The Backyard

Frommer's Review

This perennially popular bar and restaurant also has some of the most modern and comfortable rooms in Playa Hermosa, although they're overpriced for what you get. The two-story building features spacious rooms with dark red terra-cotta tile floors and simple furnishings. The second-floor rooms are definitely nicer than those on the ground floor. The oceanfront end units are classified as suites. They are a bit bigger and do have excellent ocean views. The small pool features a little sculpted-rock waterfall and is quite refreshing on the hot days here. Despite the more elaborate facilities and amenities, this place is still quintessentially a surfer joint, and the main reason to stay here is that this hotel sits directly in front of the principal peaks on Playa Hermosa.
