I cannot emphasize this enough - do NOT let them give you the Deluxe rooms that face the street. The "Deluxe" rooms here are a total misnomer. These rooms are absolutely the tiniest rooms I've ever seen, and there is NO view of the beautiful pool or the beach (as the photos on Travelocity or Orbitz would lead you to believe).
I've been traveling to Playa 2-3 times a year for the past 4 years, and I usually stay at the Blue Parrot Suites. This time around, I thought I'd try something different. We ended up paying $200/night for a dark little hotel room with a broken door lock, a broken tv remote control (not like we were inside that much, but still), a dark little shower, and a malfunctioning a/c. There was free wi-fi, but it was super slow. You're better off going to the little cafe on 5th between 8th and 10th and getting wifi from them. There is no possible way I would ever, ever, EVER stay here again.
The upside was that overall, besides the hotel, it was a wonderful trip as usual - Playa never disappoints!
