We had a view of the ocean, it was great! The room was average, not fancy at all and the bathrooms needed to be updated. We thought a $100 for an ocean view was not bad at all and the resturant was fun. We would go down every night and watch the live music and listen to the ocean. The... more

My husband and I went to PR on our honeymoon in June. For the first six days we stayed in Northwestern PR, trusted TriAdvisor, and had the most romantic time imaginable. For the last three days we went to San Juan and followed Fodor's advice - big mistake! We stayed at Hotel La Playa and were horrified. We were placed... more

Management response from
La_Playa_Manager, Owner/Manager

This room has been completely rebuilt since this review was posted and there is a completely new bathroom, bed, flat-panel TV, furniture and fixtures. This has become one of our most requested rooms - since it provides easy access and a semi-private patio area. We're sorry that this guest had a bad experience under the former owners - but can...

I stayed there 03-28-07 till 04-01-07. The place is horrible. They lock you in if you are staying on the second floor at night. No hot water, the place is not dirty but filthy, the continental breakfast is sliced bread and boxed cereal (muffins are $1.00). People hangout in front of the Hotel that are unsavory. There are five parking... more

We arrived at Hotel La Playa at about two a.m., without our luggage (which had been lost by the airline.) The man who was working that night was extremely unfriendly and acted annoyed that we would bother him to check in to his hotel. As for the room... it was a good size and had one whole wall of windows... more

The hotel is somewhat run-down, though in a decent location. Unfortunately the room we had was quite dirty -- dirt on the floor, trash under or by the bed, somebody else's toiletries left in the bathroom. It was a bit noisy. The good side: convenient to the airport. Not terribly convenient to Old San Juan or the main tourist section... more

I stayed at La Playa with my best friend for six nights. I had heard about the hotel from a friend of mine who went to PR but did not stay there. Anyways, we gave it a shot relying only on advice and the information on tripadvisor. Its location is fantastic,right on the water. We spent most of the time... more

First time to PR, definitely not our last. We are a young married couple, managiing our finances, on a strict budget, from Orange County, Calif. We flew to PR to catch a cruise, and got there three days early to visit PR. I booked directly with La Playa. They got us one of their ocean front rooms at a very... more

My best friend & I stayed at Hotel La Playa for 5 days during the beginning of December for a relaxing, beach vacay. We had hot water the entire time, our room was CLEAN, our beds were CLEAN & the staff was friendly. One of the housekeepers even provided some large, CLEAN beach towels for us from the linen closet... more

If you are expecting this 'budget hotel' to be of the American standards of a Comfort Inn or Days Inn, then you will be very disappointed by Hotel La Playa! The pictures on the Hotel La Playa website are deceiving. In reality, my room was not particularly modern or clean, had a thin mattress that was sub-par for hotel standards,... more
