We absolutely loved our stay at La Playa and will be back for sure! Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean was dreamy. The extra amenities and welcoming staff take this already beautiful property to the next level. This trip was in celebration of our 10 yr anniversary and we had a chilled bottle of champagne and a card waiting in our room upon our arrival. It's small touches like this that make a lasting impression! Cant wait to come back

We had such a wonderful stay here, we will definitely be back! They had afternoon sangria, live music on Sunday, evening homemade cookies, and the breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I have seen in a long time. The staff were all fantastic and so helpful, they even upgraded us to an ocean view room simply because it was available. I can’t recommend enough! And the beach is a short walk away, as is the center of town. We walked everywhere!
