I have just come back from Hotel Playabachata, Puerto Plata, spending a week there. The hotel exceeded my expectations with food in buffet so much choice. The dining room is huge and food stations set up around sitting area. The staff are aware as soon as you arrive looking for table and point to tables available. The staff bring drinks and water whatever you request. If you want something else to drink there are stations set up that you can go to. The snack bar by the pool has grill item, burger, hot dogs, pizza and cold buffet set up so you can have fruits, salad and dessert..the beach/pool bar is right there for drinks. The food was tasty at snack bar. They have lots of different drinks to try. The beach my favorite place is large area with huge trees all around. There are no palapas so you have to find shade among trees. There is a need for more beach chairs since 20% are broken and you cannot use them. The actual sand is golden color, the ocean getting out of is tricky because the tide is strong so pulls at your feet. In the mornings tide is high so you only have to go 5 feet and you are at waist. There are small rocks at beginning so if you have water shows that's great but l managed without. The ocean is not as clear as in Cuba. The rooms were a bit dated but everything worked. I had two double beds. The buildings are 2 storeys with and 2seperate entrenched from each side to units. The bathtub was a challenge because l felt it was a little tight for showering. My maid was excellent. I told her l broke the sliding door security bolt which she immediately came to room and fixed. My safe didn't work but l just locked up cash and passport in suitcase. I was in room 1074. I did not get to meet entertainment staff but they seemed friendly. Front desk staff were a bit slow on checking but there was a lot of us. All in all pleased with hotel and would return if Cuba doesn't open up soon.

All in all the vacation was not horrible, but I would not return to this resort. Ser vice was great , food was good , I have had better at other 3.5 star resorts, the buffet was good always found something to eat, the a la carte restaurants we were rushed through dinner and there were no people waiting to come in, the food was good through. The snack bar had a great lunch. Rooms were small out dated and ac didn't work well. The patio/deck space was large and well kept, the fridge in the room was kept stocked with water and sodas, beer was not available in the rooms. The showers were warm at best and over heated the room as they was no ventilation. The beach was clean and well kept always found a spot there. It was rocky when you first walk in and then very slimy and weeds I recommend water shoes, if u walk down further down the beach to the right the beach is very nice, to the left is the senator that beach was not nice very rocky. The pool ...I wouldn't know as you cannot get a seat at the pool as people save loungers for a better part of the day and never use them, towel are left out over night, and you cannot get a seat. The pool is way to small for the amount of people at this resort and has ladder access only. Entertainment was great the usual shows ,but on certain nights you had to go to the senator for the show and you had to stand as there are not enough seats. All in all not a bad cheap vacation but I would not return to this resort.
