In Carilo you will find less people than in Pinamar or Villa Gesel. No special rules. Carilo is a beautiful place. Sand streets, dunes, forest of trees (pinos), and very nice and expensive weekend homes. A lot of apart hotel, but reservation needed if you go in summer. There is also a very good golf course.
Only disadvantage is that the town has no nightlife. For this and to see beautiful womens you must go to Pinamar or Villa Gesell.
