“our tour to Playa Morena was very disappointing, and we would not return. The man who walked us around and gave us a tour was very friendly, however, the spot you spend the day looks nothing like the pictures. They do not give you a chaise to tan, the beach and water are not nice. The lady who gave my girl a massage charged an outrageous amount for a massage that wasn’t even good. There are better tours to go on.”
