Comfortable and Clean

I had a fantastic stay at Playa Canela Hotel Boutique! The rooms were clean and well-appointed, providing a perfect mix of comfort and style. Each morning, I was delighted to wake up to beautiful views of the ocean from my window. I truly felt at home during my stay.

Relaxing Pool Area

The pool and adjoining whirlpool were the highlight of the grounds, kept spotlessly clean and at a very comfortable temperature. I spent most afternoons lounging by the pool, enjoying the soothing sounds of the ocean nearby.

Great Room View

Staying in a standard room without a balcony turned out wonderfully as the outside area offered an excellent ocean view. I loved relaxing and soaking up the serene atmosphere that the hotel provided.
