Great snorkeling beach! Saw sea turtles and lots of fish. Love the bars and cute gift shops at the resorts. Make sure you get there early since it's a smaller beach.

The beach is very crowded with $9 overpriced beach chair rentals. The water has a higher tide than it’s neighboring Lindquest beach and isn’t that shallow. There’s a beach bar and restaurant to conveniently grab food and drinks. Overall I was a bit disappointed with the beach and prefer the quieter and more serene Lindquest beach.

Love this beach. We stayed here for 8 days and I wish we could already go back. Soft sand and gorgeous clear blue waters. There was a sting ray swimming around the one day. The snorkeling was nice but not much to see on this beach. There is a great beach bar on site and pizza.

This place rocks! Service is great and the beach is better. Nicky the bartender is efficient and extremely polite with an awesome attitude. The views are amazing.
