We honeymooned at the Playa Linda in 1992 and have been to the island many times since then, and usually stay at Hyatt or Hilton (formerly Radisson), but when we had the opportunity to buy a week from an owner for a 2 bedroom suite we decided to return. The hotel doesn't seem to have changed much in 30 years with great views and a wonderful location, but it is well-maintained and very clean. Shout out to Pauline - what a lovely lady! The pools are delightful, staff friendly and while some folks admitted to going to the beach at 2/3/4 am to get a palapa (you people are crazy - you're on VACATION) I was able to come down at a reasonable 8 - 8:30 and got a palapa with no issues. Was I first or second row, no, but I really didn't care because even in the first row, people can move chairs closer to the water and block your view. Bingo by the pool was great, very organized and enjoyable. The only negative I can say is, if you're not a "regular" you can feel like an outsider. I felt some "looks" because I was able to secure a spot at the adult pool, apparently not who they were expecting. I understand that the same people come the same time every year for years and years; however, they really did seem a bit entitled. But they are the bread & butter of PL so I do get it.
