Playa Vik Jose Ignacio

Disappointing! Play Vik has the perfect location and the architecture is really spectacular in this particular setting. However, the hotel really needs lots of TLC. It is looking VERY tired. Outdoor and indoor sofas need to be re-uphostered and or cleaned. Screens need to be changed. The plaster from our sink was broken. The corner of the vanity was damaged by water and the veneer peeling … Need i say more? (I have take photos). No bathrobes in the room which is too sparsely furnished. Chair in our room needs to be cleaned or re-upholstered too. No coffee machines are provided in the room although we did ask for one and they did provide one for us in the end as breakfast starts at 8:00am! We were very few guests at the hotel but staff was not particularly attentive. Food was okay. Compared to other international hotels of the same category it failed to meet epectations in both service and property.

We’ve had an amazing experience at CieloMar restaurant, at Play Vik hotel. Food is gorgeous, the views are incredible, and the architecture is out of this world! Prices are reasonable and according to their service and quality. We’ll certainly be back! ♥️

I have very mixed feelings about this place. The good : Great location, Futuristic design of hotel with attention to detail in furniture etc Spacious suites with floor to ceiling windows, Right on the beach, Infinity pool with exceptional sunsets over it, Staff members work hard and try to meet your needs. The bad: Limited staff means important areas like reception are often left unattended. There is refurbishment works as soon as you walk in so access to main building is tricker and also it’s not aesthetically pleasing to constantly see the construction. In our 1,000$ a night suite, the aircon didn’t work and the heating couldn’t be switched off so it got to the point that we were sweating in a 28 degree room and had to stay in the room with the front door open to let air in. The second night our blackout blinds were disabled by the staff without anyone informing us. They tried to get them to work but unsuccessfully and I asked how we are meant to sleep without them and the reply was « oh it’s ok, the sun doesn’t come up until 8am ». I thought that was a strange reply so I looked and the sunrise time was just before 6. And even if it WERE two hours later, for guests who are paying 1,000 a night, there should be no excuse for not being able to close the blinds. In the end, they found a room next door (with working blinds and a working aircon) which we moved into for the last night. The gym has very old rusty equipment which needs changing asap. Details in the rooms and hotel itself need some TLC- scuffing/ peeling paint/ dirty windows… just general neglect. Food was not great. Especially breakfast which only had toasted bread at the « buffet » and the only thing you can request from the kitchen is eggs. For the price you are paying, a full menu would be nice. Also « cacio and Pepe pasta » is NOT plain pasta with a side of parmesan… Overall, the hotel is gorgeous and location is stunning but I really wish the owners/ management would be more present to make it feel less neglected. I’ve put photos of both the good and the bad.

Had very nice and enjoyable time

The staff
