Frommer's Review

This hotel -- a grouping of cabañas on one of the best beaches in Playa -- is hard to beat for sheer fun and leisure. And it's far enough from the center of town to be quiet. The older, south side of the hotel (the "Caribe" section) consists of one- and two-story cabañas. The north side ("Playa" section) has a few larger buildings, holding four to six rooms. A preference for one or the other section is a matter of taste; the units in both are similar in amenities, privacy, and price. All rooms have a patio or porch complete with hammock. Rooms come with two double beds or a king-size bed. Windows are screened, and ceiling fans circulate the breeze. The real difference in price depends on the proximity to the water -- oceanfront, oceanview, or garden-view. Garden-view is the best bargain, being only a few steps farther from the water. Book well in advance during high season.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; poolside grill; 3 bars; 2 outdoor pools; whirlpool; watersports equipment; dive shop; game room; tour desk; car rental; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service
