Jan 26, 2026Fun in the sun and out of the cold in Toronto
We are return visitors to PlayaBatchata, arrived January 6 to the 21. Overall I would give the resort a 8.5 out of 10. The staff is very nice, food is good with lots of selections, beach is clean and ocean rocky in spots, rooms are good but dated, the shows were good and weather was very nice with some rain mostly at night. We spent everyday on the beach with lots of beach chairs available. The activity staff was very friendly and getting people involved in games. We played beach volleyball, bocheball, been bag toss and a putting contest. They also had a coconut beach party and lunch on the beach with local cooking. Wanted to recognize some of the activity staff we had interactions with ( Superman, Chocolate, Donkey and Flower ). The Al carts restaurants we ok ( stake and Italian) we had the Italian both weeks and enjoyed it. You have to line up in the lobby on the day you want to reserve. The rooms were cleaned everyday and two bottles of water were put into the fridge, you can also get water in a few differet area to fill your water bottles. We didn't see many mosqiitos on the resort except for our room. I recommend you being a fly swatter if you have the same issue. The chairs around the pool are very hard to get in the morning and the pool isn't very big for the amount of guest at the resort. The one issue I noticed was that they only had metal stepdown steps in the pool. Any older person or one with disabilities would not be able to get into the pool. I spoke to a staff member and told him they need an area were you can walk into the pool with a handle. They have very nice specialty coffees at a few of the bars that we always got to take to breakfast with us. The internet only works in the lobby area. I would recommend that you go to Senator the sister VIP resort where the WiFi is much better in their lobby. On the way to Senator, where some of the nightly shows are held, you walk down Troipicina Blvd. The have differant shops, gelato, pizza, coffer and dessert shop that guest are allowed to use for free. When we were at the resort, it was about 90 percent Canadians. Don't be caught up in all the bad reviews, this place is an excellent deal for the price and judge it for yourself. We plan to go back again.....
