I am a travel advisor and booked this hotel for my family to celebrate a birthday. This hotel is a five star price with a two star experience at most. First, the entire hotel is in renovation and nowhere is that communicated or listed to their guests. How misleading! Second, we chose an ocean view room only to be placed across the street in a 6 story building that smelled awful and was next to a parking garage with a loud noise. Third, at the price you pay you expect to have decent amenities. They charge you for everything - including the bikes! I am a world traveler and have never seen a hotel charge for bikes! There is no gym, their pool is only a bit bigger than a bathtub. Again for what they charge, they should offer a five star experience. What a rip off and how disappointing. Will never go back or recommend this hotel to clients. The only good thing is the restaurant that even though pricey, was worth it. Read less

The people handling the beach were always fast and friendly. We loved the tiki bar and food. My husband bought some nice things at the gift shop and Pamela was so wonderful. The quality of the merchandise in the shop was top notch! She is a very sweet lady so make sure you visit her when you are there. We had a great week at the hotel and will definitely be going back.

My clients hosted their wedding celebration this past weekend at La Playa and in every department we had a fantastic experience. On the planning end, Jane Heffelfinger in catering sales was so great to work with throughout the process. Once our team arrived onsite, we were immediately assisted by Michael, Cornell & Alexander on the front drive and they were there all weekend to help with anything we needed, from bringing bags up to getting our car quickly. For the wedding, the banquet team Diego, Yessica & Renny ensured my couple had the most perfect wedding day. I absolutely recommend LaPlaya to host wedding and events and I look forward to working there again in the future! Read less
