A great place to stay if you want to relax somewhere elegant and quiet but have the option to also visit the busy area o
Pros:

Great location on the beach in a quiet area but only a few blocks from the hustle and bustle of Playa. My room was very comfortable and beautiful.

Cons:

While it’s on the water, there is no sand/beach there to walk or relax on. You would need to walk further up to access the beach. The pool was nice but quite small and there were only six sun beds.

Un havre de bonheur !
Pros:

C'est la 2eme fois que nous venons à Playa et que nous séjournons dans cet apart hotel. Autant vous dire que c'est une valeur sûre. La gentillesse du personnel, la propreté des lieux, l'emplacement central mais au calme, que de bons souvenirs. Vous pouvez tout faire à pied. Le logement que nous occupions etait top, de quoi faire à manger avec le nécessaire, de quoi laver notre linge. Le logement etait entretenu régulièrement. Le personnel est juste adorable, toujours un sourire ou petit mot gentil pour s'assurer que tout se passe bien durant votre séjour. Nous étions côté océan donc la partie la plus calme. Dommage que leur plage ait été abîmée et ne soit plus accessible mais ils n'y peuvent rien cela est du aux intempéries et ouragans qu'ils ont subi. Donc en effet si vous voulez la plage il vous faudra vous déplacer un peu plus loin. Mis à part cela je vous assure que vous passerez un très agréable séjour dans leur locaux!

Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.
Pros:

We had a great stay! The hotel was very comfortable and in an excellent location. The parking was convenient and well organized, and the service was excellent throughout our stay. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and we would definitely recommend this hotel!

Cons:

The only downside was that a few things, such as the coffee machine and the grill, did not work properly. The staff came promptly to try to help, although the issue was not always resolved.

Pros:

La piscina del jardín es muy agradable . Las habitaciones son muy grandes y los baños muy bien. Muy limpio

Cons:

En mi habitación había un ruido como de un generador muy molesto de manera continuada. No creo que pase en todas las habitaciones, pero si te toca, es bastante desagradable
