“Great small condo/hotel building right in the heart of Playa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011

Blue Pearl Suites is a great place to stay when you want to be just a block away from the beach and 5th Ave. We stayed in one of their 2 bedroom units with some of our good friends and loved the location. The hotel staff is great, Julio is the manager and he provided fantastic recommendations for places to visit and eat.
The only potential downside depends upon your perspective. Its one block south of 12 Norte which is the corner with several clubs that play music into the early morning. With the windows closed and the A/C going it didn't bother us, and we liked the proximity to 5th and the beach, plus the clubs were fun for a couple of nights.
Overall I'd highly recommend the Pearl. The roof top pool is quiet and a nice view of the ocean, and with only 8 unit in the bldg it was never busy.
We plan on returning on our next trip.

Our apartment was spacious and very comfortable. Very close to the beach and 5th avenue. Best regards to Julio from girl, who loves keys :)

“We're back again, and not for the last time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2011

What a wonderful, wonderful stay we again had at the Blue Pearl! Very romantic, perfect location, great staff and service. Can't imagine staying anywhere else while in Playa. And contrary to the previous review, our beds, sheets, and pillows are ALWAYS very comfortable ( and we've now stayed in 3 different units)...there have ALWAYS been 3 pillows provided, with 2 more on the shelf...ALWAYS an extra blanket on that shelf if we got too cold with the A/C. Not to question the reality of their situation, but the general rule for other guests might be to ask the staff if you're missing something you need, and Julio will definitely see that you get it. What a gem he is! And once again, we always travel with ear plugs to help with sleeping...Once again, we didn't need them. We love the kitchen, the rooftop, the space, the vibe, the towel art by the recamaristas. Strongly recommended, so - Guess what? We'll be back!!

“We will come back and stay HERE. period.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2011

As I right this, my travel companions and I are toasting to a shot of Don Julio to a great stay at the Blue Pearl. We chose this place because of the great reviews here on Trip Advisor. To begin, we rated the sleep quality poorly because the bed was a rock and the linens were disappointing. The sheets were maybe 5 thread count and an 8 foot pillow. Good luck if you get cold, because the cheese cloth blankets did not provide any warmth if you like to sleep with the AC on. I wish there was a NA for the service, because this kind of place is like your own apartment. No frills service, but the maid will come daily if you request and did a VERY good job. We also wished Julio was a little more outgoing like we anticipated from all the other reviews that highlighted how amazing he was.

That being said, all of that didn't matter because everything else was perfect. It's one block form the beach and one block in front of Quinta. The space was ideal. It has a full kitchen, bottled water that they fill if it gets low, a beautiful balcony, and a rooftop pool (which has no service but you are welcome to bring your own food and drinks). There were 2 couples on our trip and had 2 bedrooms. It was nice that we all had our own bathroom with more than enough space. The living room has a couch that can also double as 2 beds, or just a place to take a nap. Side note, if you're planning on having a dance party and drink a bottle of tequila there's plenty of space for that!

You really can't beat this place. We would DEFINITELY come back next time we visit Playa!

Thank-you very much for taking the time to review! We really appreciate it because we work hard to make this a special place. I definitely agree that the rooftop solarium is a wonderful place to lounge!! Many thanks for your comments about the mattress and linens, we will look at it. As for service, that’s exactly what we wanted when we created the Blue Pearl: a place where you feel totally at home, a staff that is extremely discreet so you get the perks of a small hotel without the impersonalized attention and intrusion of a big place. So, welcome to your home abroad!!!
A little note about Julio: he took a few days off (he almost never does...), maybe this was during some days of your stay, but he will certainly be glad to see welcome you for your next visit!
