The beach is perfect but what stood out to me I was given a beer as a welcome was given a seat in the shade with a massage I felt like a queen. That was without any payment.

A dark-skinned man named Hugo, I think Gomez, sells oysters. He gives you a sample, supposedly, and then ends up charging you 120,000 Colombian pesos. My experience was terrible. Don't feel bad for being indifferent; they won't hesitate to squeeze money out of you!

A tidy beach with chairs and umbrellas, vendors who keep knocking on your door every 30 seconds.

The beach isn't bad, but don't even think about buying anything here; everything is incredibly expensive. It's best to bring your own things if possible and stay at a hotel that provides umbrellas and chairs. Don't accept free samples, and if possible, don't even look at other people—I actually had to be rude. The water temperature is very pleasant.
