We stayed in Avanico Beach resort wich is ok the price is just right. There are 2 more resorts that are in higher rate but its really recommendable.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Beautiful and kind people

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Zoning is poor. Quality of life of people in general is sub standard. The resort is a little sanctuary that helped us forget the reality of life around the island.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Make sure you negotiate with the tricycle driver because rates can vary dramatically depending on who you get or who you are

5/5 - Excellent
