Literally, one of the most beautiful properties ever not to mention the overwhelming professional staff. Everyone made us feel welcome and right at home couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay to celebrate my husband‘s birthday.

We stayed here for two nights for a little weekend getaway and oh my god it was amazing!! My boyfriend and I loved the wine and sangria we were greeted with when we checked in, we loved the aesthetic and how cute and beautiful our room was. The cookies they had at night were really good as well. There’s so many lounge areas to just grab a book, drink, laptop and relax. The staff were so attentive and really friendly. The breakfast was so good and had so much to choose from. It was anything from the omelette and waffle station to chia seed pudding, avocado or salmon toast, eggs and bacon burritos, and so much more. It was a walk away from the beach and the small shops. The hotel is an experience itself and I can’t wait to come back again.

This was the most magical hotel experience I've ever had. We had an ocean view room and arrived just in time for sunset. Just gorgeous. The design of the room was excellent (the custom bar/wardrobe was beautiful), the staff very helpful, and the complimentary champagne breakfast was out of this world. Best hotel breakfast I've ever seen. We will probably make a stay at La Playa an annual tradition after having such a wonderful experience.

We requested a room with handicap amenities for my mom that is disabled. I was informed that they were full to capacity. We were assigned a room at the back of the hotel (102) and the front desk pretended that a person with a walker could take more than eleven deep steps. No compassion from the front desk staff. Luckily the bell person ( helping with the luggage) had some sense and took us to the back of the hotel. I think his names is James. Event lets us borrow a wheelchair. Staff at the bar/restaurant super helpful.Housekeeping staff excellent. Front desk more than one staff need new training. At least a smile once in a while . The driest staff ever. Beautiful landscaping good location. The parking need handicap spaces.

Service par excellence

Our second annual stay for my birthday after Thanksgiving madness. The hotel staff is so well trained & efficient at their jobs. We felt pampered & spoiled. Love the spot on styled interior spaces, the amazing brunch spread & the welcome vino & Ghirardelli chocolate chip cookies. The shuttle service to restaurants completes the service. We love it & will be back! Thank you!
