My stay at Hotel Playa Bonita was quite a mix. The location by the beach was fantastic, bringing a soothing sound of waves at night. However, the hotel itself felt a bit run-down and lacking in amenities. While the restaurant served amazing food, including the best tres leches cake I've ever tasted, the condition of the hotel left something to be desired.
