Best family vacation place!
Had a terrific family vacation. Very accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was pleasant and we were comfortable. Even changed out our mattress on the bed for us when the bed was too hard. Staff so friendly, food was good at a decent price and we love the bar ❤️ we will definitely be returning.

The A/C sounded like it was going to fall off the wall all night. The bathroom towels were old, stained at ratty like cleaning rags. The employees were beautiful, pleasant , sweet & hard-working people. Food was very mediocre and expensive. The rooms needed some eating utensils and a microwave. A clock in the room would have been very nice. The view on the beach was excellent . They should give guests #1 dibs on the pickleball courts. NOT the locals hogging all the courts in the cool mornings. Just wrong and frustrating not to be able to play pickleball as advertised for the price paid to stay at the hotel!!!!

We had a great time at this beautiful property. Only one thing, the pool deck was not swept our entire weeks stay. This caused uncomfortable walking as tree seeds were on the deck. Other than that it was amazing.

After our first day the pool was drained and then under repair. We were not advised. Was one of the reasons we picked that hotel. Lounge chairs were also put away. Lights going into resort from town were off at night, was a bit dark if Venturing out. But food was good, staff friendly and resort kept clean.

Great location to shopping, restaurants and the beautiful beach. Of course, the Sea water was amazing and warm - pool was chillin', like most in Mexico due to not being heated. Very good breakfast lunch place with reasonable prices. Round bar overlooking the beach was also convenient.

The hotel was kind of cute and great location. The beds were not at all comfortable, they were hard and had tissue paper thin sheets on them and no mattress pads. The bathroom had a horrible layout. Defiantly not worth $200 per night.

The location is excellent for water sports, which is why I chose it. The location is close enough to the center for town where you more dining choices. Incidents of crime seem non existent, or very low at least. The rooms are a little small, but kept in somewhat decent condition, only problems were a couple of light bulbs were burned out & the hot water tap was leaking. The walls or doors are not very soundproof, so when there were people partying at the bar upstairs, or the music was blasting, or the local, early morning pickle ballers were passing thru, it was a little noisy. I wanted to rent a bike for a few days, but costs were the same as the local bike rental shop in town, but the bikes were in much worse condition. Guests at the hotel should be able to get a reduced rate to increase the chance that they will rent there instead of in town. I didn't see any bikes get rented from there the whole time & they weren't offering me any discounts. We did get a discount on Pickleball by staying there, but they made it confusing or difficult to play with the regulars or locals from town... only allowed to play on our own later on in the day when it was hot & windy. Locals seem to come from all over, which adds to the noise & foot traffic thru the resort & many times, filled the parking lot with their vehicles. Room prices are a little high; more than we usually spend on all inclusive, which will affect our decision to go back there in the future.

Amazing staff, gorgeous location, safe, great food, clean & cozy. Charging food and drink to the room was super convenient. The only minor negatives to this wonderful place was the beds were not very comfortable and the process for using the hotel pickle ball courts was a bit clunky. We found out when we got there that the courts are "reserved" until 10AM most days unless you get on the "list".

My friends and I head to Playa del Sol because they have four pickleball courts on the property. We understand that Tony, who runs the pickleball program in the morning, collects around $6 from anyone that wants to play. This year, the hotel started charging an additional $3 for those that want to play in the afternoon. We will be looking at different lodging, if they continue to charge for courts that are part of the hotel.
