La Playita is a charming old hotel right on the water. The staff are warm, helpful, and make you feel welcome. Our.room was large and comfortable, looking directly over the water. The central courtyard is full of beautiful plants and has its own coquí. Would definitely recommend.

We loved staying at the playita. Great quiet place very clean and close to a lot of restaurants and 2 steps down to the beach. The cafecito in the morning was my favorite thing every morning. We love chatting with Mary and playing with coco and arena, the 2 dogs in the hotel. We will be back!
