This is a very nice hotel about a 5 minute walk to the beach in Playa. Just a couple of blocks off of 5th Ave, it’s very walkable and close to restaurants and entertainment. The tour companies operate meet-up locations that are also an easy walk from the hotel. Since the hotel arranged airport transportation (about $35US pp each way), we didn’t need a car.
Having never been to Playa, the street outside seemed sketchy, but actually we were on a quiet street. Once inside, the receptionists were very pleasant with terrific English. The room was two full size beds, very firm, but comfortable. A remote control operated the AC which was able to crank the temp down to 19C/66F. The bathroom was spacious and also very clean. The balcony gave us a place to dry our swimsuits, and overlooked an immaculate pool area. We didn’t use the pool, next visit maybe, but the inner pool courtyard was nice.
They have a locked gate which closes at 9pm. But you get a gate key. We felt very safe.
Being a couple of blocks from 5th was nice for getting meals and enjoying the entertainment. We were away from the boom boom boom of the party zone…quiet for sleeping. It seemed like the hotels on that street have a “quiet hours” because by 10pm it was quiet as a church all around us.
We had debated the “all inclusive” reports and are very happy we found Hotel LunaSol. Very clean, very convenient location, felt safe, and allowed to feel immersed but away from the noise on 5th. Recommended!
