Prior to our trip the communication was appreciated. Daniel, our concierge, was so easy to work with. I began receiving texts from the moment we landed. That same communication continued all week long. He made sure to check in throughout the day. Even on his day off he asked if he could do anything for us. Enrique was our setver when dining. He knew our namesand greeted us always with a smile. On our last day he arranged beautiful table for us. He treated us as family. Make sure to meet him and ask for him by name. The room and property were amazing. Staff takes care of your every need. This is the place to stay in Playa del Car
