Checked in around noon on Friday 5/10...Room was fine. Spent the day on the beach. When we got back to our room, the bathroom was completely flooded with water from the toilet.We went down to the front desk to request another room. They refused to give us another room, although they had rooms available that were reserved but guests had... More

It wasn't, what I call, fancy. The hotel's decor, needed a little, renovating, yet cozy--with perks. The best part, of the Playa Bonita, is it's location! You literally walk from your hotel room, onto the sandy beach. There is horse back riding for the kids--located on the right on the beach. There are,also, different water sports offered--located around the hotel's... More

Weather was great the first day, then it was cooler and windy the rest of the week. We still had fun. Our friends were at a condo and other friends were at the campground right next to us. Eat and drink and laugh. Great time. We will go back again.

Ok...so I see all these people bashing this hotel. I've been staying here every year for about ten years now. The truth is...it's a cheap hotel. I've traveled all over the world, and the truth is you get what you pay for. For the price you get a BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean and a great beach, that's what you're... More

I didn't book a room at this hotel, as it is too far from the Malecon, where all of the great bars and restaurants are in Penasco. However, I did eat a fabulous dinner there. Started off with happy hour on the outside patio overlooking the Sea of Cortez, then inside for dinner and more tequila. Dinner was outstanding..... a... More

Don't ever make reservations, you won't get your money back if you have to cancel. We made reservations for the following year because we wanted the beach front space which is hard to come by. We made the reservation on Nov 2011 for Nov 2012. Unfortunately, we had to cancel this reservation. I cancelled the reservation for 16 Nov 2012... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Playa Bonita in Puerto Penasco. The hotel is pleasingly attractive, very clean, the staff competent and friendly. The hotel is right on the beach, as close to the beach as any hotel in Puerto Penasco, and all the rooms have balconies facing the sea. There are two fairly small but beautiful pools, a large...

Playa Bonita was very clean. Guys at the front desk very friendly. However, the girl seemed more interested in hanging out with her friends. No wash cloths & only 2 towels in the room even though there were 3 of us. Was right on the beach, even though it says not beach front. 2 pools but too cold to even... More

Where do I start? I made reservations for a double,(1 room 2 beds) something simple since we would spend most of our time at the beach. Fair pricing I thought when I booked online. Wow was I wrong? It always happens. Family finds out you're going on vacation and you get tag-alongs. On their site its says $8.00 a person... More

Hotel is right on the beach. There is a nice restaurant adjacent to the hotel with live music in the late afternoon. The hotel staff if friendly and helpful. We liked our stay and will probably return again.
