"I was disappointed.
It is polluted and the surroundings are unkept. A shame, it could be a place to spend time, play or simply do nothing."

"Wonderful place to spend the evening. There are some kiosks, you can have a beer and eat some shrimp while admiring the view. Super quiet place, brings family and friends together all the time."
