Porto Playa Condo Hotel & Beachclub

“Location, Location, Location”

We really love the location, which far outweighs any of the cons we could identify. This place is sandwiched between the beach (not the greatest beach but still decent enough) and Quinta Avenida.

We really love the location, which far outweighs any of the cons we could identify. This place is sandwiched between the beach (not the greatest beach but still decent enough) and Quinta Avenida. We never even thought of renting a car as this place is so walkable. We got to try all sorts of different food spots this way. The hotel is very small and comprised of privately owned condo units. We were in 208, a 2 bedroom 2 bath family friendly unit. The kitchen was more than adequate and the fridge was spacious. The swimming pools were just right. My 5 year old son even thought the lower pool was his own private pool! Major kudos on the noise mitigation. We slept very well in this quiet little enclave that sits so near a super busy and loud promenade that is Quinta Avenida. Guests at this hotel get a wristband that gains them access to their sister properties such as El Taj just up the street, nearer to the beach. You also get discounts at some nearby eateries and a free 10 minute sampler massage at a nearby spa. We tried El Gobernador and had some amazing fresh seafood at a discount. As mentioned before, one can turn a blind eye to some of the shortcomings of this hotel solely because of its prime location and amenities, which earn it a 5 dot review from me on this platform. I cannot omit the fact that the unit felt a little dated in terms of the overall styling and some of the decor. The layout is a little awkward and cramped when it comes to the common areas, especially the oddly arranged back patio seating areas. Not the most useful arrangement because I could be sitting out on a lounge chair and looking straight into the next door neighbor's bedroom or vice versa. We mostly just used that space to air out the wet swimwear. The vacant space on the south side of the hotel took away from the curb appeal as it made it appear a little run down. The service was very friendly and personable. The housekeeping was exceptional. The place looked and smell clean even for its dated appearance.

“Birthday Celebration”

“Nice stay, would recommend”

Favorite hotel we stayed in. Very close to the beach and to 5th ave with all it's restaurants, shopping, and bars. We heard a little bit of noise from the bar across the way at night, but not too bad (our condo was at the far corner though). Great balconies for sitting out in the breeze and sun. Wa… more

Water filter in the kitchen, so we could fill up water bottles instead of buying plastic. GREAT gym downstairs and cute cafe across the way. Beds were okay, a bit firm for my liking. We were quite comfortable here.
