Positive Reviews

positive:

Excellent beachfront location

The location of the hotel, right on a pretty wild stretch of coastline with lovely sandy beach, was by far what most impressed guests about Playacanela. They loved that to get to the beach all they had to do was stroll down the walkway over the dunes. Also mentioned was the proximity to the marina.

positive:

Indoor pool available

Guests travelling in the cooler months were very happy to report that there was a heated indoor pool available. They never felt like they were missing out on the pool experience, just because the outdoor pools were too cold to swim in.

positive:

Good for family holidays

The immediate area is not heavily commercialised, and there is not much of an off-site nightlife scene. This suited families perfectly, since it seemed to create a more family-friendly atmosphere. Guests also mentioned that there was a good children's entertainment program in season.


Negative Reviews

negative:

No in-room tea or coffee facilities

While of course these were available in other sections of the hotel, quite a few guests in the regular rooms did miss not having tea or coffee making facilities in their rooms, since they weren't able to whip themselves up a quick cuppa with no fuss.

negative:

Wi-Fi for additional fee

All guests who mentioned that Wi-Fi was an extra charge were thoroughly unimpressed with the policy. Considering the central position connectivity plays in people's lives nowadays they believed that it should have been included in the room rate.

negative:

Problems with the lifts

There were a surprising number of comments concerning the inefficiency of the lifts. The main problem seemed to be that there were not enough of them for the size of the hotel. As a result many guest were left aimlessly pressing the up or down arrows to summon lifts that took forever to arrive.
