Puerto Villamil is a very small, quaint little town with dirt roads, a handful of restaurants and shops, and wonderfully friendly locals. If you want a relaxing and peaceful vacation, this is the perfect little town. Would come back in a heartbeat.

It's a very small, easily walkable town. The beautiful beach is lined with scenic coconut trees. Next to the harbor is Concha de Perla, a shallow area good for snorkeling. A 1.5 km trail passes by flamingos and leads to a tortoise breeding center.
