They never took the time to say "hi", never took the time to show me a menu at the bar, they didnt allow me to smoke even if the bartender was smoking 1m away from our table. No smile, no pleasure...worst place ever...and im living in playa for 1year!!!! More

We’ve just returned from our most recent visit. Once again we stayed at La Rana Cansada because we enjoyed it so... More

First trip to Playa was exceptional due in large part to La Rana Cansada. Close to everything and 'homey'. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff and proprietors mad us feel as one of the family. Can't wait to return. HIGHLY recommended !!!! More

We didn't stay at the hotel, but went to the bar for drinks. The male bartenders were fine - we were sitting right up at the bar - but a quarter of the evening through they switched and there was a female bartender who was only interested in hanging out with her friends and getting free drinks from the customers....

When I travel to other cities, I want to experience the destination as much as possible. La Rana Cansada provides the feel of Mexico in your room! Mexican tile floors, cement walls, bright colors for the curtains and bedsheets. A little on the rustic side, but good. The courtyard is open with a beautiful canpoy of Bougainvillea. The bar is...

No problems whatsoever and will definitely stay there again. Very close to beach, close to 5th Ave. Beds were a bit hard - Walmart is... More
