La atención es muy buena por parte de los anfitriones, las instalaciones están a pie de playa y es una zona bastante tranquila por que no hay residencias u otra zona de camping a los lados, el único detalle es que le falta mantenimiento a los baños, pero un lugar 100% recomendado.

No clue about the resort? It looks like a private residence. Check out the abandoned hotel that got destroyed
