Overall, the week my friend and I spent in the Playa lodgings was wonderful. So much so, it was hard to head home. Linda came in an instant when we had a question and was unfailingly pleasant. The unit is nicely fitted out and was very clean. Our end unit had a small back porch along with the front patio, and we used both. The location within a block of the beach couldn't be better; my friend got up early and ran the beach each morning, and I headed down every late afternoon to swim and read and people watch until sunset.
We did have some minor issues, however, and I want to alert folks to a few things: 1) The unit seems designed for tall people. I'm short (5'2") and have a replaced knee that is stiff. The baths are elegant, but the tub in the master bath is way too deep for anyone short with knee or hip problems to easily climb in and out. I switched bathrooms with my friend and even she, who is a few inches taller, had difficult getting out of the tub. The shower in the other bathroom was perfect for me in terms of mobility. The door hook, however, is so high that even throwing my towel up sometimes failed to catch it. It would be helpful to have a lower hook placed on the wall, or a suction hook placed in the shower. 2). The cabinets in the lovely kitchen are so high on the walls that I could only reach the bottom shelf. It would be nice if the unit(s) had one of those folding steps tools so getting things into and out of cabinets was easier. 3). The layout of the bedrooms seems designed for a couple and 1-2 children--which I'm sure is a more common configuration--not for two adults traveling together who are not a couple. My friend hit her head three times on the top bunk as she got into/out of bed; we had to pad the bed railing with beach towels. If the bunks will be kept (and kids surely enjoy them and fight over who gets which), it might be good to get the type of bunk bed set-up that allows the bunks to be separated into two twin beds when adults are using that room. While the room is quite small, I think beds set perpendicular to each another would work if only one adult was to be in the room, or the second bed/bunk could be temporarily put in the storage shed. In spite of these issues, we loved our time, it was difficult to leave, and I keep wishing I were still there. :-)
