    Lovely place to go to

    Nice place to spend a lazy day when on holiday. The sea was quite calm on the day we passed by. Unfortunately we did not have the time to do the trip out there, so watched wistfully from shore !!

    Worst excursion ever.

    We took the day trip to Los Arcos to snorkel. Unfortunately there are no fish to see. too bad no one told us that. Then you're taken to a "private, undeveloped beach" which is neither of those things. If you didn't bring cash with you,...More

    Amazing sea life, pristine water

    Very active sea life 11 am – 12 pm: I have never seen so many octopi, moray eels, let alone swimming! It's an endless parade of schools of varied fish all around you.

    We paid $30 a person and stayed at the Grand Fiesta Americana which isn't too far. We purchased our boat ride from a vendor on the beach.
