We walked to La Playita from the Courtyard Marriott and we were very happy we did. The lunch time hamburger special was the best value meal we had while in PR. The view was awesome. The service a little slow- especially since there were only a couple of tables filled while we were there- perhaps this is just a cultural... More

To begin with, my only one regret is that we did not find this restaurant when we were in San Juan 2012. It was the coziest sea side restaurant with great food, service, view & atmosphere. The manager and staff went out of their way to ensure that our group of 6 had a great table beside the water. Had... More

Wonderful small restaurant with water view. It's a bit hidden in the back of the La Playa hotel, but worth hunting it down. I had dinner and breakfast here while on vacation and both meals were wonderful. Service was great and I was not rushed. I could have spent all day sitting there watching the water. Some folks were there... More

Loved La Playita! Took my mom there for a late lunch. The atmosphere is very laid back and its located right on the beach. We ordered Shrimp mafongo, ham and cheese wrap with coco frio. Everything was delicious! The servers are all very friendly and helpful. Hector was the best! Thanks Hector for being so patient with my mom. We... More

What a gem. This little restaurant is hidden inside a cute boutique hotel. We didn't stay there, but would walk over from El San Juan hotel. Dinner at sunset (literally on the water) was beautiful. It's a small clean, but casual restaurant. Fun and tasty drinks. Good local food. Nice salads, burgers, shrimp, and fish. We came back several times-... More

La Playita is tough to find, but worth finding. Great location right in the water. The food was wonderful and so was the Sangria. I had an amazing salad with strawberries, red onion, farmer cheese and salmon and it was fantastic. Service was great. Highly recommended.

Nothing like drinking a Puerto Rican rum cocktail out of a coconut while looking out into the ocean (early afternoon). Top it off with La Playita's special shrimp with avocado...you'll certainly be pleased.

We love the beach and most of all walk through the sand at sunset. In a few more years we will retire and Isla Verde is the place!! Our grandauther became a teenager this weekend and had a party in the beach. This small hotel and an excellent price for two nights but most of all has excellent food and... More

Wonderful atmosphere and staff. Jonathan, our server was wonderful. He politely recommended the special and went out of his way to find answers to our questions. The drinks and service were excellente! The food, mahi mahi special and mofongo were mouth watering. We travelled as a couple on an evening out and shared two drinks, an appetizer and a main... More
