“ Barcelo or Las Briasas? ”
03 January 2012, 11:22
We are looking at a trip at the end of January. I know lots has been written on both places, and they both seem to be nice, but looking for some feedback.
What we are interested in is the beach and access.
I understand you can be at distance away from the beach at L/B, is the Barcelo beach access closer?
Also, at the Barcelo, there seems to be waves, can you body surf?
Last question, at both places can you run on the beach?
Thxs!!

Th Barcelo beach s much longer and great for walking, slight slant in spots, but depends on the water.....its , close to dreams and other properties.....Las Brisas, has nice beach, but more cove like, and private, not as big of a stretch, from, what i remember...... we did some body surfing , on the Barecelo beach, when the waves are good....
Another gorgeous, beach, is where Secrets resort is......

From what I saw the La Briasas had lots of stairs down to the water. The Barcelo had no way near that kind of stairs. Actually when we stayed @ the Barcelo we just walked out of our room and down a short corridor & out on the beach we had no stairs @ all. We body surfed there.
