Beautiful property--lush greenery, beach location, scenic neighborhood. We did NOT do the "inclusive" option so paid for dinner at the buffet and it was very mid. But--a good location for a night or two en route to elsewhere for us.

The rooms were everything we needed, the staff and restaurants were great, the beach was spectacular, the water was warm and clean and no coral or rocks, my wife loved her massages, all in all a fantastic place. Evening entertainment was a bit lacking and they could use a bit more variety for lunches.

My only major complaint was the food. The selection was really not that great and the quality was average. We stayed at the Reef Coco Beach in March and they by far had a better selection and quality of food. Another complaint was that we were not allowed to sit in the hot tub with our all inclusive package, it was not that way at the Coco beach resort. The beach was beautiful, clean rooms, and atmosphere with the jungle was great. I will revisit the Coco Beach resort but not the Playacar.
