TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

-The vast majority of people at the resort when I was there were families with kids. Tons and tons of kids. While that creates a lively atmosphere, I don't think Hotel Playa may be the best choice for solo travelers and others looking for a peaceful escape. -My room had a 180 degree panoramic view of the ocean that was amazing and I enjoyed the sunset from my balcony every night. But the beach (one floor below) is a public beach. Tons of locals each day, hanging out on the beach and in the water. Vendors, banana boats, parasails. And music. Lots and lots of live music. Mostly brass bands with tubas and trumpets and drums. Full blast for hours at a time. So again, a very lively and vibrant atmosphere, but probably not where you would go to find some down time. -The complex is large and the rooms are huge, and mostly clean, but older and in need of renovations. Primarily the bathrooms. It would also be helpful to place a small discreet sign in the bathroom advising guests not to flush TP down the toilet, if you get my drift. -Some of the food was really yummy. Breakfasts were the best meal of the day. Lots of choices and the chilaquiles were amazing. The snackbar by the main pool had awesome burgers and hotdogs. But after the first 2 dinners on site, I ate at local restaurants. Nice to have lots that are walkable. -Bottom line I liked the hotel's location, beautiful views, and amazing staff. It was an OK stay.

Food is not great! bring shampoo pictures are not the same as when you get here, And we had no explanation of how to use the e resort super frustrating .

Horrible experience we were at the beach and they kicked us out of the cafeteria for being “wet”. The food was terrible for those of us who were able to stay. DONT COME HERE
