Wivc Casa de la Playa

Great staff, good location. Enjoy beach location. Close to shopping and restaurants and entertainment. On level ground so great for walking to shop and enjoy the area. Clean and well kept. Have stayed there numerous times over the past 14 years. Always exceptionable service.

First let me say that the staff, while small, rates a ten and the location of the “resort” – in El Centro, right on Playa Camarones (shrimp beach), and about four blocks from the Malecon -- is at least a nine. A decent grocery store (Lay’s) is about two blocks away and the lack of timeshare salespersons was a pleasant plus. There are many places to catch a bite to eat nearby, although the higher rated restaurants are a good walk away. Casa de la Playa is tiny – only three one bedroom and four two bedroom units, all of which overlook Playa Camarones and the bay. The views of the sunsets were outstanding. I stayed in a two bedroom, two bathroom unit (4A) at Casa de la Playa the week of April 9 to 16, 2022 – a Spring Break weekend and Playa Camarones was quite busy. There was an elevator with glass siding that looked out on the pool, Playa Camarones, and bay. The unit had a narrow, but full length, balcony overlooking the pool/spa area, Playa Camarones, and the bay. It had two folding chairs and a small side table. I most stood up when using the balcony.The bedrooms were on the small side, had irregular wall angles, and the bathrooms were very tiny. Both bathrooms had a small stand alone sink, a cramped toilet, and a small tiled shower. They were clean and functional, although the floor tiles in the showers of both bathrooms had some discoloring. The master bedroom had a Mexican-firm queen bed while the second bedroom had two single beds. Both bedrooms had a single dresser, adequate closet space, and a small safe. One issue with the bathroom was that only once was the water warm enough to comfortably shower. Other than the one time, even with only the hot water turned on, the water temperature was tap water cool. The shower stall was rather small, but I was able to use without banging my elbows. The unit had a small combined kitchen/dining/living room with an excellent view of Playa Camarones and the bay. The kitchen area had little counter space for food preparation and near zero room for food storage. The small gas oven had four burners, but they were close enough together that I could only fit a frying pan and one other pot on the stove top at the same time. There also was a microwave for cooking. There is a BBQ in the pool area that I used all but two days I was there. It was kept clean, functioned well, and I was always the only one using it when I did my cooking. The refridgerator was small, but adequate for my usage, and they included a large bottle of water, which was a nice touch. It did not have an ice maker, but the freezer came with four ice cube trays.There were plenty of pots and pans and implements for cooking, about enough plates and silver ware for eight, a blender, a coffee maker, tea kettle, etc. The unit lacked a dishwasher or clothes washer and dryer. The unit did have modern and well functioning air conditioners in each bedroom and in the kitchen/dining/living room. The round dining room table came with five padded chairs in go

I enjoyed our week stay in this timeshare property that we traded through Interval. It is such a small property right on the beach and close to Centro and the RZ.The room is a bit dated but it did not matter it was so well maintained and had a small and private patio.We enjoyed 2 afternoons on the beach with chairs and umbrellas the have at the front desk . The staff is very friendly and helpful with things we needed and information.
