What guests think

Across many reviews, Hotel Playa Bonita Resort stands out for its friendly staff, clean rooms, and direct beachfront access with ocean views, making it a safe, family-friendly base that feels convenient for quick getaways and longer stays.

Several guests appreciated practical in-room amenities like fridges and microwaves, plus an on-site restaurant and poolside bar. Common drawbacks include very firm beds and pillows, occasional elevator outages, and noise from the pool or bar. Policies can feel strict (wristbands, visitor limits, towel rules), and pools or hot tubs are sometimes cool or under maintenance; dining feedback varies and breakfast is usually not included. It suits travellers seeking a simple, well-run beach escape.

They need a disclosure that you need to bring your own Beach Towels to be on the beach as they do not allow they’re pool towels to be removed from the premises

We enjoy staying at this property; however, this time there were more limitations than when we stayed before. We couldn't have an ice chest by the pool, yet others had some and were not told a thing. Kids were all over the place this visit and jumping around the pool with no parents near. We helped one kid get out of the pool while he was not able to swim and another was jumping all over the place while his parents were in the jacuzzi. This time it really seemed more like a free for all to allow anyone to do whatever with many rules. Not as enjoyable as other visits. Elevator was down at the hotel when we visited. Pool was dirty.

There are two small pools. The kids pool was under construction. It’s the only pool with pool heater but unfortunately was not working. The other pool has not pool heater. Therefore the water was cold. I had two kids that they were disappointed when they found out the kids pool was not opened. The mattress on one of the bed was very uncomfortable.

The hotel was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the heated pool and Jacuzzi. Perfect location right on the beach. Comfortable and friendly staff. The price was quite reasonable. We enjoyed coffee and sunsets from the balcony. We typically stay in the RV park, so we always enjoy the coconut shrimp at Puesta del Sol in the hotel. The only thing I would change, is having softer pillows. The elevator is a bit sketchy and needs work. We had my father with us and he could not use the stairs. The staff was very helpful, assisting my father out the doors and into the car. It was a fantastic, Relaxing trip and we look forward to staying here again. Definitely recommended.

What an amazing place. The staff were absolutely top notch. The room and facilities all modern and updated. Did have a microwave and small fridge, ac worked great. Very family friendly, also we felt very protected throughout our stay really no outside elements allowed on property. Did not want to drive anywhere so the front desk was very accommodating in setting us up transportation. The restaurant was good, but really the only meals from it that were available were breakfast (buffet) and dinner fancy ish “this was great for a romantic on the patio over the ocean view”. Would like too have a place to get a smaller meal, without leaving the property there are vending machines and a small souvenir shop but that’s not much. I would recommend bring your food and drinks, didn’t see a bbq grill though. Beach was very private, however there were some vendors walking up and down, gets windy so bring tie downs for your umbrella or shovel to dig it into the sand.

Stay was nice bc the hotel was empty. My mom was staying nearby and they refused to let her on the property or allow us to purchase a day pass for her to watch the kids swim. I did not appreciate that. The location near the beach was very nice and their heated pool was great since it was Dec. They are super strict about using their towels by the pool or near the beach, so bring your own! There was a fridge and microwave in the room. The hallways echoed like crazy, so it was a little difficult to sleep. In busy months, I’m sure it would be way too loud. The front desk helped us reserve horseback riding which was also nice. Overall, a pleasant stay

It was a decent stay, not anything amazing or great, just ok. The first room they gave us had a missing security chain lock on the door (there were holes on the door frame & door where the security chain used to be, but no security chain) and the lock to the sliding glass door was broken. I question their quality control for even renting out a room with missing & broken locks. The second room they gave us had a strong smell of urine on the bathroom floor. Smelled like an uncleaned mens washroom where we men don't know how to aim and just pee on the floor. (After housekeeping cleaned the room again, smell was gone) Again making us question their Quality Control. The pool water was clear, but debris (paper, straws) & sand floating around & on the bottom of the pools, which is understandable late in the day after plenty of guest have been in & out of the pool, but this was first thing in the morning before any guests were in the pool. I would think that they would have an early morning crew cleaning & preparing the facilities for the day. The Hot Tubs had cloudy water, again even first thing in the morning so we never used them. We had four guest in our room, yet for some reason the front desk was very hesitant in providing us 4 keys. Pay attention to the #'s as they do charge extra for all guest above 2. We chose this hotel over others because they do have a mini fridge & a microwave in all rooms. Security is strict & presence (1 in front & 2 in pool area).

The beds were uncomfortable / hard , could not get a good night's rest. The elevator broke multiple times a day leaving us to get a ground floor room for my elderly parents. The wheelchair access ramp for the beach had an 18 inch drop-off to the sand making it unusable for my parents. When we asked for a refund to be able to go to a different hotel they told us no refunds.

The male receptionist at the check in desk was very discourteous and actually lied to us. I called and talked to both an Expedia rep as well as the front desk at Playa Bonita a week before arrival to request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor since I felt safer in an upper floor (both my girl friend and I are women.). The clerk said that no upper floor units were available which was a lie since that night I went out to looked and a lot of the upper story units were dark and unoccupied and the parking lot was almost empty. He told me that they will give me an 'upgrade' with a micro-fridge in it. That was also false because all the units are equipped with micro-fridge. This experience colored my whole stay at the resort.

I come to Purto Penasco often, this was my first time staying at Playa Bonita. I’m very familiar with the are. Definitely safe. The beach is beautiful on that side, not as rocky, clean beach, the only positive. The front desk employee was very condescending, passive aggressive, rude. There are no phones in the room as well (doesn’t bother me, but for those whom it would bother) Unexpected extra charge as well. I will never, ever stay there again.

The property is away from services so either you are forced to eat at the 1 restaurant onsite or drive somewhere. The property is outdated however it was easy to learn and get around. The staff is super nice and accommodating and I always felt safe there as well as my vehicle. I didn’t have any concerns there however there are some weird rules, you can get towels but you can’t take it to the private beach?? It’s also frustrating that the hotel will take credit cards however nowhere else on the resort does and the atm onsite is out of order for the last 3 months. My biggest complaint is the nightly price, if you are paying $300 a night you would expect wash clothes and a little more generous with some of the amenities in the room. You get 1 cup of coffee for example and we had 3 people.
