플라이이타스 호텔

Mixed feelings. Sports facilities still great. I really love the perfect 50 mtr salty pool. Nothing better than swimming outdoors and have your own lane. Yoga classes and reformer pilates became much more expensive (double price) since last year August. No reformer pilates classes on the schedule during my week there. Food in general very tasty, Healthy and enough to choose for everyone. Just one tip, please dont call it beetroot, carrot or cucumber juice if it is just apple juice from a carton and sweet as hell. That was much better last year. No omelets without meat anymore. The main deception was the big groups of young people (i believe there for swim and padel camps) who made a hell of noise day and night and took over the complete resort. Atmosphere was completely different than end of high season 2024. Even then with more families, kids etc it was more relaxed.

Europes Best Sport Resort Such a bold slogan from Playitas – but can they live up to it?? I don’t think so. We’ve just finished a week of active family holiday at Playitas. Was it good? Yes! Is there room for improvement? Plenty! First and foremost, I find it both challenging (and frankly stupid!!) that you have to pay extra for a range of things that really should be included in the price at a sports resort. You have to pay to rent courts for padel, tennis, and pickleball. You have to pay for spinning and many types of crossfit. That should be included in the price. On top of that, there’s an antiquated system where you have to physically stand in line for quite a while just to book classes. That could easily be improved in 2025. Many activities take place under the blazing sun – only the instructors are shaded – it would be fairly simple to put up a few large sun sails so parts of the areas were in shade. The restaurants were a chapter of their own. Overall, the food was good with decent variety. Options for both healthy dishes and more indulgent holiday food! But… The service was downright hopeless. It took ages from when you sat down at a table until someone came to take your drink order. It took even longer for the drinks to actually arrive – and several times they only showed up after we reminded them! We also got served the wrong wine a couple of times. The restaurant ran out of cutlery. Clean plates were often not tha clean! The dishes at the buffet were often left empty without being refilled, and several times we experienced many dishes being “sold out” if you came during the second half of the opening hours. That’s not good enough! By the pool, it was the Wild West – sunbeds were “reserved” with towels all day without anyone using them, so often you couldn’t get a spot! If you wanted a drink by the pool, you were “ripped off” for an extra €1 for a plastic cup – and the drinks weren’t cheap to begin with! (And again, the waiting time at the bar from ordering to actually getting your drink was hopeless!) We’ve previously been to La Santa Sports, which clearly outperforms Playitas. Almost all activities are included, classes are booked via an app, and overall the service level is much higher! Here, we got the clear impression that it was more about squeezing as much money as possible out of the guests!
