Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Playa Hermosa?
The best areas to stay in Playa Hermosa are along the main beach road or in the hills just behind it.

The main beach road, known as Route 158, runs parallel to the Pacific Ocean and is where you'll find most of the hotels, restaurants, and shops. It's a relaxed, linear stretch, making it easy to stroll along the beach or pop into a cafe. This area is superb for couples looking for direct beach access and convenience. You can wake up and be on the sand in moments, with sunset views from many properties.

For families, staying slightly inland in the hills offers a quieter experience with beautiful views. These properties often provide more space, privacy, and amenities like private pools. While not directly on the beach, most are only a short drive or an easy walk away, offering a good balance between beach proximity and a more secluded setting.
When is the best time to go to Playa Hermosa?
The best time to go to Playa Hermosa is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

This period offers consistent sunshine and very little rain, making it superb for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities. The Pacific Ocean waters are generally calm and clear during these months, ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding. You'll find the weather reliably warm, often in the high 20s to low 30s Celsius, with comfortable humidity levels.

For couples seeking a relaxing escape, the dry season provides the superb conditions for romantic sunsets and uninterrupted beach days. Many of the beachfront restaurants and hotels are fully operational, offering a wide range of dining experiences right by the water. It's also a good time for boat trips to nearby islands for snorkelling or diving without worrying about choppy seas.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate the dry season. The calm waters are great for younger swimmers, and the lack of rain means more dependable outdoor playtime.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
