Splendid place to have a couple's stay amidst romance and nature. White sandy beaches and plenty of places to enjoy an afternoon coffee or party. Definitely a place to enjoy.Full review by Mr_Will01

If you are experienced at driving back roads that are almost impassable, and you have a 4 wheel drive, then you can do it. But dont look at mileage to determine how long it will take you. I would add 4x that amount. It is slow going, and either very dusty or very muddy. Both places are great, and I wouldnt discourage you to visit. Just know what you are getting into.

See my review of Santa Teresa Beach on February 8. I would be intimidated going again after being there. Any rain at all will make Santa Teresa a mud pit. And after driving through a couple serious rivers to leave there, I wouldn't care to go if the rivers are higher. And why spend an extra half-a-day driving there and back? While the beach is great, the city infrastructure is very poor. Playa Hermosa is still very good and is much closer. Have fun either way!
