Reviews for LaPlaya Resort & Suites
Review 1:This is an older hotel, and it shows. Everything in this hotel looks senile and decrepit. Doors are hard to shut, bathrooms have every shade of rust and other things, carpets are stained with who knows what, etc...
Review 2:This hotel is on the beach, but don't ask for more. It is great if you are with friends living it up on spring break or any other alcohol fueled vacation.
Review 3:Nothing!!!!
Review 4:We have been going to LaPlaya in Daytona Beach since our honeymoon in May of 1985...we have been there about a dozen times since then...and have never wanted to stay anywhere else. The staff are just caring and enthusiastic and helpful, and we have so many wonderful memories of our many stays there!!! We have seen some reviews where people have complained that it's outdated and needs paint etc....well we don't care about that superficial stuff. The awesome balcony view and comfy rooms/beds along with the fantastic staff (especially the speedy maintenence guys and sweet girls who clean the rooms) more than make up for a lil bit of peeling paint here and there!!! Love LaPlaya and will never stay anywhere else. Our first experience with Booking.com was also fantastic...great communication and room price PLUS they made sure to let LaPlaya know what our preferences were. If u just want to get away from all of ur worries and relax and have some fun....check out LaPlaya!!! Take it from me...my husband and I ALWAYS come home relaxed and happy even after almost 31 years :-)
Review 5:pillows were flat as a board, beds were small and very uncomfortable. carpets were turning my socks black on the bottom they need shampooed badly. the tiki bar wasnt open for business and the restaurant wasnt open for business either
Review 6:staff was absolutely great! price was fair for amenities.
Review 7:We're given smoking fm when non smoking was requested, door to balcony in first room did not open, front door to second room was very hard to ope or close, bathroom was dirty, not enough towels, no shampoo or conditioner, hotel in general disrepair and needs total overall
Review 8:Being right on the ocean
Review 9:The food at the restaurant of the resort was not good . However, the servers were great !
Review 10:The swimming pool had salt water and the right temperature !We spend hours there enjoying ourselves. They had plenty of pool towels and they were clean !
Review 11:Our room did not get cleaned. At 5pm front desk was notified and had to be contacted again at 6 pm. We had been scheduled to attend a comedy show but had to cancel since we did not have towels to shower. Towels arrived at about 6:30 pm!!! We left room around 8 pm and it was cleaned sometime between the time we left and midnight....
Review 12:location was good and size of room. Also included a kitchenette.
Review 13:I didnt like the People how clean they left dirty towels over and over and didnt leave use paper and didnt acept tips unless it was higher then $10
Review 14:The view of the ocean
Review 15:Most disgusting old hotel-health dept needs to shut it down. The scary kind you see in movies. a roach or rat would not surprise you. checked in checked right back out-would never sleep there. doors won't close-holes in walls/cracks in toilet/outlets spark/tv don't work/fridge-oven rusted loud/pool-hot tub gross dirty smelled like dog/balcony not safe.
Review 16:ocean view
Review 17:The door only fully latched if you were very careful to pull it just right, and the door frame looked as if someone had tried (and possibly succeeded) to force the door open past the locks. Smoke alarm went off at 4 AM in our room, and the maintenance man acted surprised that we wanted him to come check it out, since it "had already stopped on its own". I did not feel particularly safe.
Review 18:The receptionists were friendly and helpful, the room was clean, and the beachside location was good.
Review 19:we just had 2 days of over cast and rain -- our last day there we wanted to spend relaxing at pool and beach -- but what did we get ? jack hammering on the balconys two floors up from the pool --- who can relax with that going on?
Review 20:We had two little problems with our room. One was a clogged bathroom sink drain which they fixed immediately and the other was a problem using our entry card. They immediately changed the lock and gave us new keys. They were very prompt with all our requests and were all very friendly and helpful. We would stay there every time we are in Daytona. Everything about our stay was fantastic.
Review 21:I'm a senior citizen traveling alone in a city where I did not know anyone. Sontonya (a member of the housekeeping staff) made sure to speak with me everyday in a very concerning and friendly matter. The staff made me feel truly welcome.
Review 22:Its a 29.99 room with a 100$ view killed a roach I would not recomend ifyou are use to cleanliness.i never do reviews but I had to speak on thatnasty room!!
Review 23:The View Was amazing
Review 24:i asked for a non smoking room and we got a smoking room and the shower head was not on shower and it wasnt very enjoyable
Review 25:i like the area it was nice very freindly staff and other gusest
Review 26:The staff was extremely easy to deal with and very helpful. The maid that we had was awesome and went out of her way to help everyone with a smile. Overall, a great experience!
Review 27:They said no dogs over 25 lbs. I saw several Pit Bulls and Labradors. Watching folks stand in the pool and eat BBQ ribs and baked beans was a big turn off as was watching all the people from the beach come up and take a dip in the pool.
Review 28:Front desk staff was friendly and fantastic.
Review 29:Definetly needs pressure cleaning and updating of the pool area. Not horrible, but noticable.
Review 30:The staff is wonderful. Of those, Chrissy, who works the comedy club and tiki bar,made our stay a true pleasure. Staff like this overcomes inadaquacies of the property for those who are not too full of themselves.
Review 31:The toilet got plugged up twice they advertise for a breakfast buffet they did not have one we went in to have breakfast and there was only one person running the whole restaurant walking people to the tables taking orders bringing up the food and being a cashier that was ridiculous
Review 32:Crissie. the bartender at the tiki bar was an awesome person she was very polite and very nice and took care of us the whole evening
Review 33:See anove
Review 34:The hotel was dirty and run down. There was no maintenance or personnel to monitor patrons. The guests were roudy and noisy. The beds were very uncomfortable. The price included breakfast yet the restaurant was closed. Could not eat there.
Review 35:Everything else about this hotel was horrible! Outdated rooms,beds,and kitchen. No pots and pans in room but plenty of plates???? The pictures of the rooms on the website differ from what you will stay in. The air conditiong did not work properly and we had to change rooms twice. My wife had two mandatory conference calls via Internet and could never maintain a signal. She had to drive across the street to publix just to keep her job!Never would I recommend Laplaya to anyone I know. Thanks for the Horrible Experience Laplaya!
Review 36:The cleaning lady who made sure we had what we needed!
Review 37:WE HAD TO LEAVE. LOL
Review 38:THE GIRLS AT FRONT DESK WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND WHEN ASK IF THEY COULD PRINT MY BOARDING PASS TO GET ON OUR PLANE , THEY DID IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS... THANK YOU,,
Review 39:Everything else the rooms were dirty and falling apart the stove didnt work and the pictures online look nothing like the rooms at all. There were a bunch of kids throwing balls at vehicles and after i called down to front desk i actually had to go down myself and handle it. I am very disappointed and disgusted.
Review 40:The only good thing was that it was right on the beach
Review 41:Just wish they would have had some complimentary breakfast.
Review 42:The price was extremely well. Myrtle Beach hotels were double the rate as to this one. We loved it. Clean and nice staff.
Review 43:All beds were only FULL size & roll-a-way was pretty uncomfortable. Hot tubs & pool closed at 11pm. All towels were very scratchy - felt like sandpaper -worst I ever had in a hotel!!
Review 44:The staff was very friendly & helpful. The pool was very nice. Joke Factory was excellent.
Review 45:Child pooped in the baby pool. It took them 3 days to clean it and reopen the baby pool. I have a 3 year old, so it would have been nice to have it cleaned quickly
Review 46:On the beach and price
Review 47:Rooms were nasty!! door knob was hanging off of the conjoined room. Didn't bother to give back drivers license after check in and had to drive back from winter haven to get them.
Review 48:Had a nice crib for baby
Review 49:hot tubs did not work, well, one did kinda work part of the time. ice machine on our floor did not work. elevators were slow.
Review 50:the beach was close, and was a great view from floor 900. all the staff was great at their jobs.
Review 51:I didnt like that someone vomited on a towel and threw it outside in the hall and it stayed there for over 12 hours also i had a dont not disturb sign up and house keeping still came in
Review 52:The staff was great all very helpful and nice
Review 53:I paid tooooo much...I think the restaurant and tiki bar should be open all week nit just weekends....remember were on vacation so everyday is Friday
Review 54:No beadspreads no coffee filters provided appliances-stove-all rusty! refridge- Did NOT WORK! Bottom very warm, Freezer as cold as refridgerator should have been, also all rusty (painted over ) over all, you get what you pay for. wifi- slow connect Place needs up-grades.
Review 55:Location, affordability, beach view-awsome.
Review 56:Balcony wasn't private. Neighbors very close. Found a bug in bed.
Review 57:Amazing view! Covered parking! First gave me a room where the sliding door was broken and gave me a free upgrade.
Review 58:The room has a kitchenette and it was not very clean. The appliances needs updating because it looks dingy and out dated. Behind the beds had dirt.
Review 59:Hotel is located on the beach so it was very convenient for our family trip.
Review 60:The first room was smoking and it was awful. Also, the door looked likeit had been kicked in and it wouldn't lock. The staff brought uskeys to another room immediately, though. It was a non-smoking room andsmelled much better, but still not super clean. Doable, though as pricewas right.
Review 61:Location is awesome. Staff is friendly. Great pool and parking.
Review 62:Was there on a weekend where mostly African Americans were there...left for dinner when we got back couldn't find a parking space. Also someone pooped in the pool so couldn't even swim in the pool! Very disappointed
Review 63:They don't seem to have enough parking for their guest. Had to drive around several time then had to get someone. Had to park in a made up spot they had me squeeze into since there wasn't one. Rooms could use some updating in rooms.
Review 64:Friendly staff and nice lobby and pool area.
Review 65:The rooms were old and tired as was the whole hotel. When we checked in we had a sullen young lady who didn't want to assist. However when we asked to change our room because it was over looking a building site and the door was extremely hard to open and close, we got a lady who was a lot more helpful.
Review 66:The view from the room we got changed to was awesome. The location is great for walks on the beach and close to a Ruby Tuesdays.
Review 67:Drove from Maryland and called twice about our stay and they say they are pet friendly but didn't let you know that they only take dogs under 25 pounds..and they wouldn't take our dog cause of breed..and wanted to charge more money..would never recommend this place ever..
Review 68:Had to keep flushing the toilet to get cold water in the shower and sink. Didn't ever see anyone cleaning the pool while the pool was closed, but we didn't swim in it always load with people.
Review 69:Refrigerator wasn't working on arrival. Eventually fixed. Breakfastcost was exceptionally high. $23 buffet breakfast for 2.##WORST PROBLEM WAS THE LOUD MUSIC FROM TIKI BAR INCLUDING VERY LOUD DISK JOCKEY. COULDN'T GO OUT ON THE 9TH FLOOR DECK BECAUSE OF NOISE.
Review 70:The staff honored our request for ocean front room near elevator.Sufficient covered handicapped parking. Good beds and linenservice daily.
Review 71:The pillows were a bit flat!
Review 72:we enjoyed a wonderful beach view and the fact that the beds and kitchen area where separate. Very clean with a nice pool.
Review 73:Letting a group of let's say "country folk" put a cooler on the ledge of pool filled with beer and vodka. Then to have them smoking, spitting sunflower seeds an pistachios while pouring their vodka cranberry and red bulls forced me to take my boy to the beach the rest of our day. I'm voming back to Daytona ghis Friday for a night on the way home, but I booked elsewhere.
Review 74:Pool area, view from room, parling.
Review 75:the pool shut down on Saturday afternoon to be shocked should've been done at night not during the busiest time .. the towels are of the cheapest version of towels they could find .. bring your own beach towels ppl ..
Review 76:The view was AWESOME... we had a beach front patio there is a tiki bar at the pool area .. the pool was good other than they shut the pool and bar down on Saturday afternoon till 10:45 to shock the pool ... this was an inconvenience to us
Review 77:I had a room with a kitchen and had to call the front desk as there were no pots and pans and no can opener but they were brought to the room. There were not adequate dishes for what we needed and it would have been nice to have 4 chairs at the table instead of just 2 as there were 4 people in the room.
Review 78:We arrived early and were able to check in early. Room was clean. The people at the front desk were very helpful when I asked for items that were not in the room. we had a great time and everyone we dealt with was very helpful.
Review 79:Could have a better shower head
Review 80:The manager "Monica" was spot on when Booking.com was misleading. The desk attendant was super nice and helpful. Our change of room was definitely what I wanted.
Review 81:When we walked in the room it was kind of stuffy. Light sometimes worked in bathroom, door knob on bathroom door was hanging and not tight. They could also use a good exterminator. I would pay a little more and stay someplace else
Review 82:Could use paint in a couple areas, stairwell doors for example.
Review 83:The staff was just fantastic. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A very relaxing experience.
Review 84:The only complaint I can think of is that the WiFi was non existent and we didn't get to choose a room facing the beach, we got put in a room on the side of the hotel and had a city view and a side view of the beach.
Review 85:My husband and I took a last minute trip to Daytona at the end of May and had a great time. This isn't a super fancy hotel so if you're looking for the Ritz it'll fall short but its great for the budget. The hotel location is wonderful, right on the beach and in the middle of all the shops. Check in isn't until later in the day but we got there at 9 and were able to check right in with no problems. There was a little kitchen in the room which was a nice surprise because we were only expecting a mini fridge and a microwave. There's also a great little tiki bar by the pool, they play music later in the day which was great for hanging out at night.
Review 86:The only real negative event that happened was the room next to us. The couple staying there were fornicating rather loudly from around midnight until 330am when we Called the front desk. It was resolved quickly.
Review 87:I liked the pool and hot tub. The deck area was nice also and they had music playing most of the day until around 10 at night.
Review 88:Me and my whole family enjoyed our stay. It is conviently located in front of a shopping plaza, great ocean view from my hotel room plus great beach access
Review 89:The AC in our room leaked water and the carpet was always wet around the bed nearest the AC and the sliding glass doors were extremely hard to open and close
Review 90:Right on beach Went out and had a flat tire the maintance staff came right away and helped me
Review 91:Unfortunately the hotel is in need of a facelift the room ceiling around the windows water stains above the windows cracked and pealing paint and plaster. Dining room booths material ripped and in very poor shape, breakfast food very greasy and over cooked, John the waiter very pleasant.
Review 92:Tiki bar thumbs up.
Review 93:Not handicapped accessable. My son who is 8 in a wheelchair was not ableto get around well, no access to beach for him.Dirty sheets, found oldnasty hat under pillow area.
Review 94:The AC was broken and they would not give us another room with working AC. The stove was rusted and barely standing, I was scared to use it. The beds were very uncomfortable, like sleeping on a brick and the pillows were very flat.
Review 95:It was nice to be right on the beach with a pool also available.
Review 96:Wifi did not work, older decor,
Review 97:Pool is nice, location, parking, hot tubs, the nice touch with the towels made up like animals, baskets, etc, lots extra with the kitchen set up,
Review 98:Thereason was partying all hours of the night, could not sleep.security was fighting with people right outside out room. There was rust all over the kitchen appliances. The carpets were so filthy that we had to throw away brand new socks. The hot tubs didn't work. The door to our room had to be forcefully shut.to many things to mention. Would never stay here again
Review 99:The location was great.
Review 100:The handle to our tub had fallen completely off. You could still use is like a wrench but it was ghetto. We had a full kitchen but, not utensils or cookware besides a few coffee cups and plates. The hot tubs were standing room only they were so crowded constantly. The towels were like sandpaper. Our neighbors must have had a prescription for medical marijuana because they were stinking up our whole studio with the stank. My 11 and 5 year old thought there must have been a skunk somewhere.
Review 101:The beach was beautiful! We won't go back to this hotel but, we were grateful to find a last minute room somewhere to spend Mothers Day on the beach.
Review 102:The elevator!!! It took forever to get to you and then we were stuck on in the elevator on a floor for a half hour
Review 103:I loved the staff!!! Had a comedy club for the adults on top floor, which made it nice since it was raining that evening
Review 104:Front and sliding back doors were hard to open and close. A roach was in the bathroom. Very noisy, elevators and rooms had a strange smell to them. Bathroom was extremely small.
Review 105:On the beach
Review 106:Tiki bar closed for repairs over a weekend at busiest time of week, pools always had sand in them and weren't kept very clean and neither were hot tubs, only one hot tub worked properly, some of guests were just not respectful of property itself or even the beach, if ur going to have a laundry room for guests make sure there are more than two washers and dryers and make sure they all work not just one of each or even one. Kitchen should be open for breakfast lunch and dinner, and most other hotels offer complimentary breakfast which would have been a plus. Not much of a menu either. Staff was great and respectful, even maintenance staff was great and respectful. There were non guests parking in parking lot as well to access beach and pools. Unfortunately, until facility and cleanliness as far as pools, and hot tubs and an increase on kitchen menu and restaurant hours go we would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Review 107:location was great, having a pool, kiddie pool, hot tubs, and tiki bar was good. Having a laundry room for guest was good idea.
Review 108:I wasn't aware that an OCEAN VIEW, was only a partial view. That was not explained to me when I booked the room. The roof leaked in the shower and the ac leaked which made my floor soaking wet. I will never stay at this hotel again. This ruined my vacation.
Review 109:Horribly overpriced for the dilapidated "upgraded" suite.There weren't even comforters on the beds! Just sheets and athin little blanket with another sheet on top of it. The balconiesare not private. The front stuff are completely indifferent. Theremote didn't have a back,the batteries were held in byelectrical tape! Beware!
Review 110:It had covered parking.
Review 111:their is a picture of a lounge on here however their was no lounge we were told to go to another hotel for lounge .also tiki bar was not open.
Review 112:location was great
Review 113:The entire facility was dirty. There is a bar located by the pool that played the music very loud until 8 PM. The balconies aren't private and it was hard to relax with all of the loud partying going on.
Review 114:It was right on the beach as advertised.
Review 115:The lack of parking. We had my mother and never had access to a handicapparking space and when we had to use the upper parking there are stairsand no elevator access. The beds were hard and leaning. With two peoplesomeone always felt as if they were falling off the side. Hearing andsmelling our neighbors(bachelor party on one side and marijuana on theother). The room was so small!
Review 116:The view was beautiful. We love upper floors away from everything.
Review 117:The room was dirty. Could not get anything to stay in the electrical outlets - they were worn out. Door to outside balcony would not close completely.Towels were like loofah - cheap and rough. The bed smelled - we had to buy Lysol and Febreeze. Would have changed hotels completely - however we booked online and had paid in full - and could not afford the expense of another hotel. 7:00 am a family in the room above us was standing on balacony screaming at their children who were in the pool.
Review 118:Location is the only thing positive about this hotel.
Review 119:They let us use beach and pool while waiting for our room. Room was comfortable, breakfast was better than Denny's. Staff very nice. Parking was very good.
Review 120:Elevators were slow and sometimes stuck.
Review 121:We loved it!!! Pool was great the tiki bar too. Our housekeeper Melissa was the best ever. So much that next time I wi request the floor she is working !!!
Review 122:Noise no full kitchen paid for it no lifeguards parking in resort area I paid extra for these things and it was totally different from years of coming to your facility
Review 123:The beach
Review 124:BOTH of our hotel room doors broke..in the first room and in the second after our first room's door broke. I enjoyed nothing about this hotel.
Review 125:The maids and one security guard were from Jamaica and had accents. They also didn't seem to mind turning their head the other way.
Review 126:Outdated, needs better maintenance. Small, rough towels. No privacy on balconies, can see people on either side of you.
Review 127:Beach front, large room with kitchen, parking included ( but there is a "resort fee").
Review 128:Nasty very disgusting and very dirty. The hotel was not keep up, the staff was rude and didn't really care about what u had to say. We asked someone to clean our room and no one would come up. The parking is horrible and the whole place was just gross. I would never come back.
Review 129:Dirty, loud, lots of disqusting drunks!
Review 130:The view is the only good thing.. We watched dolphins swim past in the morning and a huge sting ray jumping up out of the water!
Review 131:Found blood on our sheets and when I called the front desk to have them changed they acted like it was no big deal and I was being unreasonable. The towels in the room were filthy. Dead bolt on the door didn't work and the chain was pulled out of the wall so there was no way to lock the door. Found popcorn under the bed and roaches in the kitchen.
Review 132:Cleaning staff were very friendly.
Review 133:The accommodations are definitely older and left something to be desired. It was Spring Break so the rates were abnormally high for the quality of rooms and facilities.
Review 134:The staff was very accommodating and kind. The location was awesome, right on the beach and right across from a large shopping plaza with a grocery store, dollar store, and Beall's. Close to restaurants and activities. Pool was nice.
Review 135:Carpet not cleaned, everything extremely old, roach in bathroom. The structural soundness of the building in question due to massive cracks and fallen out pieces. Does nothing for the feeling of security. Also had someone banging on our door at 2am. They would not give up until my husband yelled at them through the door while I call security..
Review 136:The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant..
