This was our second time staying at the Playa Grande in the past 4 months. And we came back because of how much we enjoyed our first stay in March.
From the beautiful drive in, the lobby, the rooms and the grounds, its just very well run and taken care of. Some will say it seems a bit dated (maybe early 2000's?), its still very tasteful, classy and looks good to us. We were just there, and it seems that several of the buildings are being refreshed in phases too.
Aside from the buildings, the staff (especially the pool side event and serving staff), are amazing. Friendly, enthusiastic, helpful and willing to answer any questions. The event staff deserve a special shout-out (Eduardo, Rodrigo, Amy, Jair,....) go out of their way to increase the fun factor in and around the pools. They are inclusive to all skill, athletic and knowledge types, and try to learn your names as quickly as possible.
We are already looking forward to going back!
