Creator's Key Takeaways
I was a little surprised by the level of security I saw while I was there.
If you want a really decent beach experience, you'll need to go to one of the resort beaches, and that's exactly what we did.
If you choose a nicer, more premium club, generally you're going to get better service, better seating, and a more relaxed experience overall.
I had a personally great time at the beach in Cosmill. The water was clear, calm, and just perfect for relaxing or trying some activities.
