This is either our 5th or 6th time to stay at this hotel. The Mexican buffet breakfast is absolutely wonderful. Right they are running specials, and we got one of the rooms with balconies on two sides, small kitchen, 4 free beers a day, free sodas, and free drinking water. I only wish that we could go back tomorrow. Go... More

Because of the drug violence in Mexico, my wife and I no longer feel safe travelling in Mexico. It is a shame because over the years we had made friendships with hotel... More

Returned to the Playa for the 4th time and it was again - perfect. We went in a less busy time in April and were still pampered from head to toe. Traveling with a family raging from a 5 year old to an 85 year old was no problem (their nap times were in sync). The 5 spotless pools offered... More

Stayed here for 3 nights over a weekend in one of their newly remodeled beach front rooms. Room was a nice size and stocked with great amenities (sodas and beer) in the bar. The bathroom was a bit of a let down (shower smelled and vent was fairly week), but it worked for washing off the sand. The food here... More
