Hotel terbaik di Playa Blanca

Apartment looked nice when we first arrived but things started to go down hill very fast first night loud music from sports bar which was right in the complex down a few steps. The door didn't shut properly so didn't feel safe woke up to cockroaches running around the Apartment did report noise and the door/cockroaches but she wasn't interested we had no WiFi for the first 5 days also the lady at the bar confirmed a couple was robbed in the complex all there money was stolen .the bathroom had black mould on the ceiling. We had no cleaning done really just emptied bins twice we were there and the towels were in a poor state and old we had to provide our own bin bags /toilet roll and clean our own room .the tv kept losing signal all the time. We stayed for 12 nights and we definitely won't be returning

This hotel is quite well designed, but a fairly long way from the sea down a steep hill which was too challenging for my mobility-impaired husband. The hotel provides transit buses to the beach a few times a day but this would have been tricky in a wheelchair. The accessible room we had was excellent (when we found it! - staff didn’t seem to realise that a map isn’t much use when you first arrive and don’t have any bearings, and not all the staff knew where it was). We were surprised to discover there was a daily charge to use the in-room safe and some other facilities in the resort – so it wasn’t really all-inclusive. The room cleaners were very efficient and helpful although we found it a nuisance that there was almost no shelf space in the bathroom for our bits and pieces (not their fault). The entertainment was variable -two of the guest performances were excellent (balance- acrobats and conjuror). The house team were full of energy, and as in most places like Butlins, small children are encouraged to get obsessed about the mascot ”Pepe”. What a surprise, souvenir stuffed toys were available to buy in the Reception on departure... The food was all right although very repetitive by the second week and some of the labelling was poor- the Indian night had almost nothing vegetarian – come on guys, it’s easy to provide onion bhajis, pakora in catering quantities, I’ve been cooking them myself for more than 20 years! As it turned out one set of samosas was vegetarian, but an unhelpful female (senior!) member of staff didn’t know that and was quite rude, almost to the point of aggressiveness about that issue. I sent a description of this incident to the manager, who quickly provided a detailed and polite response. I hope the advice to this staff member has now been given, because there’s no way of knowing how many other guests she has offended by her attitude. I should say that all the other staff were unfailingly polite and helpful, especially when my husband lost his wedding ring in one of the swimming pools.

After reading some not so good reviews we were a vit dubious as to what it would be like....needn't have worried. We spent a week here came home yesterday, 2 adults and a 13 year old. The complex itself is spotless with beautifully kept gardens, 3 different pool.areas with plenty on sunbeds at all times, amazing staff at the pool bar amd surrounding areas. Our apartment was on the ground floor towards the back near the tennis courts etc with our terrace overlooking gardens and so relaxing and quiet (glad to be here rather than nearer to pools which would have been less private and obv more noisy). The apartment itself although basic was all we needed for a weeks stay, spacious, clean with a good shower and comfy beds, basic cooking equipment. Good base for either the marina or the main centre about a 15 minute walk to both with the papagayo centre, harp and bikers bar 10 mins away, just had to decide right or left every night and then the choice of bars and restaurants was great. Great food inparticular in the Italian job and Lanis grill. Would definitely go back, recommend for all ages but the kids section with slides would be a definite plus for families with younger kids.

This is a really lovely hotel, positioned on the eastern side of Playa Blanca and very convenient for the beautiful beaches at Papagayo and for main roads to other parts of the island. It's around 15 minutes walk to the town centre by the main road or (best route) along the prom from Playa Dorada and there are supermarkets nearby. The site is well laid out and planted with mature ficus and palm trees (at dusk every day tiny birds came to sing in the tree overhanging my balcony). The rooms are large, unfussy and spotlessly clean and have private terraces or balconies. The are staff mostly very friendly, particularly the younger receptionists who are excellent - and trilingual in French, Spanish and English. Other reviews mentioned the noise from the entertainment, so I sent a message to the hotel asking for a quiet room. I was placed in the 'Zen Zone', on the first floor away from the busy areas overlooking the quieter of the two pools and was very happy. The entertainment ends by 23:00 in any case. One review mentions holiday reps 'coming round' but I was left entirely alone and nobody came to the door during my stay except the lovely housekeeping team. The hotel is very popular with French families (no Brits at all) and the atmosphere is very friendly and civilised. No loud room parties or drunken staggering about late at night. friendly. There is a smart cafeteria serving meals on site but I booked room-only through Zen Hotels and got a very good rate. There's a kettle and fridge in the room and lots of great places to eat catering for all tastes in and around Playa Blanca. I hired a car from Payless and they delivered and collected the car to/from the hotel. The weather wasn't entirely brilliant during my stay but I was happy to be at the hotel or driving around the island sight-seeing. Will definitely return to the Royal.

We had a nice clean appartement which was very spacious. The bed is really good, very soft and we slept like babies. Bathroom was nothing special but clean which is the most important thing. Breakfast is a bit on the expensive side. (8,- for 2 small orange juice). The staff was friendly. We would’ve liked to stay longer but unfortunately it was fully booked. The only downside was the 100,- borg that has to be payed with creditcard as we didn’t have one but we got the appartement anyway. I recommended this place to others if they’re looking to relaxed without the screams from tourists. If you read this as a tourist please keep this beautiful island clean and show your respect. (We walked around with an empty bag picking up trash along the road)
