Spacious and Clean

During my stay, I was delighted to find my room to be not only spacious but also impeccably clean. The lovely balcony offered stunning views of the ocean, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Despite some chatter about outdated furniture, the cleanliness truly stood out and was maintained throughout my stay. It's a comfort to return to a neat and tidy space!

Fun for Kids

I was thrilled with the variety of children's amenities available at Playa Linda. The kid's club was fantastic, providing an engaging space for my children to make friends and enjoy activities like movie night with pizza. It gave us, the parents, some precious evening time to relax. They absolutely loved it!

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

6.8/10

I recently returned from a two-week stay at Playa Linda, and although the resort has its strengths, I've noticed some areas needing attention. The staff are generally great, especially those at the front desk and on the beach who make you feel like family. However, I've seen a decline in cleanliness and service quality over the years. My experience this year was marred by unhelpful staff during a power outage and issues with room cleanliness. Overall, the resort has a lovely atmosphere, but it may not match the standards I've been used to.

Rooms

The rooms are spacious and provide a nice view of the pool and ocean beach, but they definitely need new furniture as some pieces are worn and in disrepair.

Playa Linda is a wonderful place to stay; the warm greetings from the staff immediately make you feel welcome. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location right on Palm Beach is unbeatable. Plus, with both adult and family pools, there's something for everyone. On the downside, while the beds are cozy, they could be a bit too firm for some. Overall, I found it to be great value for money.

I had an enjoyable stay at Playa Linda with its beautiful views and friendly staff, especially the beach attendants. However, I found the chair reservation system at the pool and beach frustrating, as it forced us to wake up early just to secure a spot. Overall, it's a clean and comfortable place that I would recommend, despite the seating issues.
