Beachcombing is a fun leisure activity that the entire family can get into. So, why not take the kids to Penca Beach to see what you can find washed up on the seashore?

Penca Beach is a great place kick off your day in Potrero. This stretch of coastline is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Flamingo Beach, Conchal Beach, and Playa Potrero to fully appreciate what the area has to offer.

Loved this property! This was a much better choice than getting a hotel for the price. It was very private with more space and had a full kitchen. Also had a nice balcony and in a great location in Santa Teresa. Not even a five minute walk across the street to the main beach.

The beach view was amazing. The view from the pool was amazing. They said my reservation wasn't booked with my vip status, so no vip perks. Breakfast says buffet, and the picture shows buffet, but it's à la carte, so not a buffet for the price; you can get a better breakfast elsewhere.
