The beach is absolutely beautiful and offers great accommodation options for the whole family. They have plenty of secure parking available, and occasionally, there are vendors selling snowcones from carts and vehicles at reasonable prices. Additionally, they have an ICARE recycling bin on-site for people to conveniently drop off their recyclables. I will definitely be coming back to this place in the future.

The beach has an excessive amount of seaweed, but apart from that, it offers a truly serene and secluded atmosphere compared to other places.

I went to the Manzanilla beach facility around 1.15pm and decided to take a shower. However, shortly after I started using shampoo and soap, someone began shouting and slamming doors, rudely informing me that I could only use water to rinse off and that I needed to leave immediately. It seemed that the person noticed the scent of my sweet shampoo and saw that I was already covered in soap. No one had informed me about these restrictions beforehand, so I was quite shocked by the disrespectful and unpleasant manner in which the woman mopping the floor spoke to me. I couldn't help but wonder what was happening at that facility. This experience was far from what I had expected, especially after visiting for over 3 years. It was one of the most terrible experiences I have ever had, and I have no intention of returning to such a low-quality establishment. Just a word of caution, guys!

The beach offers a more secluded atmosphere compared to the crowded Maracas. My friends and I enjoyed playing cricket without any concerns about bothering others, and there was no one constantly approaching us to offer chairs and umbrellas.
