Things to Do  

souvenir shops

souvenir shops, Boca Chica

 hulahula46 Says:  Cheap and memorable items are found along boca chica beach. You can haggle too. I turned a 150 peso painting into a 90 peso deal. It's fun to haggle and most will allow it. If you come across an art/painting shop check if its done by 3 haitian guys, one named Evan. These... 

banana boat

banana boat, Boca Chica

 hulahula46 Says:  Just do it. It's a lot of fun but the waves were semi harsh when we tried it and we were knocked off a few times. But it was fun because we had life jackets and the water is so warm and clear. Other members of our group tried it later and didn't run into any problems... 

Beach

Beach, Boca Chica

 alfredop Says:  The biggest attraction in Boca Chica is the beach. That’s why each hotel offers an array of water sports and beach activities to keep you occupied. You won’t find much high culture here – there are no theaters, galleries or movie houses. Fortunately, the big hotels have...

OASIS HAMACA: Upgraded Resort

OASIS HAMACA: Upgraded Resort, Boca Chica

 BocaCharlieChica Says:  What can I say about Miss Coral? I will begin by clearly stating, THIS IS NOT A HILTON HOTEL! The resort was purchased by a company in/from Spain. The upgrades to the Hamaca (since the purchase) are awesome/amazing. Miss Coral has been upgraded. 11/14/08 was my 13th stay at...

Hamaca Coral by Hilton - All Inclusive: Bargaining, Boca Chica

 nena2997 Says:  We stayed at the Coral Hamaca for 5 days in April. The hotel is beautiful. The food and drinks are good and we felt very safe around the hotel. There is not a lot to do in Boca Chica, but make sure you hit the markets for some unique gifts. There are usually vendors that set...

Hamaca Coral by Hilton: not what you're hoping for...., Boca Chica

 rnormfoto Says:  I suppose your expectations of a hotel in the Caribbean have to be different than one on the states. I stayed at the Coral recently with a group of 6 people – and here’s the real lowdown….The rooms are ‘ok’…not great but not totally horrible. They are a tad dingy and look no... 

Hamaca Coral by Hilton: great time

Hamaca Coral by Hilton: great time, Boca Chica

 hydg Says:  I thought it was a great hotel. I Think the above writer must learn how to spell before writing. Beside who would take an opinion from what that person wrote? I could barely understand. Very embarrasing. 

Magic Tropical Hotel: Budget Hotel

Magic Tropical Hotel: Budget Hotel, Boca Chica

 GypsyMan Says:  This is a good budget hotel for someone looking to relax for a few days. The rooms dont have airconditioner but the island breeze is plentiful. The pool is quite inviting. There is a small dining shack good for breakfast. It is close to the beach district and the tourist...

Hamaca Coral by Hilton: Best Option, Boca Chica

Neptuno: Dont miss the sharks

Neptuno: Dont miss the sharks, Boca Chica

 MiguelPS2112 Says:  There are only Two high class restaurants in Boca Chica, and they are both next to the Hamaca Beach Resort. Neptuno Restaurant, is more expensive, and personally I didn’t like it as much as the other one, but the attraction is bigger because it has a pool done in the beach...

Nathalie's Sandwich Shop: Budget sandwich joint in Boca Chica, great people, Boca Chica

 MelliVanelli Says:  I've spent some time in Boca Chica and never really found it very satisfying for food. I had a pizza there recently that was almost inedible. Other places with passable cuisine are overpriced. I felt the value was really not there. I recently came across a little street...

Tourist Traps  

Vendors

Vendors, Boca Chica

 hulahula46 Says:  Vendors: They are everywhere along the beach. I'm sure you can get better priced items from the souvenir shops unless you like what they are selling or don't mind being swarmed. Just say no or no gracias and they leave...usually. 

Bargain
