9/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)
I loved this hotel! The room was beautiful! The pictures don’t do it justice. It felt so homey, yet out of my league at the same time.😉 It was walking distance to several yummy restaurants. I stayed at this hotel alone for a few days and felt very safe at the hotel and walking to the restaurants and shops nearby, which are literally within a 5 minute walk. I spotted dolphins yesterday while eating lunch at one of the restaurants, another huge bonus to the area! The pool and hot tub were great and had lots of pretty plants and trees with seats thru-out for shade. The price is right, it was perfect for me, 10 out of 10, I’m going again.😎

9/10 Wonderful! (1,004 reviews)
The resort is under construction and what would have been a beautiful, peaceful beach experience was marred by the noise. Unsettling and disturbing would describe the feeling of laying out in lounge chairs at the beach. When I went to rent a paddle board I was told that the beach rental company, located on the beach at LaPlaya, had lost their contract with LaPlaya consequently they were not allowed to rent equipment to hotel customers. Although the hotel has a restaurant there is no dinning or shopping choices within walking distance. A car is a must. There are lots of choices off highway 41, several miles from the hotel. It wasn’t clear when I booked the hotel that a “Bay View” was not in the main building and was located across the street. Despite umbrellas being readily available, if it’s pouring rain, which it often does, you will get wet crossing the street. The hotel room was very quiet. It might have something to do with being located across the street from the construction. The bell service and housekeeping were exceptional. My room was impeccably cleaned each of the 6 days I spent at LaPlaya. There are 4 pools at the hotel. It would have been nice if at least one of them were adult only, screaming, crying children are not my thing. Our balcony was a shared public space. The hotel only offers valet parking at $44 dollars plus tax per day. I believe once the construction is completed the LaPlaya would be a more satisfying vacation.
