User reviews

"The beach in this area is simply the best. It's a great spot for families to enjoy a day in the sun. You have the option to park at the Villas for a small fee of $10, or you can park in front of the apartments on the opposite side of the beach. The snorkeling here is fantastic, making it a nice spot for underwater exploration. Plus, there are facilities available at the Vill..."

"The beach appears to be visually appealing, but one must exercise caution as the waves possess a great deal of force and can easily cause one to lose balance and fall."

What to do in Playa Montones? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Playa Montones welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.
