Had a short stay but this place was perfect! The beach is literally in front of the hotel, staff is the sweetest, check in and check out process was extremely easy, the room and hotel was extremely clean as well! you have so many food options walking distance too. Honestly I don’t think I ever took an uber to anything around me besides if you want to go to the other part of the island. Absolutely recommend!! And my favorite part of the stay was coco ❤️ 10/10 definitely plan to come back soon !

This place has a great view of the beach. The parking area isn't the best. If you can't parallel park well it will be difficult to park. Also alot of the excursions will not pickup from this location. But if you want to just enjoy the beach this location is perfect for you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Stay at La Playita Hotel! From the very moment I arrived, I knew this place was special. Alberto greeted me warmly with a beautiful magenta leaf to comfort me, knowing I was visiting my sick aunt—a small gesture that meant the world. The bed was super comfortable, the air conditioning was perfect, and the food at their restaurant was absolutely delicious. But the best of the best? The view! Oh my goodness—what a view! Just a one-minute walk and you’re on the most beautiful beach, right in front of the hotel. I loved the little details too—free water, excellent coffee, and the incredible peace of falling asleep to the sound of the waves. This is truly the best place for comfort, relaxation, and recharging your spirit. I will definitely be back!
