The description of the activity is not what is later offered, there are no lounge chairs, the beach is very dirty, and when you are in the water, jet skis and boats approach swimmers dangerously. Not to mention the constant annoyance of the street vendors.
Little information The guide was unpunctual Ground transportation without seatbelts The menu was very poor Very dirty bathroom Dangerous proximity of boats
They told us to be at the meeting point from 8:00 am and that they would pick us up between 8:15 and 8:30. I was there with my family at 8:00 and there was no one to give us information until the guide arrived at 8:40 (for a moment we thought they had left us) and we did not have any contact phone number to know what was happening during those 40 minutes. The beach is truly beautiful, but there are many boats near the shore and there are too many vendors offering you their products and services all the time; these are details of the beach itself that do not allow you to relax 100%. The place we arrived at was quite good and nice, good service, the food was tasty. The bus on the way there had good air conditioning, something we appreciated after having been standing in the sun at 32 degrees for 40 minutes, but on the way back, due to technical issues, they had to turn it off during almost the entire return trip.
Sweep the sea, many stones.
I’ve been going to the same place for the last 3 years, but this tour is very good. Transporation is great and the the beach is amazing and it comes with food for such an amazing price can’t really beat it. This time we had Miguel as our tour guide and he was very informative and spoke excellent English!

The morning of and transportation was a bit confusing as the website and the WhatsUp app said two different things as far as the meet location and or pick up from hotel. When we made the reservation it never asked to be picked up from hotel. We confirmed it morning of and canceled the uber as it was no longer needed. Bus picked us up on time and we were on our way with another group. Milton was our tour guide and he spoke English very well and answered all of our questions while on the bus. He was amazing and very nice guy. Once at the beach, it was amazing and so worth it to get a day bed. The food and drinks were yummy. The day was perfect. Thank you Milton for an amazing day and being there to answer our questions every step of the way.
Very good experience, very good lunch, everything very quiet, super recommended and very good service from our Milton guide.
Feast. My husband's birthday we had a beautiful time the staff offered him a drink and they sang and danced with us
