Whether you weigh 20 pounds too much or are an elite sports nerd this is the right place for an active or a relaxing vacation. Situated 35 minutes easy drive from the airport at the coast next to a small fishing village Playitas Aparthotel has it all. The apartments are true 4 star quality, spacious, solid walls where you cannot hear the next door neighbor, beds with real downs for the northern European style sleeping and fresh milk (no UHT) and all this is surrounded by lush subtropical garden on the vast grounds. Flowers all over add to your entire wellness experience here.
Our family is very relaxed about sports, but we felt welcome anyway. We were out running, used in-and outdoor fitness equipment, joined a yoga class, played minigolf and went walk about on the tracks mapped by the hotel. We did sports along with the best of the best German, Danish and British swimming teams who occupied about 1/3 of the hotel during week 7, 2010. But be aware guests go to bed early at this place, and they are up and active by dawn. On the downside is the food. Where the garden is 5 out of 5 stars –the best we have seen worldwide, and the aparthotel 4 real stars, as rated, the food in the resort restaurants is of too low quality. Especially the fine dining “La Bodega”, who shares kitchen with “Trattoria Da Luigi” is really bad value for money. Instead, we suggest to walk 5 minutes around the end of the beach to the local Las Playitas fish restaurant and get the exact same menu card great food quality and at half price. Advice: Bring electric kettle, flip flops (pool area tiles are dangerously slippery when wet) and plenty of sports clothes fit for a warm climate because you get inspired to become active among these splendid surroundings.
