It was absolutely amazing 👏 well worth the price for us. We were given a salt rock crystal from our guide to bring home to our family, he also to us to meet the residents flamingos in thier preserve. This isn't offered to everyone as people have taken to throwing stuff at the flamingos just to take photos with them, " horrible humans 😢 " let nature be and do its thing stop trying to be the center of attention for your socials... For those who just want the adventure and learning 10 🌟

Waste of time. Cost: £15 per person entry. They said 45 minute walk but was only 15 mins. They take you to a certain check point so if you walk normal pace without taking a million photos you get to the end pretty quick. Not worth the money or the time. Don't bother. Pretty underwhelming, you can't go into the lake. My wife doesn't speak Spanish and unfortunately the tour guides don't speak English properly. Even if you pay more for the bilingual tour guide they will not give you much information.

We actually didn’t want to pay 25 euros for each just to get into biospheric with pink lake, because if you just take a road to el Cuyo you will get all flamingos and lakes for free!

It looked beautiful but we didn't get to go in because it was raining and windy and we needed to pay a guide in order to do that but the weather just was so awful that we just took some pictures and left and went into town. But I definitely would like to go back on a nice day and check it out.

The beach is polluted with plastics and sea weed. The water is a nice color, though. The village is hurting, even though there is a large industrial complex (salt mining) right there. The tourism business is focused on giving tours of the pink salt pools, which seems to be going strong with a relatively new reception building and viewing tower. I think they should spend more money to clean up the beach and town. I didn't do the pink salt pool tour because I don't think it is worth the money to see an industrial complex. Also, the pink color isn't as vibrant as you see in photos unless the sun is shining down at the right time of day. I wished I had spent the time at Rio Lagartos instead.
