The hotel offers a mix of experiences. The seafood restaurant is delightful, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable, but the service lacks organization, and the facilities show signs of wear. The beach is rugged, making it less ideal for new swimmers, and some areas need significant upkeep.

My stay at this resort left much to be desired. While the pools and beach were nice, the rooms were an absolute letdown, feeling old and not at all luxurious. The dining was repetitive and lacked quality, with long waits during peak times. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a seamless vacation experience.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing overall. The room was spacious and had a nice view, but the cleanliness was lacking and the service was not up to par. Dining options were limited and many facilities closed too early, making it challenging to enjoy our time without encountering issues. It felt more like a mediocre motel than a resort, which was quite frustrating given the price.

My experience at this resort was less than ideal. The rooms were not kept clean and had several issues, including a lack of hot water and broken amenities. The service was limited, and it felt like the staff was more focused on local guests. Despite being in a nice location, I wouldn't recommend staying here due to the poor accommodations and overall lack of value for money.

My stay at Playa Blanca was mixed. The beachfront location is stunning and offers casual beach living at a fair price. However, I noticed the entertainment options for adults were lacking and the upkeep of the resort needs improvement. While I had a pleasant interaction with Jose at the reception, the overall service fell short of my expectations.

Rooms
5.0
I was disappointed with the room I received. Although we booked a king room with a beach view, we were given a double bed and had to fight for a change.
Service
5.0
The service was inconsistent. While Jose at the reception was incredibly helpful, the administration seemed dismissive when we raised issues about our room.
Location

The location is beautiful, right on a gorgeous beach, but the lack of amenities nearby diminished the experience.
Dining

Dining was not great. I noticed that the food seemed recycled from one meal to the next, which was quite unappetizing.
Facilities

The facilities were below expectations. The pool and grounds were in evident deterioration, which was disappointing for a resort.
