User reviews
"Playa Honda has a variety of beaches to choose from, ensuring you'll find something that suits your needs. During the summer months, the main beach is patrolled by lifeguards, and there are plenty of bars and restaurants along the Avenida. Unfortunately, cycling is no longer allowed for adults."
Clyde Miller
"Far from ideal. It's a quiet little area, with a few restaurants, and a sandy beach. Sadly, you can no longer cycle all the way to Arricife - you'll have to get off and push for about 800 yards, or take the risk of going onto the main road to bypass it."
