Wonderful

Everything was great. The staff, location. Christian was awesome, helpful, and welcoming. Close to the ocean and to the little shops and cafes. Breakfast was filling and tasty. Next time I will be staying there again if it is possible.
The best location for Playa 88. Its restaurant, La 88 had various options, traditional and modern filling breakfasts. We had shrimp tacos and chicken fajitas for dinner, which they delivered them to our room. Delicious. Two air conditioning units kept the large room and kitchen cool off. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Beer and wine are not sold in the neighborhood marts but the hotel had them available at good price.
Like from personal meetings and greeting by the owner to very halpfull stuff and restaurant people. All in all great and very convenient hotel location.
Highly recommend 👌
I am nothing but good to say about this hotel. The staff is very friendly, the room is wonderful and it’s 5 min walk away from the ocean and a pleasant 10-15min walk away from all the bars and restaurants. The breakfast is great! Highly recommend!
Food at the restaurant is the best, freshly made to order.
Our stay included free breakfast.
Christian is very attentive and made our stay relaxing and enjoyable.
Free overnight parking with security guard.
The beach is located about three minutes walk.
At night, one can enjoy the rooftop.It has hammocks and calming atmosphere.
Only con, the restaurant area needs A/C or fans in the Summer heat.
We would highly recommend this place.
The property is certainly unique. It is big enough to offer all of the amenities of a hotel but small enough to feel like a home. The property is lovely, offers great service and has excellent security and is walking distance from the beach. Great for couples, families, and solo travelers.
It is walking distance from 5 Ave. which will give you a quiet space to sleep in. Showers are great and they offer cleaning service daily.
I accidentally left my prescribed glasses at the hotel and they kindly kept them safe until we communicated a way to get them back.
Christian is great at replying, and I will gladly stay here again.
This is an excellent little peaceful hotel near the best, in my opinion, beach in Playa. Large, clean, comfortable rooms. The staff is friendly and helpful, particularly the manager Christian. Hotel restaurant is very good, especially the breakfasts. I recommend this hotel very highly.
I WOULD 10/10 recommend especially Solo travelers who’s softer is a priority…I don’t know why I waited this long …. This hotel is managed by the most kind, friendly and adaptable staff and manager. They were able to answer any of my questions and was able to cater to any needs I had while on my stay! It felt like I was visiting a home away from home.. 10/10. Recommend also it’s literally 40secs away from the beach you can get any better than that!
I can see what they rated this place a 10!
The young owner is hands-on to resolve any challenges that you may have. THE STAFF especially the manager is an absolute GEM. You can always tell when someone has a good heart through her voice, her actions, and her loving-kindness. It is truly a special place to chill to relax or to work.
My room's view was exactly what the picture depicted. It is also conveniently located to the entrance to the entrance of a public beach.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will gladly stay here again. The bonus is that when you stayed here, they have a restaurant downstairs which includes your breakfast.
Also, even though it is a small place, the 4th floor does not have stairs, make sure you are fit to carry your luggage up!
I will offer a few suggestions to the owner of the accommodation:
- You need to get new pillows. These pillows have seen their prime.
- It would be nice to add a kettle so that we can boil some water in our room for those that do not have a kitchen.
Thanks,
Samy
The staff is incredible. Location is across the 5ta walkway from Playa 88 access. Room is airy and be ready for some stair climbing. The included breakfast is lip smacking delicious. I plan on staying here again.
