Horrible stench. Ugly sand. And you are HOUNDED by vendors trying to sell you goods left & right. There is seaweed and crap all over the beach. Just go to Cabarate.

This beach was wonderful. The staff, especially sexy blacky, sexy banana and mosquito were hilarious and entertaining. My friend and I personally loved the hammocks or little huts to sleep in all day (after some of the longer party nights heehee).
