We plan to go to Palominos or Icacos on our fist night which just happens to be a Saturday night. Any thoughts on which would be better? What about crowds since it is a Saturday night?

It was absolutely untenable when we stopped there on a Saturday afternoon (heavy swell), and mobbed with small pleasure craft and at least 3 party catamarans. Palomino looked desolate in comparison.
