    I had a fantastic stay at Playa 506 Beachfront! The location right on the beach was absolutely stunning. The room I stayed in was nice and clean, with comfortable towels provided. The AC worked perfectly, keeping the room cool and refreshing. The hostel had a great Caribbean vibe that made me feel instantly relaxed. The bar and restaurant served delicious food and drinks, and the free breakfast was generous. The staff at the front desk, housekeeping, and kitchen were all very friendly and accommodating. I even had an amazing massage on the beach by Cynthia. I had a wonderful experience at Playa 506 Beachfront and would highly recommend it.

    Some staff members were rude and disrespectful, causing discomfort.

    The location is fantastic, with the sun shining all day on the most beautiful beach of the Caribbean shore. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was decent with scrambled egg, rice and beans, bread rolls, fruit. The rooms have 4 fans that don't do much, but they have a fan and a shared bathroom.

    The room was a bit hot at night, even with 4 fans.

    There were a lot of hammocks around the area which was really relaxing and a perfect spot to watch the sunset. They also had a shuttle service for airport transfers which made things easier for us. The hostel was in a great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants.

    There were no mosquito nets and the fans weren't enough to cool the room. The hostel also had poor Wi-Fi connection making it impossible for us to stay connected during our stay.

    This hotel was amazing! From its prime location on the beach to the various facilities such as hammocks and a great bar, I couldn't have asked for more. Additionally, the cleanliness was impressive, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Finally, the breakfast was generous and provided the perfect fuel for a day on the beach.

    Couldn't find any faults at all.

    Beachfront location, 10-minute bike ride or 20-25 minute walk to town. Clean facilities, comfortable dorms. Friendly staff, shout out to Josue and Lucy.

    This hotel is right on the beach with coconut trees, offering a beautiful and serene atmosphere. It's conveniently located close to everything you may need, making it easy to explore the area. The location on the most beautiful beach of the Caribbean shore is simply breathtaking. The staff at this hotel are friendly and accommodating, providing a welcoming and pleasant experience. The basic amenities, such as the rooms with 4 fans that don't do much to cool you down at night, but they try their best. The shared bathroom is clean and well-maintained. The breakfast offered at this hotel is satisfying and provides a good start to the day.

    No major issues at this hotel.

    I had a great weekend getaway with awesome beachfront views. the hammocks really put me in a state of relaxation, exactly what I needed. the curtains on the bunk beds provided extra privacy which was a nice touch. I also appreciated the charging sockets, which made it convenient to charge my phone without having to leave it unattended.

    The bike rentals were really expensive and not worth it. It was difficult to get into town without them, so I ended up spending more in transportation than I would have liked.

    The location of this hotel was fantastic, right on the beach which has the sun all day. The service and attention to detail from the staff was completely satisfying-thanks. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, providing a peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast provided at this hotel was really delicious and filling.

    The mattresses in the rooms were a bit too firm for my liking.

    This hotel has an amazing location right on the beach with beautiful coconut trees all around. You can wake up to the soothing sound of waves crashing on the shore. the rooms are cozy and the breakfast is delicious and filling. From the hotel, you get a perfect view of the clear blue waters of the sea. There are many leisure facilities available here, like beach volleyball, snorkelling, and many other water activities, that me and my family found fun.

    The only downer was that the staff seemed to be a bit disorganized.
