Great for swimming. Beach is amazing. Only downside is all the catamaran boats come in for snorkeling. Can be 3-4 boats at one time with their music blasting.

Lovely beach to walk along past charming resorts. Low key elegance
4/5 - Good

Nice location with some beautiful beaches within walking distance. Locals were really friendly. If your looking for more of a night life head down to the south side. The west side is more relaxing with calmer waters if this is what your looking for.
