User reviews
"The beach is incredibly expensive! They recently raised the price to $40 per person. There are much better and cleaner beaches, such as Macao beach. However, if you've already paid the $40, you can use it to buy food and drinks, although they are also very expensive. So in the end, you'll only be able to afford one meal and a drink, which I have to admit were delicious."
