Top Playaca Hotel Reviews

Bahía Taganga Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I personally liked it and will return. The kitchen staff was incredible. My room could have used some updating but due the the climate it was perfect for me. GREAT PLACE and will definately return"

Vito Hotel Boutique Taganga

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed four nights and loved our experience. The breakfast was a highlight (made-to-order with coffee, juice, fruit, and local specialties). The owners helped us navigate activities in the area. We really enjoyed our time in the hammock and views from the upper terrace. *If you stay, ask about buying some homemade fruit preserves."

La Ballena Azul Hotel

8/10 Good

"The ocean view was amazing and they got a D1 across the street and store nexts to the hotel and under it like restaurant. Had no complaints the AC was super cold and they did laundry for a few. Don’t take the boat to the beaches they charged 600,000 for 3 people been cheaper to get a uber at 8am and go there for half the price. They leave at like 11am and come back at 330pm been better off just taking a uber but the hotel also did help us that it was just my 1st time there now I know. The food is very cheap there too"

Hotel Abitti

10/10 Excellent
