If you're looking for a new beach to explore, Playa Hermosa is definitely worth considering. This beach is well-maintained and offers plenty of palapas where you can enjoy some delicious seafood. However, one downside is that there aren't enough bathroom and shower facilities available. Despite this, I still think it's a great option for a day trip or weekend getaway.

4 Frustrating

The beach appears to be neglected and unclean, with dilapidated palapas scattered about. The lack of amenities, such as restrooms and showers, is a major inconvenience. Additionally, the limited food options leave much to be desired.
