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. Great place to stay. We book there every year.

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.

The hotel was lovely and the staff were super accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed our vacation and the breakfast being included was really nice. The beach is gorgeous and the hotel is just a few steps away from the ocean. We ate lunch at the restaurant every day, the service was excellent and the staff were always super friendly. The food is great (I’d recommend the sushi or the chicken sandwich) Lots of beautiful dinner options right by the hotel. I cannot recommend La playa enough!
