    beautiful grounds but limited pool hours

    The grounds of the hotel are stunning, with a lovely garden area that adds to the charm. The breakfast provided each morning was delightful and included a variety of fresh and tasty options.

    The pool hours seemed to be quite restricted.

    peaceful spot
    champagne breakfast

    We had the terrace suite, which came with a little patio right next to the gardens! What a peaceful spot to unwind after long beach days. They really knew how to treat us, offering complimentary champagne in the morning which was just good.

    It wasn't exactly cheap. but it didn't feel like I was getting ripped off either.

    thermostat issue
    room temperature

    The perfect spot for a quick getaway! Everything felt relaxing, especially the generous breakfast options and complimentary wine reception, which made our evenings feel special. We explored the nearby beach and shops, all within a short walk. The only downside was the thermostat issue in our room, but the staff was quick to bring us extra blankets and a space heater. Overall, a wonderful experience!

    Amazing Stay with a Personal Touch

    Our experience was delightful, particularly the complimentary wine reception and the delicious breakfast featuring made-to-order omelets and fresh pastries, which made each morning special. The stunning landscaped gardens offered a peaceful place to relax. However, we noticed some renovation work, which might impact the experience for some guests. Overall, a fantastic getaway!

    welcoming atmosphere
    warm room

    Had a great time with friends! We explored Fisherman's Wharf and drove the stunning 17-Mile Drive. The complimentary wine reception and delicious breakfasts were highlights. The atmosphere felt welcoming and cozy, perfect for chilling out with pals. Just a heads up, some rooms can get a bit warm, so check in advance.

    We had a minor issue with our room being warmer than we’d like, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times.

    bathroom cleanliness

    We enjoyed our stay at this lovely spot with my hubby! The location is just perfect, only a couple of blocks from the beach, and the breakfast was fantastic—a real treat starting our days right.

    In my wife’s opinion, the bathroom cleanliness could be improved.

    My recent stay at La Playa was quite pleasant. The hotel exudes a charming atmosphere, with well-maintained grounds that create a calming environment. The complimentary wine receptions in the evenings and the enjoyable breakfast buffet, featuring an omelet bar, were delightful touches. The location offered easy access to the beach and local restaurants, enhancing the overall experience for work and leisure.
