What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Playa Pescadores offers a unique waterpark experience and highly-rated dining, particularly at Restaurante Piscador. While the beach itself may have limitations and some amenities require maintenance, it remains a fun spot for families and those seeking a lively beach club atmosphere with good music and drinks.
"This is a bizarre place. We saw photos from a while back when this place was booking and have always looked at finding this place. The entrance is hard to find and not exactly welcoming......in fact if it wasn't for a guy cleaning that we asked if it's open and where is the entrance we would never hand known.
The beach in unswimable, no pool, the beach water slides broken, and seemed to be needing repair. The water park for kids was neat doe little kids.
The place was somewhat clean. The staff very friendly. The buffet was minimal with perhaps 7 items. The drinks I don't think had any alcohol.
Price on day we discovered the entrance was 500 MXN all day entrance. The next day they wanted 600, but we stuck to 500 or no bueno. We and only two other families were there.
Staff very friendly. This place has so much potential with a good maintenance crew, better buffet, and an actual welcome sign with the name of the place....."
