10/10 Exceptional

Staying at La Playa was a luxury vacation without being over the top (simple elegance). Everything has been very well thought out - towel service, walkability to village for dinner/market, loungers at the beach, beautiful pool space, kitchenette in the room, breakfast by the beach, and the concierge team was helpful with every question we had. We had a wonderful vacation there.

Matthew, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Breakfast was buffet and nice, but same everyday. So we did venture out after four mornings with the same thing. The little village had some great restaurants for dinner. Was nice not to have to pay for the beach chairs. Room was beautiful. There is a little grocery store around the corner as well. We rented a car to visit the attractions since this is a little secluded.
