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.

“Great Condos in Playa”

This place is right near the action and a beach so location is really good if you want to wander the streets where the restaurants are. The condo was fantastic- really comfortable and clean and it was great to have a bit of space for a few days. The pool is nice & quiet. Feli was our cleaner and it… more

This place is right near the action and a beach so location is really good if you want to wander the streets where the restaurants are. The condo was fantastic- really comfortable and clean and it was great to have a bit of space for a few days. The pool is nice & quiet. Feli was our cleaner and it was always spotless and made up early which we loved. Thankyou. We popped down to the sister property (El Taj) which is about 80metres away. The wrist band which gets you entry to this property also works at El Taj which is on the beach - both are lovely properties. We did struggle with the lock which worked on a swipe and twist set up and it took us a few days to master it. No noise from the street to bother us! The bakery across the street did great coffee We didn’t use the gym or take advantage of the restaurant discounts but they are both a nice touch. Great reception staff too
