The beach was nothing special. I had the misfortune of renting a private rancho, which was cramped and unkempt. The beds were uncomfortable and the bathrooms were dingy and uninviting. The food was mediocre at best and overpriced. I can't say I enjoyed my time there and I certainly won't be returning on my next visit.
