Great lunch, beach, snorkeling! We took a boat over and got right in for lunch. The food and drinks were very good and the service was excellent. Kids liked the sliders with fries, we were a bit more… Full review by JoeMacRealtor

We did not stay at the resort but visited the beach one day. You have to park pretty far away and then walk down a steep hill. We were wearing flip flops, not suitable for the walk. There is a shuttl… Full review by shannonmM1528BA

For a roundtrip, you would be looking at around $300+ for 2 people and a ~45 minute boat ride. For a land taxi, you would be looking at close to $200 and a 90 minute drive.

Q:
Hello, I just have 3 questions I'd like to ask. 1.I've read that you need to pay $50 a head when passing through the gate. Is that true? 2. If I decide to rent a resort chair for $55 would I no longer be restricted to staying by the "public area"? 3. Am I at least allowed to walk along the shore down to the end, or would I get bombarded by security?

1. If you are driving or taking a taxi to the beach, you would need to pay the 50 per person to get shuttled down to the beach. Alternatively, you could park and walk from the …

1. If you are driving or taking a taxi to the beach, you would need to pay the 50 per person to get shuttled down to the beach. Alternatively, you could park and walk from the gate but it is very steep going down and would be a tough walk back up. That being said, the 50pp is credited to you towards a restaurant/bar bill. Basically is guarantees you eat or drink at their restaurant. So really the 50pp isn’t for the shuttle but for your lunch and drinks and also gets you a shuttle, so come hungry. If you are staying at a nearby resort with shuttle service, they will drive you all the way down to the beach for free with no 50pp charge. 2. No one is restricted to the “public” area. The entire beach is a public area, the resort just has taken up a large deal of it with their loungers. The right side of the beach does have free loungers that are ok but not particularly luxurious by any mean. Feel free to bring a towel and place it anywhere you’d like. The left side is considered the swimming side but is not property of the resort. Don’t let any one from the resort tell you anything different either. One of the locals on the beach will clarify everything for you the second you step on the beach. Seriously, before you even have a chance to look around one of the local boaters or vendors will give you the complete overview. 3. Security will leave you alone. You will mostly be asked if you are interested in any boating tours, taxis, etc. by the local guides docked at the beach but they are by no means pushy or overbearing.

Are there lockers available at this beach?
