One of my go-to spots when I'm traveling along highway 1 or camping on the beaches around the Bay. It feels like having family there, which is why I love it. It's definitely a great place to stop and spend some time camping as well. And if you're into lively beach parties, they host fantastic Taco Tuesdays!

The beach is beautiful, but it is quite crowded with houses and lacks many semi secluded spots to relax. The price of 200 pesos for a day is quite steep, but there is a nice bar on the property. There are definitely better beaches along that stretch.

Mark was absolutely fantastic at the off-grid motel, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. The bar food was delicious, and Mark proved to be an exceptional host. Additionally, there were ample spaces available for RVs. I highly recommend this place.

We had a great time at Playa Benaventura restaurant and bar! It wasn't crowded, but the host Nathan was enjoyable, welcoming, and entertaining. He quickly made margaritas and cooked fresh snapper for us. We even watched the Super Bowl there with some fellow Americans. The bar has fantastic decor, a pool table, and stunning views overlooking the water. Despite being in a remote location, the food was good and the atmosphere was fantastic. I highly recommend making a stop there!
