Walked along this beach from Doña Lola Macdonalds resort. It was ok but some areas were like a building site, work being done near the apartments leading down to the sea and some of the rubbish lying around.

The must on this beach is to visit the Royal Beach bar! It's a perfect place for having a great time. Perfect food, good music and excellent cocktails! :)

Really nice beach, a little overcrowded. Water was warm and clean. Too bad I spoted several jellyfish and it spoiled the great experience. Also there are a few good restaurants which was also overcrowded at lunch time.
