Great trip

Los cuartos muy viejos feos, la almohadas poco confortables goteras en loa cuartos, terrible, no Internet horrible.

It was nice

No nightclub old

Good room size, staff very friendly, gym is enough for a vacation gym.

The room clean, the food very good and the animation is good…

El ambiente muy bueno, la comida deficiente

Not having wifi was inconvenient. The buffet did not have many choices. Staff is incredible. Very friendly.

The food was cold most of the time

They had a fully equipped Gym, the best part is the Market street with Mokka coffee shop, ice cream . Cons- The rooms would’ve been more cleaner especially the bath tub

The staff were generally very helpful and friendly and really tried to please. However, our room was furnished with very old furnishings and stank of mould. The fridge was ancient and dripped water inside; the bathtub soap dispenser was broken (but was replaced when we requested it). Also, the lock to the sliding doors was broken, as well as the lock to the only window. We put pens into the window well and my cane at the bottom of the sliding doors. The black-out curtains were ripped and let in light at night. We stayed for the excellent variety of food offered and for the long strand of beach with older trees and palms that offered lots of shade if desired. Also, the pool area was quite large and didn't feel crowded. The amenities were good too; as you could go over to a portion of the Senator side which offered a free Pizza joint, Coffee & Pastry Bar & Ice Cream shop.

Too many people smoking in a lot of the areas

Clean room but hard to find at first.

Food bad

The beach is so pretty with lots of palm trees. Easy to walk around. Staff is so friendly. Perfect for couple or family.

Expedia listed this property as 4 star, other internet sites list it as 5 star. Although there may well be parts of the resort that are 4 or 5 star, my "standard" room certainly was not. Broken window in my room, busted furniture, broke tiles, power to my room unstable frequently going out. The resort moved me to a different room that was not much better. The power in the room stayed on, but still damaged woodwork, broken tiles, wires off security alarm on slider door, ceiling fan filthy and worn, ceiling vent caked with filth, just awful. And at the resort's steakhouse restaurant, when diners at the next table went to the salad bar, one of the property's stray cats jumped up on the diner's table eating off the plates, absolutely atrocious. I complained to Expedia that they misrepresented this resort as 4 star, and that Expedia listed the "standard" room as having a separate bedroom, which none of the standard rooms had. Expedia offered to relocate me to different lodging, but they were not willing to relocate me to equivalent lodging of an all-inclusive ocean front resort. All Expedia offered me were hotels that were not all-inclusive, not ocean front, and hotels not resorts. So then i replied to them that since they could not, or would not, relocate me to equivalent lodging, i would accept their alternate offer of financial compensation. After multiple communications to them, they refused to reply. So no relocation and no financial compensation.

Meal staff/ Servers very friendly, cleaning ladies not so much, not accommodating, come into the room in the morning to take the tip, then not come back for 4 hours to clean it.

Lovely place Nice’s people Everything close proximity Staffed Nice’s and helpful love the places I’m definitely coming back

Everything

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest Review of Playabachata Spa Resort I stayed at Playabachata Spa Resort for 6 days and paid about $1600 CAD for two people, and for that price, the experience was absolutely worth it. The resort has a vintage, older style and hasn’t had major upgrades, but the essentials were exactly what I look for: a clean bed, fresh sheets and towels, and a hot shower. The staff were genuinely amazing and made the stay feel welcoming. What Made the Trip Worth It My goal wasn’t luxury — it was to escape –15 to –30°C Canadian winter and wake up to sunshine, heat, and the sound of the ocean every morning. For that, this resort delivered perfectly. The atmosphere, beach, and weather made the trip. Food I’d rate the food 3 stars. It’s not gourmet, but it was enough to enjoy the stay. At this price point, I wasn’t expecting high-end dining, and I think it’s important to be realistic: you get what you pay for, and the value here is in the location and the getaway. Final Thoughts For $1600 for two people, this resort gave me exactly what I needed — a warm, relaxing break from winter with great staff and a comfortable place to unwind. I’d return with the same expectations and enjoy it again.
