Great beach club with good service and reasonable prices sitting beachside with your private palapa! This place is also known as Green Chairs. Try the Tex Mex bowl or Panko breaded chicken strips. Also the cucumber margarita with Jalapeño is wonderful.

Getting Around
Uber - Centro de Activación

Instead of using Uber try downloading the InDriver app. It uses the same type of platform but drivers bid for your ride making it about 50% less than Uber sometimes. The only negative is you have to pay cash and no credit. The cars are similar to Uber and same customer service.

Alternative to Uber is InDrive app. Cash only
Instead of Uber try InDrive. Download the app and it works similar to Uber except drivers bid on giving you a ride. Sometimes can be 50% less than Uber and much quicker. Still good quality cars and good customer service the only difference is you have to pay cash.
