Almost all of the VTers that I've previously met were staying at the Princesa Playa for the big Euromeet 2006 meeting so my "husband" and I decided to stay here and it was a good choice. Carmen (Carmela71) was kind enough to assist all of us in booking rooms here for 50E per night. I'm not sure if that's the regular rate or if it was a special rate for our group but it was a very good price.
I loved the location right on the beach and the boardwalk, which I spent a lot of time strolling looking for food or ice cream or trying to locate VTers, seemed I ran into one or two or three every time I went out :-)
The rooms were comfortable, Kat and I shared a twin room with two beds which is pretty standard in Europe plus a couch where I suppose someone could sleep in a pinch. Rooms are air conditioned and there's a TV, neither of which we used, and an in room safe which didn't seem to work, I think you had to pay extra for it.
The bathroom was fine, plenty of hot water in the shower and clean. Hairdryer in bathroom, minimal toiletries.
I believe all of the rooms have some sort of ocean view, we had to walk out onto the balcony and peer around the corner to see ours but other rooms had full ocean views from their rooms.
Since this is an apartment type hotel, we had a cooktop, small refrigerator, kitchen table, full stock of glasses, plates and utensils, perfect if you want to save a little money while on vacation by cooking some of your own meals. Breakfast is NOT included in the rate but there is room service and a restaurant should you not want to go out.
On the roof, there's is a pool with lots of lounge chairs and a great view of the ocean and the mountains.
Internet access in the lobby but only one terminal, 1E for 30 minutes but you can go for as little as a few minutes. Same price as the local internet cafes which would probably been a better option seeing as so many people used it. And they weren't even VTers!!!!
There are also laundry facilities on site but the one VTer that used them said the dryers didn't work very well.
