One Star — Absolutely Terrible Experience

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this beach deserves it. First of all, the staff was incredibly rude and completely uninterested in helping anyone. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than paying guests.

The beach itself was overcrowded and dirty—trash everywhere and not a single staff member in sight doing anything about it.
