Was there for 2 weeks. Having come to Playitas many times the past 10 years, I was looking forward to seeing the results of the much needed renovation of the common areas and especially the apartments. A mixed pleasure. The apart buffet restaurant is really nicely done! Buffet area is much larger and really appealing. Looking forward to seeing the new roof terrace that they were still working on. New tiles around the pool look nice and are less slippery than the old. Nice that all buildings will soon be white and no longer shades of cream. Reception is cool and airy, and better configured than before. The one-room apartments are more successfully renovated than the two-room. Both have some of the same weird changes that are in fact not an improvement: full-length mirror removed, no "hallway" furniture for your shoes/keys/jacket/etc anymore, kitchen is new but very badly configured with no natural space for the food items you buy. Still no small icebox in the refrigerator. Bathrooms look updated but I don't get the way they are done where a shower using any soap products will cause semi-flooding of the bathroom floor. The old toilets have been re-used in the "new" bathrooms, even with the original seats... We stayed in a two-room apartment which was better before the renovation (stayed in the exact same one the year before, easy to compare) in spite of the dated colours/materials. New laminate flooring throughout, the wall between the entrance and the kitchen has been removed, new TVs (one is a smart TV with built-in Chromecast). The second bedroom/"living room" is so bare that we thought it wasn't finished; a closet, a bed, and a small table. That's it in a large room. The low wall that used to have plenty of space to put smaller items and had loads of electrical outlets is gone. You get one electrical outlet, no bedside lamps (only horrible ceiling fixtures that can only be switched on from the middle of the room???), and nowhere but the closet for your stuff. Not a single peg to hang anything or a surface other than the floor to put anything. The "beds" are weirdly plastic covered mattresses with a flimsy 5mm top "mattress", no extra pillows and no real feeling of being beds - rather a temporary cot or "sleeping on a friend's sofa" for a week or two. Not OK when the apartment is sold as suitable for 4 adults! You really feel like you got the wrong end of the stick if you get that room and your travel mates the other. The "master bedroom" does have a semi-wall to put your stuff, built-in USB + electrical outlets. The beds are on wheels and very rickety. As are the reading lamps which will switch on unprovoked in the middle of the night (weird/bad electrical installations). The sliding patio doors still need to be forcefully pulled open/shut. Honestly, I was really disappointed in the apartments! They used to be dated looking but functional/practical. Now they look more contemporary but lost all charm and convenience. If the goal of th
