“In Playa Blanca, this newly opened property aims for a modern experience, appealing to both vacationing couples and families, though some aspects require refinement. I noted that while the facilities are fresh and contemporary-with good dining options and wellness amenities-the service standards need some attention, particularly at reception. Overall, the hotel shows great promise but would benefit from more operational polish.”

a mixed experience

modern room heated pool bathroom privacy shower shelf

i found the rooms to be modern and nicely done to a high standard. the pool was really big with a heated and unheated side, which i found good (the heated pool was really a bonus).

the open-plan bathroom lacked privacy. the shower also lacked a shelf, so i had to put my products on the floor.
