Getting to this beach can be quite challenging unless you're staying at the luxurious Grand Palladium Resort. To reach the beach, you have to take the public access path through the jungle and then walk along the rocky coastline in knee-high tide water. While Mexico doesn't allow complete privatization of beaches, the private resorts can make them quite inaccessible. However, the "alberca del mar" was quite impressive and the beach had calm, clear blue waters, making the trek worth it. Will I be returning? Probably not. The "bourgeois" beach was stunning, but there are "people's beaches" that are almost as nice, much easier to reach, and offer good food for sale to the public! Here, only resort guests with wristbands have access to food and drinks.
If you still want to visit:
When you enter the resort area, stay to the left and merge onto the dirt road. Park as far down the road as possible, then get out and walk down the dirt road until you spot some abandoned concrete buildings. Descend a set of stone stairs and take a right onto the jungle path. Eventually, you will reach a rocky beach. Turn right and follow the coastline for a few hundred yards. If you're fortunate, it will be low tide; otherwise, you'll have to wade through knee to waist-high water over slippery rocks. Make sure to wear sturdy footwear that can get wet. Congratulations, you've made it! The total time from the car to the beach is around 12-15 minutes, but it could take much longer during the rainy season.
I'm giving it three stars due to the challenging access and the lack of food and beverages available for sale to the general public. However, if you're fortunate enough to be a guest at the Grand Palladium, it's likely a five-star experience for you.
