Worst Resort Ever

Reviewed By RoderickH66

This was the worst resort I have been to. I came here for my 50rh birthday and it was a mistake. This is the cheapest resort I have seen. The staff does not treat people equally, very bias towards certain people. The staff is not friendly, no one speaks English except at the front desk. The food is horrible. We walked into the buffet restaurant exactly when the opened up and the food looked like it had been there for hours. We had to beg the wait staff for service, when they catered to others. The rooms were very boring and the mini bar was half stocked and you have to call everyday to get restocked. I've been to several RIUs and the price to stay here was great, but you get what you pay for. There was one elevator to the whole resort and we had to walk up and down 7 floors everyday to go to the beach or to eat. Please don't waste your money. The app was very useful. I had to call the front desk when we first got there and the phone rang for ten mins and no one ever answered. I had to use the app to get service. The speciality restaurants was always not available. Half the time our only choice was the nasty buffet. I watched certain individuals get turned away then other individuals being lead in the restaurant that supposedly was fully booked. This resort is not right. Don't waste your money. Everything is sub standard.

My wife and I stayed there last week and it was just wonderful experience. The staff were friendly, beautiful premises, rooms were clean and well appointed. We had a wonderful, large shower. Breakfast was included. Also had dinner and drinks in the evening. It was just lovely. I would definitely recommend staying. Plan on going back and will definitely be staying at The Golden Frog Inn.

Bodhi Hostel & Lounge

We offer free breakfast, high speed WIFI, lockers, bikes for rent, communal equipped kitchen, BBQ area, and lounge with affordable beer. Every bed in our place has a comfortable semi-therapeutic mattress (the same ones used in hospitals), pillow, super clean brand new cotton linen, towel, electric plug, individual lamps and curtains.

Bit overpriced and uncomfortable.

Reviewed By Q5718HRbrads

My time was full of cigarette smoking German kids, so that was the first and last thing I smelled daily. Unpleasant. My 2nd floor private room was stifling with no cross breeze or ac. The mattress was like a hard rock. My body ached the whole first night, but I adjusted. The breakfast is French toast and fruit. The lack of protein won't take you far if you plan any hikes. The room rate of 44 usd was overpriced considering shared showers and toilets. The good things were the funky decor, and the location. They had a lot of yoga mats and weights too. Not sure why Buddha is a theme but it's cool.

Nice resort but noise is a constant issue

Reviewed By danielsA4136SM

Resort is nice with great location and pools. Noise is a serious issue between rooms and in general. We got to know our neighbors and we never met. There are adjoining doors between the rooms that offer zero sound protection. You can hear everything and every word that is said like you are in their room with them. The resort sets up a nightclub in one of the restaurants on the beach every night. It is outrageously loud with music at crazy levels until around 2am. I can’t understand how anyone who manages a resort could possibly think this is ok in close proximity to rooms. It’s not just a bit loud. It is ridiculous. I am literally laying in bed writing this review because I can’t sleep over the screaming guests and never ending music. Minimally, rotate the venue in order to give the same guests a break. If you want an ocean view room like I have be ready to pay the price in noise. The constant overly loud music is an issue 18 hours a day. You just can’t escape it at any of the pool areas. I don’t mind music, but I don’t need the same music in my face at overly loud levels at every public area. Maybe I’d just like to relax at one public area without it. Just a thought. The food is decent but we have noticed it to be repetitive. The rooms are nice but nothing overly special. Again, this is a nice resort and the location, resort in general, beach, and pools are great. It could be better.

Highly Recommend - Great Staff

Reviewed By BelleAB

This was our first trip with my husband and we truly enjoyed ourselves. The staff at Playa Blanca make your stay even better. Although they spoke very little English, it was not that hard to communicate what we needed or ask any questions we had. They are all very friendly, polite, respectful, and helpful individuals. We stayed for a week and made a good connection with one of the bartenders at the pool, José. He is truly an amazing person that can make some good drinks and will keep your spirits up. As for our room, we had the deluxe family room with two queen-size beds and a view looking out at the pool with the slides. We were able to control the AC, had a TV, WIFI (throughout the resort), a safe, a closet to hang clothes if needed, a mini-fridge and a clean bathroom. But our phone did not work for some reason so any questions we had to go to the front desk or ask one of the workers. Our towels would get replaced every day by the cleaning staff and they would ask if we were in our room if we would like our room cleaned which was quite nice. For the pool area, they give you towels if you give them your towel card so they can keep track of the towels they provide and when you're done using it, they will give back your towel card. The pool is kept quite clean. Although, sometimes there will be some small leaves in the pool or sand at the bottom of the pool as you walk. They have slides that are quite fast when you go down them but are enjoyable. Unfortunately, the jacuzzi was not working when we were there but overall, their pools are just like the pictures that we shown and nice. The food provided was breakfast, lunch and dinner at specific frames times of the day that they give you when you check-in and between them is when the snack bar is open which is usually nachos, hot dogs or a burger. They have a variety of food during the day and would change it up every day. They did have an Italian restaurant for dinner that included appetizers, main course and dessert. You had to book beforehand on the day of and was FREE. They do provide unlimited alcohol and their entertainment is quite consistent throughout the day. They have some stretches in the pool during the day, a performance of the workers dancing and a talent show every night. There are a variety of excursions available at the resort such as jetsking, ATVing, horseback riding, kayaking and many more. Also outside of the resort which is usually with a tour guide. Both do come with a cost in USD and vary for all. For the excursions at the resort, there is a pamphlet and outside, you can ask the front desk for help. As for some feedback, the signs of the food at the buffet could include some English as we were not sure if a food dish was pork or beef. The cleanliness of the sand at the bottom of the pool could be improved. On the Sunwing website, the photos are outdated and need more photos to justify the great resort. Overall, our trip was an 8/10 and thank you to the workers that made our stay enjoyable, and George from Sunwing who was a fantastic tour guide that was available whenever we needed him.

Lovely setting, check for private events

Reviewed By Indie_Explorer

Food was excellent - we had breakfast. The setting of the property is lovely. The rooms are beautiful and a good size. The massage was also really good. They have a good masseuse. The massage was offered in a private room because their spa was closed to the general guests - the other section of the hotel which has the spa was reserved for a special event for a few days. The staff was kind enough to offer a massage because their spa was closed. There was no flexibility in checking in a little earlier though they were able to accommodate an hour later for check out. Highly recommend for the location but check if there any private events for those dates before you book.

Terrific Stay! The service at the Coronado Luxury Suites is top shelf. The staff knows well how to serve. The pool is expansive and well kept. The breakfast was very fast and basic. But good! We especially loved our room with a pool in front of our patio. You can easily walk to things in the Coronados but the road is gravel and uneven. It was a great stop-over stay.

So glad we spent the afternoon and night here. For such a reasonable price Togo provides so many extras like wifi, a/c, kitchen access, beach chairs and umbrellas, palapas for shade at the beach, and hammocks in the gardens. It's just across the street from the beach with private access. Rooms clean and bed comfortable. So nice we stayed another night!

Long weekend get away!!

Reviewed By nikoa1385

It is on the Main Street of the town, making it easy to walk to many places. The facilities are clean but not modern, the bed creaked, hot water did not work properly, no AC and the room had a scent of gas (kitchen gas) when we arrived. The service is standard, they welcomed us, gave us a map and cleaned the room once in our two nights. No water given, we had to buy. There is a small restaurant below and a souvenir store all owned by the same. We didn’t like the restaurant. Overall it was ok, as we were most of the day out. But not ideal to stay in, it was a seasons weekend due to Independence Day long weekend, so prices were higher than usual. But would not pay the same in other dates, it does not worth it. El valle is nice and chilly at night, very good for a romantic walk. We also went hiking and to the termal waters. Loved the town.
