What area to stay in?

Hello, ill be visiting for the first time in July for 3 nights and want to know whats the best area to stay in. My significant other and I are in our mid 20s & we are torn between staying near Playa Carrizalillo or near La Punta Zicatela.

What interests me from the Playa Carrizalillo area are the beautiful beaches. What interests me from La Punta area are all the restaurants and nightlife nearby. However, ill be there from Monday and leaving Thursday so im not sure if ill get any night life. Is it worth staying in La Punta or is it too far away from Playa Carrizalillo, Playa Coral, Bacocho.

Please let me know whats the best area to stay in for the first time! Thank you.
