Dos Playas by Faranda All Inclusive

The location is perfect. My mom and I weren’t looking for anything perfect, but the rooms are a bit odd and old. We had to change rooms three times. The first one smelled like mold, and the second one had bed bugs!! (I Have pictures) I got bit a couple times, but my mother got bit a tremendous amount of times, started rashing, and she caught the bed bug crawling on her arm, she smacked it and grabbed it and showed it to the front desk. We uncovered the mattress that my mom was laying on and it was ripped on the corners, and the inside was coated with something yellow, it was something to keep the bed bugs away. Overall, the hotel is just dirty and doesn’t care. We also talked to a few other guests and they also got bit. So beware of this hotel!

My recent stay at Dos Playas was profoundly disappointing, falling far short of even modest expectations. **Room Quality:** The rooms were a stark contrast to the appealing images online, featuring an outdated, depressing reddish-brown color scheme and dim yellow lighting. Cleanliness was a significant issue, highlighted by cockroaches on the first day. One on our bed and another in the bathroom. **Beach Condition:** Despite being a beachfront hotel, the beach was poorly maintained, littered with trash and algae. This was in stark contrast to the cleaner shores of nearby hotels. No effort from hotel to keep clean. **Security Concerns:** The lack of an interior lock in the room was a serious security concern. **Misleading Advertising:** The actual room bore little resemblance to the advertised pictures. The management acknowledged the discrepancy but offered no resolution. **Furniture Quality:** Even basic furniture like the desk was sticky and poorly maintained. **Value for Money:** For the price, the quality was extremely lacking. Another hotel at a similar price offered far superior accommodations. **Beach Accessibility and Amenities:** Despite its beachfront location, I cannot recommend this hotel. The beach itself had very limited seating, with only a few chairs available and at an exorbitant rental fee of 500 to 1,000 pesos a day, unlike other hotels that offer this for free with ample availability. There was also a notable lack of shade, making it difficult to enjoy the beach comfortably. In summary, Dos Playas was a letdown in nearly every aspect, from room quality to beach amenities. There are undoubtedly better options in the area, even if it means sacrificing a direct beach view(not that youll enjoy it here)
