We visited this beach twice during our trip and absolutely loved it. We entered through Entrance B and grabbed chairs at the far end of the club, right next to the only working kitchen restaurant. It was easy to find seating, and the chairs were super comfortable. Fare rates too! The beach itself was stunning—soft sand, shallow water, and clear. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the laid-back, welcoming vibe. On our first day, we played it safe and ordered pizza. It was edible, but not something we’d get again. Day two was a game-changer: the kids had the Smashburger, my husband got the club sandwich, and everyone was thrilled. Huge portions and genuinely delicious food. Definitely legit beach eats—just steer clear of the pizza. One small suggestion: it would be great if they offered towel clips or bands, as it gets very windy. Just a thought! Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing beach day with great service and surprisingly good food.
