Find somewhere to sit, shut your eyes and simply enjoy the sound of the water lapping at the shore at Ballenas Beach. If you're eager for some sea and sun, this is the place to get your fix.

Situated in Zona Hotelera, this stretch of coastline is worth a look. But you'll find plenty more to see in this area. La Isla Shopping Mall, Delfines Beach, and El Rey Ruins aren't too far away from Ballenas Beach.

8.6/10 Excellent! (199 reviews)

The friendliness and consideration of ALL the staff,made our stay special.They suggested the upgrades and food discounts without us prompting and were always attentive to our needs. The rooms were clean and well appointed and felt luxurious, if you step out make sure to have mosquito spray! The grounds are better than the photos,the beach was great for me but very quite this end of the island. A short bumpy taxi ride will put you in the town in 10 minutes and costs around $12.00. Overall our stay was great and relaxing.
