The beach itself

4.5beach score · medium confidence

The resort is beachfront on Bahia de Petempich, but recent Tripadvisor and Reddit consensus repeatedly warns that the beach is not a strong or reliably usable swimming beach.

Caveat: Rough water: surf and current, not a swimming beach
Caveat: Steep drop-off close to shore
Caveat: Sargassum seaweed lands seasonally, raked daily

Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
