On the beach's north end, the small fishing village of Potrero looks to Playa Potrero and its bay. Toward the southern end, sits the chic beach community of Playa Flamingo.

Feedback From Travelers
Again, everything was above our expectations.
Great experience, service, accommodations, and food. The beach was in front of the hotel room. Note that there are some rocks on the shore, just walk a bit more and find a great part of the beach!
We really enjoyed our stay at Bahia del Sol except for the food. Luckily,lots of very good choices in walking distance, including El Castillo across the street.
