- Resort-style 'Playa at the Maya' man-made beach with fire pits
Shikim i shpejtë: A former DoubleTree trying to find its soul as an independent boutique hotel while undergoing major surgery.
Rishikuar nga @Askfoodb: I spent a weekend at Hotel Maya and it was the perfect local escape. The outdoor lounge with those daybeds is incredible, and I loved watching the boats from my room. It feels like a tropical resort right in Long Beach.

Reality check
Thin walls mean you will hear your neighbor's conversation and the wedding DJ blasting until midnight.
- You are cruising out of Long Beach (Carnival terminal is next door)
- You want a pool day with a view rather than a city exploration trip
- You are traveling with a dog (very pet-friendly with ground floor access)
