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 loved our 3 night stay at Playa Vik. We checked in late and Nat the manager made it so smooth. The property is remarkably set on the bay and seamlessly blending into its location, not disrupting the sleepy old fishing village vibe. The important art installed in the main building is visually and intellectually stimulating as is the library off the main dining room. We also enjoyed the other two properties, Bahia and Estancia Vik. It was the cerise Sur Le gateau of our trip to Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.
I did not like the policy of adding a tip to all areas of the bill
Why pay a tip for buying a sweater in the shop
I had to ask for a manual adjustment
Otherwise a fantastic place with great staff
