Atmosphere
No crowd whatsoever. Plus the beach is so big there's space for anyone. If you drive past the hotel like 15 minutes the beach opens up. It's shaped really flat (like Lajas), unlike in front of the hotel where you're on a slope. So when is big in front of the hotel, you can check out this area of the beach that's flatter and usually has smaller waves than the ones in front of the hotel.
