"Es un bello lugar, hay relativamente poca gente... Y digo "relativamente", porque acudí en puente y todas las playas vomitaban turistas.

Nosotros tomamos uno que costaba $330.00 pesos y comprendía un platillo a elegir (19 opciones), una bebida, paseo en banana y cruce ida y vuelta a playa Pichilingue, así como sombra, mesa y sillas durante la estancia. El agua..."

"La playa es muuuy linda, aunque si estaba mas llena de lo que esperaba, tomen en cuenta que si llevan su carro no te permiten el acceso porque es zona "privada" esa situación es lamentable la gente de la zona nos dijeron que aunque el camino existe no se le permite el acceso a automóviles que no sean del recinto o estén hospedados en el hotel. Así que lo que se hace es ir a puerto Márquez y tomar una..."
