This is the closest beach to the house -- merely walk down to the main road, cross over and head south (left from the villas) down the street.

The resort typically welcomes visitors to dine at their poolside restaurant and bar, so check it out!

This beach is the closest beach you see when you are standing on the pool terrace looking north towards the old town.

Ok - the picture uploaded by AirBnb is strange -- ignore it and enjoy this great beach. You can get to Mismaloya by driving about 5 - 7 minutes south down the main coastal road in front of the villas (head left down the road out of the villas) and when you get to the Barcelo Resort - take the road that runs alongside the southern wall of the resort, and park and walk past the rustic shops and restaurants to the beach. You will find lots of cute beach side restaurants to serve you food and a fun beach to spend an afternoon. This beach is a good place to negotiate for a panga (fishing boat) to take you to Los Animas or Yelapa - with snorkeling on the way! Bring cash and be ready to negotiate a bit and a wonderful day will be in store.
