It was my birthday, my family wanted to spend a wonderful time without breaking the bank. I made my reservation based on some nice reviews about La Playita and a nice dog named Coco. La Playita is a very nice secluded hotel located right on the beach. upon our arrival, we were met by the owner Alberto who greeted us along with Coco and gave us a tour. I was happy with the surrounding and the reception upon our arrival. We stayed there for four nights, and we spent most our time out exploring Puerto Rico. The service was excellent, the staff was pleasant, my issues were with the room, since I was traveling with my family of three, I requested two beds instead of a king bed that I would normally reserve when I am traveling with just my wife. The beds were old and Very uncomfortable, they make noise at every twist and turn. I am 6.1, so my feet were hanging out. My first night was horrible, I barely slept, and to make things worse, there was a couple next door, making out throughout the night, being a light sleeper, I could not sleep at all. They were banging against the wall and very loud to a point that I was hoping that my daughter was still asleep, because I did want to answer any of her questions the next morning.
The pillows were uncomfortable as well, my wife and I woke up with neck pain. It was so bad we started looking for a new hotel for the remaining nights, but my wife convinced me to stay since we would not be refunded and was planning to spend most of our time out.
There was a roach in our room which we ended up killing. We didn't mention anything to the owner since he was so welcoming and nice, we made the best out of it, exploring Puerto Rico, its food, beaches, and culture.
Overall, I would recommend it to anyone, but don't put your expectation too high, plan to have breakfast out, because the complimentary breakfast consists of apples. Pastries, and coffee.
Coco will steal your heart, by the time you leave, you will fall in love with Coco. We ended up taking some pictures with her.
The place is very nice, with a nice ocean view, and has a good potential of becoming one of the most attractive, secluded hotels if the owner is able to make some improvements in the rooms, and the patio.

we’re so glad we had problems with our Airbnb in San Juan because we were able to stay at this amazing hotel! the staff are incredibly kind and the owner’s dog is very sweet and lounges around the patio. they provide small croissants and coffee for breakfast with a beautiful view of the ocean. at the entrance of the hotel you can walk across the street to the beach and the hotel itself is walking distance to some local and chain restaurants. 10/10 recommend staying here! the only downside was there were some mosquitos in our room that I think came through the vents, but I think that’s the case for any local hotel in Puerto Rico.

This place is a treasure. Back in August 2022, I was fortunate to find it and would recommend it to anyone that would love to stay in a quiet and cozy place….this is it! I instantly fell in love with it! The staff and owner made it feel like we were part of a big family!

My first time in PR and this hotel was just amazing! This is a beachfront hotel from the front and the back, it has a rooftop and the owner is super nice! The rooms are clean, the hotel is nicely decorated, and you get a key to enter the gates as they lock themselves for security reasons. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in PR! It’s close to all the activities we did and had stores by it too! 5/5
