User reviews
"Playa Pocillos has a huge expanse of sand and the ocean can be quite turbulent at times. It also has great facilities."
Maya Hilliard
"That place is much lovelier than it appears from the promenade. It may seem a bit dreary from a distance, but the closer you get to the shore, the more beautiful it becomes. Witnessing the sun rise here is truly a breathtaking experience."
