If you want a small boutique type of property, you will like this hotel. The reason I did not give it all greats was that this property is very old. No elevator, so if you are on the 4th floor that means lugging your suitcase up those stairs. There is no air conditioning either. The one bedroom queen rooms are the size of a postage stamp. I DO NOT recommend booking one of those rooms. They are tiny. If you are a bigger person, be forewarned the toilets are placed right against the wall. The location of being close to the beach is superb. Like I said, the location is fantastic, however, the hotel rooms are a bit dated. Breakfast is superb!!! All in all the hotel was a fun place to stay.

This was our worst hotel experience of all time. We checked in for a reservation that we made over 2 months ago to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. Upon check in we were told we had the room that was literally PART of the lobby. It was a dungeon, a basement room with bars on the windows and damp and musty. It must have been a renovated janitorial closet. We were shocked to say the least that they were selling this room at all, and for $900 per night? False advertising to say the least. They had no response to our complaints except to say they were sold out, with 3 wedding parties. There was no bellman at checkin to help with luggage and street parking only. At 5:00 on a busy Friday evening, we were told there was no manager on site to speak to. Really? Buyer beware. Do NOT go to La Playa.
