Playa Azul Review
Opened in 2006 and overlooking a secluded beach snug in its tranquil cove, this is one of the Southwest's newer and better lodging options. The rooms are quite comfortable, and there's cable TV, though no English-language channels. The hotel itself, two stucco blocks of units, is unattractive. Reserve the first tier of rooms: the second tier, right behind them, has no sea views. The two new casitas, Nos. 19 and 20, are the best. They're spacious and have great design, but why didn't they build them so that they both faced the water? Still, these two are indicative of an upward movement here. Kudos for the new bedding and outdoor massage cabanas. Although two of the three owners are French (the couple's partner is Dominican), for the most part, the decor is strictly local, and the only thing French here is the crêpes.
