Comments from B.tardif on Hotel Playa Blanca :

When booking this hotel, it is very important to know what part of the hotel we will be. Prncipal building rooms are noisy. This is what we had. But once arrived, we found that there are charming bungalows to the east and west of the main building, overlooking the sea and the beach. The location of the room makes all the difference here. Excellent food and service. Almost all staff speak French. If you want to be without fellow Quebecers, this is not the place to go, because Quebecers and Italians seem to be the main clientele of the hotel. The beach is superb. Advised to rent a moped ($ 20 for one day) and visit the marina, but above the Playa Paraiso, dream place where few people go. Warning: There is a beach where nudism is allowed. This may please or not, but it is ubiquitous, as are the tourists who seem to give gays go to this hotel. A week is enough because there is nothing else to do the beach.

Positive :

The sand and sea paradise.

Negative :

Noisy depending on the location of the room.

Comments from Richard on Hotel Playa Blanca :

A favorite for beach palapas always free before 8:30, the rooms are very clean despite the age. The employees are very nice and smiling and never waiting for tips. There were not enough red and white wine on certain days during our stay. Could have more choice in food but you get used. He still pizzas, chips, pasta, salads and BBQ for the most difficult.

Positive :

Near the airport, beaches, cleanliness and the catamaran excursion pm ($ $)

Negative :

Food average, fail to red and white wine some day. Poor performance, lack of chairs at the pool.

Comments from Suzanne on Hotel Playa Blanca :

After reading all the positive feedback from people on the hotel side only 3 1/2 but it seemed that was extraordinary and the opinion of several return there even 5 days 10 or 12 times, I wanted to see for myself even if this jewel jewel there is ... Yes it's true people are friendly especially the waiters / waitresses but it can become a little too certains.Exemple families for the second meal with the same waitress it we literally jumped at the neck pick up for us and embrace us euhh! ! a little too familiar and too fast for me. But my opinion EST some may appreciate. for the food is repetitive and a la carte menus are not at the level I've been better for the same price. I would give in against a good mark for the pasta bar and having a service with freshly squeezed juice some fruits of our choice .. Please note, only the buffet restaurant is inside all others are to, outside what can be a disadvantage on the evenings when he froid.Parfois missing products. The week we were there or they have missed of wine on one week then we do not have had that for only 2 dinners it was very disappointing. The beach is super nice and quiet this long is total freedom and they are many palapas available. We must go to another beach for some water sports equipment since there are none at the hotel. We were disappointed on the catamaran trip that we had paid. Visited the site we have offered a fishing boat in place because they said that the catamaran was broken but I have the impression that they have canceled because they do not have enough participants ... I would have liked to know before! It was impossible to have a compensation ... Overall I would say that those who do not like change and who searches for something more "family" is a good place but nothing more.

Positive :

The beach, the freedom, the friendliness of the people who work there.

Negative :

the rehearsal of the food menus in the regular card. The lack of certain foods.

Comments from M.anctil on Hotel Playa Blanca :

If you want to relax this is the best place! because there is no real business to do at the hotel. We were not lucky side beach, the sea was so rough that we could not swim as well as s, at the beach because the waves were coming close to chikis. For staff, they were very nice to us. Side restaurant is famous not unless you like a fish. On balance I would not stay at the hotel to Playa Blanca but the golden age of ca may be the perfect place.

Positive :

Nice weather

Negative :

restoration

Comments from Daniel Theoret on Hotel Playa Blanca :

Positive :

The staff was perfectly cheerful, smiling and friendly The food was varied and good without the rooms very clean and maid service every day. The beach the water was an exceptional color paradise. The beaches and sirena paraiso a must see. The site very own animation ordinary place to rest is perfect.

Negative :

The only negative comment is to descend the stairs to the beach is very dangerous no n at the same height so be careful not great but the pool with a beach like this one not really need a pool. So if you need more monies on the site no bank should go to the bank eh village other than that I wish you the best vacation place to do some 2 times

Comments from jacques-t on Hotel Playa Blanca :

Positive :

Beautiful tropical hotel well kept. Attentive staff, friendly and multilingual. Buffet and well stocked. White sand beaches and turquoise waters, clear and warm. Naturist section clearly marked and without any pretension - gays and straights couples of all ages live together without problems. The hotel beach is beautiful, but you also go to the beach Paradiso. No seller on the beaches. Large, clean rooms. No loud music around the pool during the day, if not a few ads and animated games that last, anyway, not very long. An ideal place to relax without worry. We were fortunate to have three bedrooms in the main building frontage side of the hotel rather than the pool and the beach (where it can be a little noisier, especially at night because performances), the sight of the jungle is just beautiful. All noise ceases at 23 h. This hotel will meet the expectations of those seeking tranquility and serenity with the added bonus of lovely evening shows.

Negative :

Uneven quality of food, warm and often - there are some very good dishes and some that may leave something to be desired, simply choose well and, when in doubt, think veggie! Light plumbing problems in the bathrooms - obsolescence of moving parts in general: malfunctioning plugs sink and tub, faucet handles, the mechanism that activates shower. The shuttle (train) to go to the beaches and Sirena Paradiso fills up quickly, takes between 30 and 45 minutes to get to and is very uncomfortable - especially on the back of last car (to avoid at all costs). Counsel, rather take the colletivo (taxi, two pesos per passenger), much more comfortable and faster.

Comments from Lili Du Saguenay on Hotel Playa Blanca :

Positive :

We made several trips and believe me there is value for money very well the staff is incredibly kind as we have rarely seen elsewhere, they are all smiling and fun, the food is great and the beaches are of extraordinary beauty. Remember to be excurtion catamaran which departs at 2 hrs, the lobster that we are served is super good. We met very nice people like Elise, Philippe and his wife Richard and we enjoyed ourselves despite the quiet. So do not rely on the same negative comment like that martin should stop traveling or pay a bit more and go for a 5 star critiqueux and whiners for nothing. short we will definitely return.

Negative :

The beach is famous for naturists so those who are not comfortable with ca abstain. The lack of chairs at the beach is unpleasant but hey there are worse things in life, what we are on vacation. HAVE FUN
