The room was spacious, but the issue was with the water. We had to go downstairs to inform them that there was no water supply. It would be great if they could offer some refreshments at the swimming pool, perhaps a bar.

Playa Blanca

This pristine beach is conveniently located near the town, making it easily accessible for visitors. The serene atmosphere of the beach is perfect for those seeking a peaceful and tranquil escape. The water is absolutely stunning, with its crystal-clear and placid surface. The rocks surrounding the beach create a natural barrier, which results in gentle waves lapping at the shore. The entire area is breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning views that will leave you in awe.

Porto Formoso Beach

The potential of this beach is undeniable, but regrettably it is marred by an abundance of litter and debris. It is a shame that such a beautiful location is not being properly cared for, as it has the potential to be a truly magnificent destination. It is disheartening to see the impact of human negligence on the natural environment, and it is my hope that visitors to this beach will take it upon themselves to help preserve its natural beauty. Despite its current state, there is still something special about this beach that draws people in, and it is my sincere hope that it will one day be restored to its full glory.
