The first restaurant at the entrance is a rip-off. Beware. Upon arrival to the beach, we were guided into the parking lot by a young man, who sat us at a beach table. He took our drink orders, reorders, and food orders. We were discussing a boat tour for the next day with a man named Cristobal. I never knew he was the owner of that restaurant. We enjoyed the ambiance of the beach for a few hours with the drinks and then ordered meals. Towards the end of our stay, I asked for the wifi password. A young lady brought me a slip of paper with it, and all was fine. When it came time to pay, they brought me a bill charging 70pesos for wifi. I responded that I would not pay that. I gave them my credit card for which they were going to add a 5% surcharge. Ok. The young lady who brought me the wifi password now returns with the mobile terminal, which I signed. I immediately questioned the amount, and the conversation went to the wifi charge. She said their sign indicates the wifi charge. Where is the small sign? On the beach. I came from the parking lot. No sign there. Shouting match ensued with another young woman, maybe Cristobal's daughter. My bill was 1370 pesos. It will be in dispute with Chase Bank Credit Cards now. Worse will be the social media impact. I will not be hiring Cristobals boat or anything there and recommend readers go to another restaurant that has the bigger picture in...

Didnt stay there because of rip off take advantage of tourist type of vibes.. strait at the entrance the hustlers try to charge for parking and evrything else ...i parked temporalaly walked out onto the beach to check the vibe: it was jamed with so many people very hectic and the oposite of privacy and peace.. also the parking hustler was laying to me about other beaches around being inaccesable etc so that we would stay here.. fortunatly we turned around and found ourselves a perfect gem playa blanquita a short drive away with literaly no one else at the beach at all vs couple hundred ppl sandwiched together at rascalillo.. 2 starts because its still a nice looking beach if u dont mind hudge crowds...

The beach is Cacaluta but google might call it Riscalillo. Cacaluta is an amazing beach with grainy rather than powdery sand. It's Jan 2, and all of the other beaches were fully crowded but this one was practically deserted with about 4 or 5 other families sharing the entire stretch with us. We saw manta rays and tropical fishes just hanging out in the shallow edge of the beach. There's also an island just off of the coast. We got to the entrance with our scooters but the park rangers didn't let us drive in with them. The walk was pretty but it took about 40+ minutes. However some locals were able to drive in with their trucks and ATVs, we...

Para llegar a Riscalillo doblas en el crucero a la izquierda si vienes de Sta Maria y a la derecha si vienes de Puerto Escondido. La playa esta en una bahía pequeña, lo increíble es el arecife que se encuentra donde inicia el agua y esta descubierto durante el dia por la marea, es color obscuro, al principio pensé que eran piedras de color negro pero conforme me qcerqué vi que eran corales. La arena es gruesa muy suave, te hundes y hay muchos trozos de coral blanco en la arena, como quebrados. Esta delimitado hasta donde puedes nadar.El camino es terracería durante todo el trayecto. Hay dos restaurantes en la playa, tienen estacionamiento, baños, agua para enjuagarte y te prestan mesa y sillas en la sombra siempre y cuando consumas los alimentos o puedes llevar tu sombrilla y pasar el dia ahi. Vi que algunas familias pasaban con su hielera al restaurante. Ahí mismo puedes tomar los paseos en lancha o yate. Lo no bueno: El agua estaba naranja en algunas partes de la playa, olia a marisco y tenia una nata con burbujas, no me apeteció meterme a nadar. El restaurante de la entrada tardaba mucho en llevarte mos alimentos, aprox 1 hora. Pedimos molcajete mar y tierra y llego frio, pedimos nos lo claentaran a lo cual accedieron. En cuanto a sabor es promedio nada fuera de lo común. En precio no es barato. En promedio 300 pesos un platillo. Recomoendo le echen ganas a los alimentos, uno va de otros lugares a paladear sus alimentos y la verdad dejan mucho que desear. A diferencia de la ciudad de Oaxaca, que todo lo que probé en la calle o en restaurant estaba muy bueno.

La carretera para llegar la carretera es de asfalto pero al final son como 20 min en terraceria. Bonita playa con una gran barrera de coral muy cerca de la playa por si te gusta el snorkel, esta playa está perfecta (Si no traes googles alli te rentan unos). Sin embargo solamente hay un pedacito natural de playa donde puedes acceder caminando a ver el coral o disfrutar la playa sin dañar el coral o pisarlo y por esta razón la gente se amontona en el pedacito que está libre de coral. Sin ser fin de semana y sin estar tan lleno el lugar, toda la gente de los distintos restaurantes estábamos en el pedacito de playa accesible y si llegábamos a empujarnos o dar algún golpecito por lo juntos que estábamos, posiblemente en fin de semana o puente las personas esten un poco más apretujados. El restaurante un poco elevado el precio de los platillos pero incluyen el estacionamiento, la palapa, regadera, baños y te dejan tomar bebidas de tu hielera sin problema mientras hagas el consumo mínimo de un plato fuerte por persona, entonces creo que esta justo en el precio, lo que si es que no estaba tan buena la comida (Aprox 350 por persona). Recomendaciones si o si zapato acuático (Hay piedras grandes y duele caminar por la playa), tu equipo para hacer snorkel ya que vi que el equipo que se alquila no está en tan buenas condiciones (Vi a varios quejándose del tamaño, rayados o así).
