taste buds. I embarked on the hike to Playa Quesera early in the morning, and to my surprise, I arrived before the staff did. It was undoubtedly the highlight of my trip so far. Just a friendly reminder, make sure to secure a ticket at the office before embarking on your journey, it's completely free!

The Curu Wildlife beach is an amazing place to visit! It's full of diverse wildlife and there are plenty of activities to keep you busy, such as hiking, sightseeing, kayaking, boating, and more. The beach is well-maintained and provides a peaceful atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature and is in the area.

Although the entrance fee may appear steep, it is justifiable if you plan on spending the entire day at the beach. Our visit was brief, as we were waiting for relatives to return from their scuba diving excursion, but we encountered various wildlife such as agouti, iguanas, deer, and a plethora of monkeys. Moreover, the prices for kayaking are reasonable, and the kayaks are spacious enough to fit two adults and a child comfortably. A double kayak costs 15 USD per hour or 30 USD for three hours, which is a great deal.
