we were told about the restaurant attached to this hotel by friends, they said you can't go wrong. well, they were right. from the minute we sat down we were treated as friends, not guests. we had 2 coconut rum drinks, that are served in the coconut themselves. we had chicken mofongo for an appetizer... Outstanding. Also had the la... More

Perfect location - the breakfast patio is atop the sea, and the other side has a beach view - all a few minutes from the airport. But this isn't a chain-hotel experience in Cleveland. Take a taxi rather than tackling the confusing, narrow route yourself. The furnishings aren't cookie-cutter. There are coqui frogs in the courtyard and crabs skitter near... More

We stayed in this hotel because it was close to the airport. There was no parking except on the street. The room was small and our view was of an alley with junk thrown down it. The breakfast was processed cheese and some kind of 'meat'. There is nothing about this hotel to recommend! It's also very hard to find... More

We are close to the airport, but that should not be the reason to stay with us. We are sorry that the guests were disappointed with their stay, and would like to clarify other guests to all misunderstandings. Just some clearing up; we have parking available for six cars within the property and a thirty car parking lot across the... More

After cancelling 2 hotel reservations when i came across Hotel la Playa I knew my boyfriend and i would love it here. I made my reservations over the phone with Linda who was... More

Isla Verde is packed with the big hotel chains, but this adorable boutique hotel right on the water can't be beat. It has so much charming character. The rooms are clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is complimentary parking. Fall asleep to the sound of the coqui frogs. This hotel shares access to the same beach as The... More

My husband and two friends stayed here not really knowing what to expect as the reviews were mixed. But I had stayed in Puerto Rico before at the large Marriott resort and casino and wasn't impressed. We paid $140 a night here (which was by far the cheapest considering most places like the El San Juan and Ritz were close... More

I stayed at this hotel in mid January. I was there with my family and we had three rooms, so this gave us an overall feel for the hotel. First, the owner and his wife are very nice. I thought everyone that worked there went out of their way to be accommodating. The view is very pretty from the ocean... More

We stayed at La Playa for 5 days, pre cruise. it is a very small 12 room hotel, most rooms on 2nd floor, which for a start was difficult as I use a walker. The lower floor is completely open, with ocean breezes flowing through. the patio is directly on the water, one could dive in but for waves and... More
