My flight got cancelled so I had to book something last minute. Called La Playita and asked if I could check in early and they were very accommodating. The woman that helped us was very nice. Check in was super easy and fast (we went straight to our room). Location was great- walking distance to everything. Would stay here again!

The hotel pictures that are on the website are pre hurricane i believe. There is no longer a patio off of the back, it has fallen off. There is very limited parking, 5 spots for 15 rooms and a whole restaurant. The rooms are also nothing like what is pictured. My room decor was a little wooden roof over a glass christmas tree with LEDs in it. Definitely not worth the 200 a night price tag when there are very. Nice hotels across the street for 105-160 a night. There is no vending, bathrooms were moldy. There was clearly floor teim installed previously that is gone. It just needs a little face lift and a lower price. It does feel like a nice small hotel but the drunk guests at the restaurant walking past our rooms were obnoxious.

Great view of the ocean from my room and the hotel patio. Beach right next to hotel. Clean. No breakfast. I wouldn't even call it continental. Good coffee but no juice, cereals or bagels as advertised. Biscotti, apples, bananas and tangerines available.

Not beach front, although the beach is very close. Minimal parking. Area feels unsafe. Not as advertised. Breakfast was only apples, bananas, and bread (like rolls you would buy in a bag from a supermarket). No real breakfast. People were very nice though. We left 4 days early and went somewhere else.

La Playita stay

Great location just between two beaches. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. They serve good basic breakfast with sandwiches, fruits and coffee. Bed was comfortable. Property could use some slight remodel, but given it is in the hurricane path, it is not most likely on the "to do" list. But I was happy with the stay.
