Hotel La Playa Blanca

Very nice hotel with an amazing view. We were in the beginning of May and the weather was perfect, good for swimming in the swimming pool. Sea view from the room.

Positives and negatives: beach side with access to the rocky beach. Quiet area, but next to the railway tracks. Without the car it might be difficult to find any transport, long walk uphill to the town. Nice pool, unfortunately they empty it for cleaning reason and remain empty for three days (salt water). Two small parkings, but the only access road is under construction (September 24). Bar and restaurant (dinner overpriced for quality). Lunch available. Breakfast is quite poor and repetitive. Good coffee. Staff is nice and helpful. Room spacious , outdated, and worn equipped with little fridge but air conditioning very loud, we had to turn it off at night. Balcony door with gap when closed, loud inside. The hotel is good for staying overnight but definitely I wouldn't recommend it for a long stay..

We booked an accessible hotel (due to my disability) with a restaurant, evening entertainment and a choice of pools. What we got was a nightmare for me. The restaurant was closed except for breakfast. To buy food elsewhere we needed a car. The parking was about quarter of a mile away (due to drainage works) along a rubble path. Along the path, we had to cross a couple of planks over a 4 foot drop. There were steps to the rooms, steps to the breakfast location; even a step in our bathroom to get to the toilet and shower. Not only was there no entertainment, archery or any of the other activities listed, most of the outdoor lights didn't work or weren't turned on at night. Getting to the car was completely in the dark so I ended up with fall injuries on the rubble pathway. The only pool was so green when we arrived that it had to be drained, washed and refilled, taking a few days. Safety railing had completely rusted away leaving dangerous fall areas. Steps to the beach were seriously unsafe with some steps and railings missing. The 'beach' was mostly bits of stone, rubble and metal that had fallen off the hotel complex. When a fellow guest confronted the owner about an issue, he just said 'not my problem'. Apparently serving moldy food for breakfast is acceptable. Sadly, this was probably a great hotel once. Now it is unsafe, inaccessible and a complete wreck. It needs investment but seems that the latest owner is just running it into the ground for quick profit. In essence, I strongly suggest avoiding this dangerous dump until considerable renovations have taken place.
