Playmarina Spa Hotel is a medium-size, mid-range chain hotel on the beach that offers many of the same services and facilities as its competitors in this price range, though it's a bit more intimate and has a great spa. Meal packages are available and there's a small bar -- drinks aren't included. Watch out for a laundry list of hidden charges like parking and Wi-Fi. Decent-size rooms are clean if not a little too overdosed in pink. Most have bathtubs and overlook the pool. The beach is accessed down a long wooden footbridge without any facilities on the sand.
