Vacations Close To La Playita Beach

Playa muy buena

.

The room was clean, the staff was nice and the food was good. Our second night there, the smoke detector went off in the middle of the night multiple times. There were also quite a few brief power outages. There was a definite language barrier with only a few employees other than the front desk knowing English.

El hotel tiene una vista impresionante y excelente atención al cliente

The staff had the most amazing service I’ve ever had. The food was average could be better and I wish they did later drinks and food.

If your objective is to swim in the ocean please know that would be impossible due to high waves, every day all day long. The beach has nice sand, no rocks however there are vendors who sell things and they are constantly asking you to buy something. Facilities need an upgrade; lobby is nice and rooms are clean but bathrooms by the pool need to be fixed. There is carpeted area by the pool which did not look sanitary. The food quality was not good. Young people who were entertainment were full of energy and they were trying very hard however the resort is small and the music was just too loud to be able to relax if you are not participating in activities. On the last day , out AC went out and we wanted to call the lobby just to realize that the phone in the room is not working. So we went to the lobby to report the AC not working but they never came to fix it. It is a cute resort but too bad they are not providing quality stay.

At check in I made the mistake of pulling out cash and from that point on I was marked…staff were begging me for tips…in a verbal way or body language way…when I gave the bell boy $5 for two small bags… he looked disappointed (at check I gave hime $10)…. had a swim-up room …I saw the drink butler once. They staff cater to international people n only to people who tip them on a regular like every meal…every drink…I forgot why I haven’t been back…. I remember now! I only came to Puerta Plata Sosua because my great neice had her first bday party! The property is in the middle of the ghetto but the beach was beautiful looking and the waves were rough. Food is mediocre. You won’t get a hit shower there… in the stores, they double the price once they find out you’re American. I baseball cap becomes $20 n they don’t want to give a receipt b/c they are pocketing 1/2 the money:)…mosquitoes…bring peppermint of OFF …here’s two great ideas LEARN SPANISH n learn how to convert pesos to USD. I give the restaurants a 3…service 3.5 cleanliness..4 …friendliness 3.5…I would try CURIO it’s classier.
