Playa Blanca resorts

Pros: Having stayed here three times previously we knew what to expect and once again it was excellent.

Cons: The property is tucked away at the end of the promenade and it is so quite.

Pros: Fantastic property , great location , worth the upgrade to royal elite . We have stayed many times here .

Pros: I adored the resort, the pools and bars were exceptional and the entertainment was really fun for everybody kids, families older people and us a couple in early 30s, I had a lovely massage in the spa and the outdoor hot tub is fantastic- loved the food ! And the entertainment team are fantastic

Pros: Lovely hotel, enjoyed the all inclusive option, fabulous stay

Pros: The rooms were clean, the food was great with plenty of choice. All very good value as all food, wine, beer etc are included. Walks and tours from the hotel were very good as well. We took the Cesar Manrique on Wed and short South tour on Sat which were excellent. No need for smart clothes for dinner. Staff kind and cheerful.

Cons: The wifi was very intermittent. Bring towels for the pool/beach.

Pros: all food good, ecellent or ok at worst. pool was being repaired; seating round it ok; liked the big recliners. can't say more.

Cons: lighting on path to rooms from restaurant was focussed straight into your eyes. so we got dazzled.

Pros: Very helpful friendly staff fab food and perfect location

Cons: Location

Pros: Not a lot

Cons: There was a smell of sewerage around the gym and spa. Made these facilities unusable. Only the small pool was available. Understand this was just after the sandstorm, but all other hotels along the seafront had the pools up and running. Restaurant is too small. For breakfast and lunch it works fine. But in the evening when people like to sit down a little longer. The restaurant is then full from 7:30 onwards. The staff do there best to try and seat people, but people are often told to come back in 15 minutes. On one occasion we didn’t get a table till 8:45, the restaurant closes at 9pm. So not a lot of choice left and hardly any desserts. Upon complaining about these issues. I was told, please bare in mind that this hotel is only a 3 star and maybe beyond my expectations.

Pros: Likedthepeaceandquiet.Foodwasabundantandperfect.staffwereveryhelpfulandhardworking.

Pros: Loved the simplicity and intimate nature being a small complex

Cons: No complaints we had a wonderful break

Pros: Being able to stroll to the café and relax

Pros: A small and quiet place to stay, just what we were looking for. The heated pool was lovely but needed attention, very slippery around the top. Food was good and varied. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Will be back.

Cons: Don’t like smoking directly outside the restaurant as the smell drifts inside. Unfortunately the only heated pool was closed for our last 4 days but we were offered a free taxi to the Sandos Papagayo to spend the day or we could have been relocated there so we took up the first option. There was grinding of fibreglass around the pool and dust flying around, not good!

Pros: It is clean, within easy walk from the sea, with good food and friendly staff.

Cons: Relaxing (no children)

Pros: Location and friendly staff

Pros: Friendly waiters and bar staff and friendly animation. The lady chefs provided much better meals.

Cons: Had to rent a hairdryer and pay for bottled water. Had to rent the safe. Kettle was unsafe and had to be changed. Boiler sprang a leak four days into the holiday, but was changed within two hours so that was good. Had to pay deposits for each of the following: hairdryer, safe, towels, airconditioning. No games equipment to borrow. Animation equipment was old and didn't work properly. Room was not cleaned regularly enough. Was not properly clean when we arrived (dusty and sinks not clean). Bathroom towels were threadbare and one even had a hole. Very little choice of food and not very thought out as often the meat did not have the correct accompaniments. (For example, curry was served, but no rice). Also, the food was constantly luke warm. (I'm suprised that people weren't constantly having poorly tummies). Snacks were supposed to be available in the afternoon, but most days the choice was one type of cake with no other option. There were never any puddings or cakes on offer at lunch time. (Only available in the evening or at breakfast). Tiles on the bathroom wall were disintegrating and falling apart. All in all the place is very tired and in need of a revamp. It's also in the middle of nowhere and there is very little to do.

Pros: The location was stunning, we like to get away from the big resorts and towns, so it was great for us. We could get up and do some beautiful runs along the coast with the waves crashing against the shore, just stunning! The villas were fine for us as a family of 4. Two decent bedrooms and nice and quiet. Not very well stocked so don’t expect to self cater! The pool was a treat, as it was heated which is a treat around here! It wasn’t warm, but it was heated so the kids could stay in for an hour without getting freezing!

Cons: The worst thing about the hotel is the food. The food was boring and really not very nice, but worse was that the restaurant feels really unhygienic (and we’ve travelled all over the world, so we’re not fussy people!). My husband and son both got sick during our stay (we were only there for 4 nights!), of course this may not have been the restaurant, but we’re pretty sure it was as we didn’t eat anywhere else! We are not the kind of people who need to be ‘entertained’ so the constant badgering to get involved in games / karaoke was really annoying! The guy was pleasant enough, and he’s obviously paid to get people involved, but we really just wanted to be left alone.

Pros: The bed was comfy but cold

Cons: Its dirty the place is literally worn out and dated the apartment is very cold at night the bathroom absolutely stank rotten and there was a gaping gap in the bedroom between the wall and roof . This place has fabulous potential but badly needs financial investment.

Cons: Food

Cons: the food selection wasn't great. there was no music round the pool or of an evening apart from in the hits bar from 9.30pm. the drinks were definitely watered down. the lighting in the room was terrible. wifi isnt included and is very overpriced. the chill out bar wasnt open on any of the multiple occasions we walked round no matter what time it was. the staff were not friendly

Pros: Spacious semi-detached villa. Nice terrace with sun beds and chairs. Number 3 had sea views. We felt that it was very good value for money. Food was limited and not great,however we would stay here again.

Cons: Catering was uninspired , but having said that, we did not go hungry and the red and white wine were acceptable.

Pros: loved the location and how big the villas are. We had a seaview one which was a moment's walk to get to the prom outside. Superb for sunset watching.

Cons: more vegetables please.

Pros: Very clean & well maintained

Cons: Food very poor standard
