We had a very good time at this beautiful park.
We started the day by exploring the trails and spotting al kinds of animals.
We saw monkeys, nose bears, a kind of deer and a sloth high up in the trees.
Later we enjoyed the beautiful beach and the scenery. There are even showers to wash away the salt and sand after a swim in the ocean.

Beautiful park. Saw sloths and monkeys. Be careful with hustlers outside the park. They lied to us and made us park by the beach. They charged $7 which is not a lot but there's a closer parking lot that is $3. What bothered me is that they lied to us and hustled us...nit cool. It made me feel uncomfortable. We decided to go back to the guys and got our money back.
Great trails, leads right up to a beach. You can not bring any disposable plastic containers or water bottles inside. They do bag searches to make sure people comply. In the end it keeps the area clean. They do have clean public restrooms by the beach where you can change into bathing suits or out of wet clothes. We were able to see various animals such as sloths, crabs, and monkeys. Don’t get too close to the monkeys. Tourist should use their best judgment. We witnessed one tourist too close to the moneys, while trying to get a close-up picture and ended up getting bitten by one. Thankfully the bite did t break any skin. The street outside the main entrance and exit are lined up with venders and also a few restaurants.
Beautiful park for hiking and going to the beach at the same time! We saw sloths and monkeys, very beautiful place. The only things were all the people trying to sell you and quite force you to their parking spaces, as well as all the tours and sightseeing. You don't really need a telescope to see the animals, just venture in and enjoy! Also, bring a metal water flask because they make you throw any water bottle to the trash before entering the park and get your tickets online beforehand!
This park is absolutely amazing. For the people who like greeens and nature, you can walk through different trails. For the people who like beach, you can relax there. You can spot sloths (although not easy), naughty monkeys and some big lizards. I went to this park with tour.
Tons of animals, sloths, hummingbirds, toucans and more. Wonderful beaches with no bothering of sellers. Definitely worth spending one ore more days, even if you only do a beach day. But take care of the monkeys the open up your bag and steal stuff, preferably things in plastic bags.
This park is gorgeous. I only wish we had more time to explore. We arrived at noon and the park closes the beach at 3 and the park at 5pm so make sure and arrive earlier if you want to see everything this park has to offer. Something to note is that just before you arrive at the park there are these men aggressively calling to you and stopping your car to park where they say and asking if you have tickets. If you see them just say you already have tickets and continue to the official parking lot for the park. I do recommend purchasing your tickets online as you'll only pay $18 per adult. We got roped into doing a semi private tour and ended up paying an extra $40 per person. The benefits of having a guide is they seem to know where the animals are. We would have missed most of them without him. He also has a high power telescope so we could see the animals close up. I got some pretty incredible up close photos thanks to his scope. We saw a chameleon, iguanas, a snake, 2 sloths, crabs, frog eggs, bats, and monkeys. The guide showed us the two beaches most people enjoy. The first beach or beach #3 was so beautiful. The surf did seem a little rough to get in and out of but once you were in it seemed to just let you float. The other beach was much rougher. No one was in that one. They have showers in many areas post beach swim. They also had fresh water fountains throughout to fill your own bottles. They do not allow plastic disposable water bottles at the park or food inside. There was a small cafe where you could buy lunch. I would recommend anyone come to this park just be careful of the scams on the way to the park.
