La Casa de la Playa

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review La Casa de la Playa is hands down one of the most peaceful, relaxing, and unique resort experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. The property is quiet, private, and incredibly serene — never crowded or chaotic like many larger resorts. It truly feels like a hidden sanctuary. The staff was exceptional. Every single person was attentive, kind, and genuinely focused on making our stay perfect. Anything we needed was handled immediately and with care. That level of service is rare. What makes this place special is the balance. You can stay tucked away in total peace, or if you want energy and activity, you have access to the connected resorts with more restaurants, entertainment, and even buffet options. Then you come back “home” to the calm luxury of La Casa de la Playa. The dining experiences alone were unforgettable. These weren’t just meals — they were events. One evening we had a traditional Mayan dinner with live Mayan music, performers in authentic dress, and only three tables total — just three couples. It felt completely private and incredibly special. Another night we dined in what felt like a hollowed-out cave, surrounded by rock walls and a small pool of water with lights reflecting across it, with live jazz music playing. Again, only a few tables. It felt like something out of a movie. We also attended the backstage cultural performance on the property, showcasing music and traditions from all the regions of Mexico. Even in Spanish, it was deeply moving and beautifully done. The park itself is massive — you could easily spend two or three full days exploring all the activities and still not see everything. I’ve traveled to Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, and Hawaii, and I don’t say this lightly — this is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever stayed. More than just a vacation, it gave me something I didn’t realize I needed: true peace and quiet. Time to reconnect with my wife and reconnect with God. That made the trip priceless. Five stars honestly isn’t enough. Absolutely incredible experience, and we can’t wait to return.

Miguel gave my husband and I an informal, impromptu education on tequila at the main pool today! He explained the differences between blanco, reposado and añejo, the distillery process, the history and which one is used in cocktails vs sipping tequilas. We also did a little tasting! Gracias Miguel for the fun experience! La Casa de La Playa is always the BEST resort with the friendliest staff!

We booked a first-floor Suite Beach front. Upon arrival, we immediately noticed almost no ocean view due to overgrowth. It also smelled like cigarettes because the neighbor was smoking on his patio. We asked if we could move to an Oceanfront suite, which had no beach access, but the view was amazing. The manager said our room move was a downgrade and that, because we booked through our travel agent rather than directly with the hotel, we had to sign an agreement to forfeit the $500 nightly difference if we wanted to "downgrade". I have never downgraded a room in my life, and I can tell you that the clear suite ocean front view was not a downgrade. We did move rooms, which was the right decision. The next day, I saw that they had rented out our "superior" room, which is double-dipping. We spoke to the manager again, and she would not budge on a refund because she said it was less than 24 hours ' notice, and we didn't book it directly. This did not sit well with us. BUYER BEWARE, Suite Beach Front rooms have NO ocean view. You can access the beach through the hotel without a beachfront room. They kept our refund, but we will never return to La Casa De La Playa.

Staying at La Casa de la Playa was beyond our wildest dreams. When we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond with every request. The restaurants were amazing! Each meal was like a work of art and absolutely delicious. .Being a wine aficionado I loved the curated wine cellar. My husband loved the chocolate room. The beach and pools are second to none. They provide the perfect balance of relaxation and beauty. Whether lounging poolside or walking along the beach, everything feels peaceful, private, and impeccably maintained. La Casa de Playa was exactly what we needed refined, intimate, and unforgettable. Absolutely worth every moment.

Stunning property, great service, beautiful rooms and spectacular food. We will return for sure. Very quiet and elegant. Party time is next door at Xarte and only a short walk away. Only complaint is that the house wine is not great and there is a very small selection. Wine list is extensive and varied but exorbitantly expensive. E.g., a Santa Margherita that is usually around $20 is over $100 Cdn.
