8 Very good

Although the port is not specifically designed for tourism and the beaches may not be the main attraction, they are still pleasant. The water is pristine and there is hardly any litter to be found. Additionally, there are no trash bins in sight, which adds to the overall cleanliness of the area.

The beach is immaculately maintained with gentle, soothing waves lapping at the shore and silky smooth sand underfoot. However, it is advisable to inquire about prices before settling in or requesting any services as the beach staff may lack motivation.

4 Frustrating

The beach is undoubtedly beautiful, but it could use some improvement in terms of cleanliness. Additionally, the availability of bathrooms and showers is limited, which can be inconvenient for visitors. The palaperos who sell drinks on the beach tend to overcharge and even add an extra fee for waiter service, which can be frustrating for those looking to enjoy a refreshing beverage. The price of 220 pesos for these drinks is quite steep and may not be worth it for some.

4 Frustrating

The shoreline boasts an exquisite beauty that is unparalleled, and the water is pleasantly warm and crystal clear. Unfortunately, there is a single drink vendor that seems to prey on unsuspecting visitors. When we inquired about prices, they claimed to be new and charged exorbitant fees, even insisting on a mandatory gratuity.
