Honest take

What's great

  • Solve the full day: round-trip transport, typical lunch and beach time in one plan
  • A photo stop at La Mano Gigante and a beach day without the boat crossing to the Rosario Islands
  • Good general assessment of the club in reviews: comfortable beach, food and staff care

What to know

  • It's a club beach, not the crystal clear waters of the Rosario Islands; on weekends there are more people
  • Chairs, sunloungers and drinks cost extra, and there are beach vendors; agree on prices before ordering
  • La Mano Gigante is a sculpture for photos inside the club, rather than a large scenic lookout

Before you arrive

Restrictions

  • Bring cash in small notes: chairs, drinks and shopping to sellers are paid on the spot.
  • Always agree on the price before accepting chairs, sunloungers, massages or photos at the beach.
  • Bring sunscreen, a hat and a towel; shade may be limited.
  • Confirm your pickup time and location the day before.
