The staff and hotel is Ahhhmazing. They just developed a restaurant and the food and drinks are good. I didn’t like the restaurant too much b/c they told me that I couldn’t bring outside food to the Lounge when they are in operation but the lounge is where the view is and I’m a hotel guest so I’m not going to eat in my room when I paid for the view… other than that everything was great.

We booked the place very last minute and was very pleased with our stay. We were only there for one night and didn’t have the time to enjoy any of the amenities, but the view out the back patio was lovely. The place was clean, well kept, and check in was a breeze! I wouldn’t recommend planning to park, and it was a little challenging to get in and out of the place with a large SUV but we would definitely book again.

Firstly, there's no reception, no signage, clearly marked area other then the restaurant which is only open on weekends. After waiting nearly 15 mins and about to leave, I saw someone walking who came out to greet. She was very pleasant. I did not stay there for several reasons. The advertised refrigerator is only mini fridge, I needed to keep something frozen, the upstairs room I was placed in has stale cigarette smell and the downstairs I moved to triggered my mold allergies. They were ok with me leaving because I needed freezing space. I was unable to cancel or fer any refunds but I found a place better. Things to note: this is not a place to stay if you have mold and pet allergies or sensitive to aesthetics; the building sits by the ocean and about 90% repaired post 2017 hurricane. The employee has dogs.

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.
