The things we most like about La Playa are the staff, the director access to the beach with chairs and umbrella provided, a great breakfast provided free of charge every morning including eggs, bacon, bread, fresh fruit, fruit juices, and coffee, and the room.

Don't hesitate to get your reservation in place because you'll have a great time at La Playa. The location is amazing, with the beach being just steps away from comfortable accommodations. The staff is friendly, the bar at the beach was outstanding, and the morning breakfasts were a great way to start our days.
