Hotel Playa Larga Review

The entire complex here feels rather depressing, despite ongoing efforts to spruce things up. The problem, as far as I'm concerned, is the inherently desultory Soviet-era architecture. Some of the rooms are quite cramped, with worn, soft beds and noisy air-conditioning units. Other rooms are more spacious, although precious few have queen-size beds (most just have two full beds).The small patch of beach here is acceptable, but it doesn't compare to other premier beaches. This place is best for serious divers and bird-watchers, and even they would probably do better at the Hotel Playa Girón.

Facilities:
Restaurant; snack bar; 3 bars; outdoor pool; 2 outdoor tennis courts; limited watersports equipment rental; moped rental; game room; tour desk; car-rental desk; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
