Hl Club Playa Blanca Hotel

Joanne Grant

Bungalow is nice. No tea or coffee available in the rooms though. Food is excellent, good variety and plenty of it. We arrived at 4pm very hungry and after a long day of travelling couldn’t get any food til 6pm when the restaurant opened. WiFi costs extra. Security deposit/safe in the room costs extra. Pool towels are a €15 deposit. Drinks after 11pm costs extra even though we are all inclusive. Gym is superb. Location is wonderful. The place is heaving with feral screaming adults and their kids. It’s like Butlins with Ugg boots, faketan, leopard skin and vapes galore. There are cigarette ends in the plant pots and half eaten sandwiches floating in the pool. It seems acceptable for some to wander round in pyjamas and no bra while puffing on a cig and yelling TYLARRRRRRR across the pool area. Tyler is currently beating a local cat with a pool noodle. If you’re after a nice hotel with good food and in a great location but with “The Sun” [newspaper] holiday vouchers feel to it, then this is it 👍🏻

Just back today would i return, Absolutely NOT! The hotel is gorgeous the grounds are fabulous. Hotel is only a 10 minute walk to main town. We paid 6000 for two weeks all inclusive 2 adults 4 children, the food was awful my kids lived off plain pasta pizza and chips. The staff that worked cooking the food and cleaners in the food area are great workers couldn’t fault how hard they work and they’re really nice but major changes need to happen with food. We ate out every day! The cleaners for the rooms are lazy and dirty id have to ring and request towels and fresh bedding, bins where left stacked out side for two days I had to ring for them to be removed, floors never washed or swept. The entertainment for the kids was ok the lads where so nice always went above and beyond to greet you, the bar lads where quite rude the cocktails where cheap and to sweet. It’s such a shame because the hotel could be amazing if they made changes. Playa Blanca was not a place for us in general and we would not return.

Have just returned from a brilliant holiday here! Lovely resort set up, with the chalets being ideal for what our family needed. Kids entertainment was great for our 2 year old and our 10 year old came in and out of it when he wanted. Staff were all so friendly and helpful, and couldn't fault them. Loved the food, thought the choice was really varied. 2 of the 3 kids can't have dairy, but there was enough there for them still. The gym was one of the best I've seen in a resort! Short walk into town and the beach. Regret booking the waterpark as I thought it was closer. Was a 20 minute bus ride to another hotel, but a 10 minute walk. We used it once and only stayed a morning, the waterpark itself was tired and quite small. Wouldn't do that extra again. Overall great holiday and was perfect for we needed! Would just add, lots of lovely people gave us inflatables and pool toys, try to pass them on as if you leave them outside your room they get thrown away!

Most up to date review as of 27/11/25. I will go through hotel by sections, I would look at the food, drink and noise sections mainly. And look at the conclusion at end. Main issues: What is with the extra stuff that you have to pay for?? I mean it's an All inclusive and to have any decent beer, WIFI?!?, the safe, Drinks after 11pm? (even tho bar men closed it after 11pm anyway) Rooms/Check in: Overall, rooms were alright. We got put in one quite close to the pool/restaurant but some others were quite far away so may be a 5 mins walk if you are in the far ones. Space is ok, bathroom had duel sink, toilet had a drip that never got fixed (not that annoying). Shower was alright for couple days, then started to go either boiling hot or very cold. Beds are probably the worst part with being quite uncomfortable and a few other reviews say this. However, another main issue is if someone is next door in your little bungalow, it sounds like they may as well be in the room with you as when people moved in you could hear every conversation, shower, etc. Cleaning; Hotel was decently clean, cleaning of the rooms happened at relatively good times. One day, one of the cleaners took the bottom sheet of the bed and didn't replace it. Food: Well, where to start. Food gets quite cold, as soon as you get back to your table after picking it from the different sections it will be cold. There's enough options for food, depending on the day. However it seems very much what you would expect from a lower par all inclusive, which is unfortunate. Food from snack/pool bar was also as disappointing unfortunately. Drinks: These are also disappointing, Amstel is the only beer and few bad cocktails. Service was pretty disappointing also, someone would be standing by the bar and would walk past you and ignore you until it was a convenient time for them Noise/people: This was my main issue about the holiday, not sure if I missed something but this hotel should be very very much highlighted as a FAMILY ONLY hotel. As I have just been in November and there's loads of kids and small children. They blast loud music by the pool area so good luck with relaxing by the pool and having a swim. Bars of a night were super loud as they are just empty rooms with chairs and tables so very echoy. In conclusion, DON'T COME HERE IF you want a relaxing holiday, want any good food or drinks, drinks after 11pm and if you can't afford data for your phone. Very disappointed as thought it was going to be a good relaxing holiday, ended up leaving early and going to an area which we go to and love for the rest of our time.

Where to begin with this .. Been here for a week and the bungalow room and grounds are fine. The location is also a good feature if you want to leave, which you definatley will. The staff are all nice and attentive but there seems to be a lack of staff around the pool/restaurant area. The entertainment staff are nice and seem to also cook poolside on some days? The main problem with this hotel aswell as it needing a re-furb and a good clean- is the food. Dancing with death everytime you eat in the cafeteria as everything is not quite right, not to mention the poolside snack area which also leaves alot to be desired. Salad is dry, meat is poor quality, everything is just strange. THEY SERVE BOILED SPROUTS, CARROTS, GREEN BEANS for breakfast- next to what looks like mini boiled sausages??? I have no idea who this is aimed and is frankly a joke. Another thing is the pool which blasts music all day which I dont know who this is aimed at either. Other than leaving to go to the beach and spending money in Playa Blanca the hotel is a bit of a mess, save your money and get a villa or go 5 star I recommend. However some people seem to like it here so maybe its me. If this was a 2/3 star hotel it still would not be acceptable but they could get away with it, but a 4 star hotel is crazy and I cant grasp how it could possibly be. PS. The gym is excellent but not sure if it has anything to do with the hotel
