Our experience was substantially diminished due to the power outage that occurred during the majority of our stay due to the severe storms. I know it was not the fault of the hotel but I would have expected an offer to discount our stay due to the inconvenience. Also the TV never worked and I was put on hold for a long time and finally hung up without resolution. On a positive note, Michael the person who greeted us on arrival, made our dinner reservations and drove us and returned us to the hotel is a La Playa treasure!!!

Great place
We paid top price for this hotel, over $900 dollars per night, then at checkout they hit us with another $60 per night for so called amenities for breakfast, and parking when it street parking. Unbelievable! We have stayed here numerous times and never charged an additional $60 per night. We will never stay here again.
