Muy bonito y tranquilo!!! Y bastante bueno para familias grandes, el mar y la alberca hermosas, solo en la casa un poco de mantenimiento en las cosas de la cocina y de algunas habitaciones estaría bien.

Fui con mi novia, su principal característica es el mar, y lo que lo hace especial son las dunas, una experiencia maravillosa

Me encanta , lugar agradable y limpio, hay vigilancia, hay salvavidas Lo único que no me gusta es que no hay restricción para las personas que andan en cuatrimoto en la playa y pienso que es peligroso para niños

Excelente lugar para disfrutar de la playa. Tuvimos la oportunidad de alquilar una cuatrimoto donde nos dieron un tour por la dunas y además hicimos sand board en las dunas de Chachalacas, esta experiencia está padrísima pues el recorrido está bonito y el reto de la arena está bueno. No había tanto turismo porque no eran vacaciones así que estaba muy tranquilo y a gusto para caminar y comer. Para comer, desayunar y hospedarse “Restaurante y Casa de Huéspedes Juanita’s” el precio es accesible y está todo muy rico, además del buen servicio. En la playa también puedes encontrar que venden varios alimentos en triciclos como piñas coladas, elotes, ostiones, dulces y mucho más.

Bien, muy bien. Fuimos a un tour con LTVer en cuatrimoto a las donas y a hacer algo de sandsurf. Muy buenas experiencias. Pero el restaurant con el que trabajan, honestamente, malísimo. Las cocas estaban bien frías, al menos
