Playa Penca has lighter sand than prieta, and still no one else in sight.

Room was clean and spacious! We got the 3 bed family suite. Had a weird smell, I think it was coming from the air conditioning. We ended up just leaving the sliding door open. The staff is friendly and the beach is nice! The breakfast was great, the town has restaurants and a market you can walk ...

Flamingo beach is really close and has a great sunset especially if you eat at coco loco restaurant

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Very much a third world country. Dirty and unsafe. Beach water was black at Potrero.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It was quiet but the sand is very dark and looks like the water is black but its quite clear the further you go in

4/5 - Good

Screwnmom

Potrero is a small sleepy town with lots of dining options but no shopping really which was a downer for my teenage daughter. Lots of expats. I chose it for its convenience to the dive shop I was patronizing.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The roads don’t have a walkway for pedestrians and biking is not safe at all. Al night is very dark.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

No side walks. Bulls walk the streets at night and during the day and it made it dangerous for drivers!

When I’m at the beach, my goal is to capture an image that you could classify as that “iconic tropical paradise” photo. I think I got it this time. #adventure #beach #sunset
