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.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get off the ship early to secure good spots at beach clubs.
Research and book beach club packages in advance for a better experience.
Bring your own snorkel gear for fantastic snorkeling right off the beach.
Use firm 'no gracias' and avoid eye contact with pushy vendors.
Consider outside excursion packages for more affordable and unique experiences.
