Was really expecting a lot from this place. Don't get me wrong. It's clean, the people are nice, it's a nice place. Unfortunately the water is full of algae and there are shells all over the place. The water looked dirty. Almost everybody that we know talks highly about this place. But I'm highly disappointed. There's not a lot of shade either.
