Excellent location
Pros:

Beautiful room with a gorgeous view over the bay. Delicious breakfast and the food and service at the restaurant was excellent. A great location, they gave us earplugs for the noise but we didn’t use them. Lots of kind and thoughtful touches.

Amazing place - you have to go!
Pros:

A fabulous place to stay. Staff great, the hotel was beautiful and the food and drink superb. Located right on the beach with lovely sun beds. Wish I lived there!

Cons:

Just be aware that there is noise - well managed in the hotel but surfing gets going early - sea full by 7am. Not a problem for us - in fact part of the charm.

Großartiger Beachclub mit sehr komfortablen Zimmern.
Pros:

Direkt am Strand. Kleiner Boutique Hotel Beach Club. Sehr stylisch, großartiger Service, sehr gutes Essen (die pumpkin Pizza ist ein Traum), cooler beachclub, gute Musik und die beste surfschool direkt davor.

Pros:

Great rooms (only 3) with spectacular views. Busy during the day with busy vibe as people settle in for the day on the sun lounges. Staff fantastic and look after in-house guests giving priority on lounges. Food & cocktails were excellent. Was super happy with our stay!

Beautiful and fun boutique hotel in heart of Hiriketiya
Pros:

Wonderful stay at La Playa in Hiriketiya. Staff are so attentive and dedicated to providing a wonderful experience for guests. Room is a quiet, cool escape from the bustle of the beach club. Food and drinks are absolutely delicious. We loved sitting at the upstairs bar overlooking the beach for lunch and evening drinks. We will be recommending to anyone looking to stay in the heart of Hiriketiya.

Cons:

Nothing!

Room is great a 9/10, Service is poor a 1/10, beach club is medium 5/10
Pros:

Super stylisch and clean room with nice balcony over the beach club and view over the bay/surfers

Cons:

Service basically doesn’t exists:
- you book yourself into a beach club and then they don’t have a reserved sunbed for you (we had to go somewhere else as all sunbeds were occupied on 1st day)
- indeed don’t hav any hotel facilities: no reception, no storage room, you need to ask one of the waiters for any question
- most unfriendly and unsupportive welcome of our 19 days itinerary
- beach club is okay but very packed and limited views, the bay has 3-4 beach clubs to choose from

Despite is really fantastic room I wouldn’t recommend to stay here. You have zero advantage of being an overnight guests. Next time I would stay in an accomodation with more service and friendliness and come here (or any other beach club) as a day guest

A beautiful small hotel with a stunning sea view. The room was spotlessly clean, the staff so lovely and the food was amazing. We woke up every morning to sit on our balcony watching the surfers start their day. Wd were very sad to leave.

Cons:

There is absolutely nothing to dislike.

Cool, aber viel zu Laut!
Pros:

Sehr stylisch eingerichtetes Zimmer, super Lage direkt am Strand, tolles Frühstück, nettes Personal.

Cons:

Es war die ganze Nacht SEHR LAUT. Abends Live Konzerte in der Bar nebenan, Rave Party am Strand mit Techno Musik bis 2 Uhr morgens, dann Kämpfe zwischen Strassenhunden und ab 7 Uhr morgens wieder Musik. Ich habe 3 Nächte lang kaum geschlafen.
