You are correct Louise. We spent the day at La Playa, and it wasn't overly crowded at all. We also walked the length of the beach, and didn't find any area to be especially overcrowded. The most congested area was between Pedros and Kon Tiki, where the chairs are set up pretty much touching each other.
Back to the original question, as much as Kakao has always been our favorite spot on Orient, we now have a new favorite, and it's La Playa. Bruno just knows how to do things right.
