Comments from lmoreau on Hotel Playa Blanca :

We went two times to Playa Blanca in November. Report, quality, price = good buy

Positive :

Site clean, modest food but never ill, it can make good meal as bad (for us), friendly and courteous staff, very clean room (hint: if you are comfortable with this practice, made like us, the room cleaning for 2 days only, this is enough.

Negative :

Pool neglected, would benefit from being restored. The beach may disappear completely if a strong wind but daily travel takes us on two of the most beautiful beaches in Cuba, so even if it is negative, we can find the positive side. Have a good trip!

Comments from bernierlouise on Hotel Playa Blanca :

The ad last visit 2011-11-20 2011-11-27. My fourth trip to Cayo Largo and I'm still in love with the island's beaches are so beautiful. On my last trip to Playa Blanca, I have had odor problems in my room. I met is bound for Sol Caribe and I explained the situation. Asked pesos to be able to change rooms, but at the request of the representative, they went to visit my room and have deduced that my request was justified. I was then moved to another room and no additional cost. (In my book, I specified that I wanted to be housed on the 2nd floor of a bungalow, which had not been met). Everything went very well done. Bring your umbrella, it's easy and can make things easier if the palapas are not available.

Positive :

Temperature superb. Excellent service, both at the buffet on Ranchon lunchtime. The staff is always smiling. Ate very well and I do not get sick. I love this place. People at reception are very nice and courteous. I still have the urge to go back soon.

Negative :

Access to the beach has become very difficult in the last days of our vacation. The sea has eaten up most of the descent and we had to go through the rocks for us to make palapas ... but that is not the fault of the hotel. They have done well to help us get to the beach. One of us broke a toe in the rocks ... There is always the solution to go to Serenas but take a taxi, it's cheap and quick + then it stirs a lot less. Also, there are not many palapas, but we took our umbrella and our mattresses blown ... more comfortable on the chairs. Bring your stuff to mosquitoes ... there are quite a few.

Comments from pepereski on Hotel Playa Blanca :

If you are looking for long enlignements plastic chairs and bar service on the beach, you made a bad choice! A travel agent would have told you that ...

Positive :

But if you enjoy a boardwalk semi-private, which leads to sandstone slabs placed one meter above the turquoise sea or if you are looking for the best naturist beaches in the Americas, then you've made the right choice! !

Negative :

You will understand that everything on this remote island of sand is a little more rustic. That said, personally I would rate this hotel 3.5 stars. There is no beach directly in front of the hotel, but we discovered a very nice after a march of four minutes. However the design of public spaces is casual, the food is just ok and the BAR is a little gloomy. By cons, if it's cheaper, then there is very clean and very correct!

Comments from denjea on Hotel Playa Blanca :

The hotel in general was as I expected. clean and cleaned every day. The rooms were quite large, well air conditioned and balcony big enough. But you could hear doors slamming voisines.La food was good point. The beach of white sand was rough and the water was too high which made sure to make it too short. The water hit the small cliff at that time. The pools were good and hold evening activities were fun. The rating of 4 stars is ok.

Negative :

only a bar,,,

Comments from agente_007 on Hotel Playa Blanca :

Amazing trip. Great encounters. If I compare to another four stars from Cuba where I went in February (Tryp Cayo Coco) I'd say it's more a 3 star and a half. But my friends and I loved our trip anyway. And if not my idea of ??never returning when I am already gone I would go back ... We have not had the chance to have a beach but the beach nudist'' to'' not kkes the hotel is very nicely. (Y missing was a bar nearby). Playa Sirena was beautiful and what about Playa Paraiso ... Beautiful ... I have read many good comments about the staff how they are friendly ... I have not found anything to the contrary often regular at the bar of the theater, but also not unfriendly either ... it was just okay.

Positive :

I had a room at the Hotel and it was very good. My daughter had a boyfriend for ds bedroom bungalows and it was very good too. I have been to two restaurants (either in the same place at ranchon) and it was not only very good but the service was impecable. Otherwise the bar of the theater is 24 hrs, alleluia. haha

Negative :

Side buffet I found ordinary ca. The pasta is excellent but otherwise there is not much variety ... c is on that early October and few people at the hotel so probably has an impact ca ... Otherwise the spa was not heated and the week was even more bad days ... c damage. Big lack of activity (c on which I compare with the pe Tryp)

Comments from julielemay on Hotel Playa Blanca :

We went a semaime August 19, 2011. The sea was very warm and bcp wave. The soft white sand with the flour. It is true that it is not very wide but that's okay.

Positive :

Friendly staff, lots speaks French. Pasbcp waiting at the snack bar and main bar. Bcp insect (I still stings a week after my return). Flies were everywhere on the food at the buffet, the stifling humidity. The rooms are needed renovation, the action does not founissait in the room. A tiny store with outrageous prices. Very disappointing by comparison with Cayo Coco. Never Cayo Largo.

Comments from JMGuib on Hotel Playa Blanca :

Gran Caribe Playa Blanca (Formerly Barcelo) Beautiful beach and unforgettable stay.

Positive :

Of January 27 on February 3 2011, Beautiful and Hot. Site clean, quiet and safe. Dedicated and smiling staff. Beautiful white sandy beach out of sight and easy walking. Beautiful shades of Blue sea food good and varied. Room clean, comfortable and quiet. Remember to bring your wipes. Finally a place that is bent on selling you memories whether on the beach and off the site .... Although the funny little train (40 min.) Ns which leads to two other magnificent white sand beaches, free. Free water sports, we did a little kayaking and catamaran, very nice). Excursion by Catamaran, Dolphins, Turtles Site, A Marina (excellent pizza and drink) and a low cost, small museum not far and few souvenir kiosks. We'll be back for 10 days for 7 days is too short.

Negative :

Glaring lack of chairs and palapas on the site (Beach and Swimming) ... Lack of chairs to two other beaches ..... No, this is totally unacceptable, from 7:15 am, there are more chairs free, we take the Bus and Taxi to the same situation two other beaches. It does not take a vacation Wed Sun beach to lie on a towel ds sand. Lack of access (gateway) safe to go to the beach. The wooden footbridge (located in the center of the site) to get to the beach is not wide enough and it needs repair. That is suitable to the east, however, the other to the west is dangerous.
