Playa Blanca Beach Resort

Accommodation for 9 family members, kids and adults. Kids loved the pool. Having a large open area outside our adjoining rooms made it easy to share meals. Great view of White Beach .

Too many steps. More than 100 steps from parking down to reception. And the construction. Resort is under new management and being renovated.. it will be great soon.

Location is great and the view from the room.

The pool water don't look clean.

Die Lage ist klasse , der Pool hat uns auch sehr gefallen

Während unseres kurzen Aufenthaltes sind Bauarbeiten am Hotel durchgeführt worden. Am ersten Tag ist mit den. Bauarbeiten um 10:00 begonnen worden, , hat nicht gestört. Am 2 Tag war Baubeginn um 7 h morgens . War aber auszuhalten

Weg van de drukte.

Veel aan het verbouwen. Geen restaurant.

Stunning view from the room, spacious, peace and quiet esp at night, access to beach.

Stairs :)

The location is not to close to the crowded area which makes it silence and peaceful

The stairs and maybe they can include a breakfast for the package or maybe they will have their own restaurant

It has its own beach front.

The smell of the Blanket and pillow case are not good. The size of the blanket is for a single person only. Sometimes you the smell of the sewer - maybe because of the location.

Location

Stairs and there's a left over calamari food inside the cabinet when we arrived at the unit.

The location was at the edge of the beach. It’s less crowded but is also far from the restaurants and water activities.

The power supply is low, we weren’t able to plug in hair drying devices and the air conditioning didn’t function fully. The drains emit a foul odor which we didn’t like. The mattresses smell like people had been sleeping on it while wet.

Beachfront and away from the usual noise from the boulevard. We liked the location of our third room when we extended our stay. It was beachfront and had a wall fan. However, it was beside the construction area, so expect dust and noise until 4 PM, which are their working hours.

The place seemed new from the outside, but inside the room, the facilities were not well maintained, especially the CR. The pool water was also not clear. We extended our stay for another day and chose a twin double-bed room, but the first room we got had a kanal/imburnal smell coming from the bathroom. We couldn’t tolerate the smell because it was so bad, so we asked for another room. That’s when we got the dusty beachfront room, since the room beside it was under construction. We requested a rug because the floor was very dusty, but the resort did not provide one.

Offers best view of white beach property. at the far end of white beach, highly recommended if you want a quiet place in the middle of White Beach.

Thhhheeeeee steeeeeeeeps from the highway to the beach front: 110+ steep steps. Not recommended for elderly and PWDs and also with babies like us. Have to take our breakfast in the adjacent property. No restaurant in this hotel.

Very much near the white beach

The stairs. Not senior and pwd friendly

The closeness to the beach

The stairs but a good exercise

Beach front location.

The steep uneven rise and run of the stairs from the road down to the resort. If you book this hotel be sure to get shuttle service from Balatero port through Playa Blanca @ 75php per person. The room was adequate CR was good size with hot shower but poor water pressure (Not a big deal) Property is under renovations currently but it's not an inconvenience. We checked in Wednesday afternoon(04/22) and checked out Saturday(04/25) not once did housekeeping visit either of the rooms. No bed sheet change... no fresh bath towels. No housekeeping whatsoever. It's not really a "resort" as nothing is included. It's just a beachfront hotel. The location is amazing as it is at the far end of the beach away from the countless vendors. Decent snorkeling right off the front beach. The staff were pleasant but nothing over the top. It wasn't "amazing" .... it wasn't "terrible" ... it was simply OK with some highs and lows.

the rub and tug

the rub and tug could of been with two younger boys.

The location

The stairs for our senior citizen.

Staff are very friendly and helpful

Bathroom was dirty and shower is broken

Great location and view, Friendly staff

Everything was fine

le bruit tôt le matin en raison des travaux de rénovation.

It is beach front. The staff are ok/helpful.

The photos are deceiving, room is small, pool is not big/infinity as advertised and the water smells bad. The toilet smells of sewer. There are also cockroaches in the toilet. Toilet plumbing is leaking. Bed is uncomfortable.

Very friendly staff, great location right on the beach.

Rooms need a little modernization however I know that this is planned already

Great view of the whole beach

Half the hotel was under going serious construction work. The main stairs were very dangerous uneven and steep

Beachfront, Helpful Staff

Front of white beach Friendly staff

Poor internet Stairs are not friendly for old and very young children. Not well maintained. Although working faucet was broken.

View.

The long stairs and room not clean.

Peter and Mardi are the most gracious host. I called several times to make changes, no problem to all my request. The views were spectacular!! I have been to puerto galera and Playa Blanca sits away from all the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk and did i mention the spectacular views!. You can also workout on the steps if your are into fitness and health. Trust me, the views are spectacular the employees are kind. Peter and Mardi thank you for a wonderful stay, that our party of 12 will never forget!

That i couldn't stay longer

Stairs 😂

Tolle Übersicht über white Beach

Treppen

The view was great, the staff was nice,the place is clean. They have bidet in their toilet.The aircon is working so well. The bed is clean and comfy to sleep. Very esthetic love it so much. Especially the pool with the beach view is so AWESOME. Gonna comeback for sure💚💙

nothing

Direkt am Strand mit tollem Blick über die Bucht. Zimmer war sauber mit allem was man braucht. Mitarbeitende waren freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Die Ausstattung des Zimmers ist basic, was auch völlig ok ist aber für den Preis zu teuer. Außenbereich könnte besser gepflegt werden.

Es war insgesamt echt schön. Werden nächstes Jahr wieder kommen…..

the service is good they provide good accomodation and extended assistance like transportation and ticket purchasing IT HAS A LARGE BATHROOM and beautiful view from terrace

no elevator, the stairs are too steep the lighting is quite dim, the blanket provided is thin and short

Friendly staff, pick up from ferry

Noisy room neighbors

location

stairs

Perfect view from room balcony.

Poor WIFI in room.

On the beach great location

Internet inconsistent

Very nice location, quiet area along the white beach.

The road is very steep, and going up and down the stairs is dangerous. There are no lights at night, so the path is dark.

Great sea view. Friendly staffs. Nice location.Clean room. Highly recommend!!

Front beach

All are ok

Other guest didn’t make it because of Typhoon

Other guest didn’t make it in because of Typhoon

Safe from Typhoon

Electric was out so they were running off a generator which they would shut off at various times for several hours in which you had no lights no ac no fan no hot water no internet connect. Not as nice as what it pictures no room for luggage in the rooms be prepared to climb stairs

Best resort ever

Nice

The room, and the stuff

NA

The view is incredible. The owner and wife fantastic people .The location fantastic

Lots of very steep stairs. Terrible shower. Sink leaking in my room.im sure improvements will make it a special place just needs some love

On the beach

You had to pay for everything in the room even coffee packets that’s very sad

The staff and it is literally beach front.

The stairs but there is a different route to avoid the stairs and should be emphasized to their guests.

Nice view Has a pool Offers convenient port pick-up for 75 PHP per person Responsive and helpful staff

This place is at the far end of the beach, and I’ve stayed here multiple times with friends and family. Access used to be easy, but this time it’s more challenging since the path to the beach/bay walk is under construction. The building is 3–4 stories high and only accessible by steep stairs, which may not be ideal for seniors or those who don’t like stairs. The pool now also closes at 8 PM, unlike before. While this won’t matter if you’re not into swimming, I used to enjoy ending the day there with a drink, though I understand the earlier closure might be for safety reasons.

The continious stank in the bathroom.

The price which you finally pay to booking.com is about 10 percent higher than the price in the bookingproces without a specification.

Attentive to customers need, place is quiet

Need to climb very High , need to have more food selection

The view was awesome. Monkeys were awesome. Beach was nice. Room was quite good, with good aircon. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The pool was very dirty and the internet was very bad. We knew there were a lot of steps, but there were a lot.

Situated in quiet location along white beach. Nice view from the room, complete amenities. One of our rooms was upgraded to VIP room.

The bathroom stinks, smells like a drainage. We were able to checked in at 3pm instead of 130 pm as the guests who occuppied our room did not check out on time.

I like the location specially if you want to swim in the afternoon, the big rock on the side will hide you from the sun, you can also sight monkey's in the morning, less crowded and front beach ☺️

Hard to go up and down the stairs, extra carefull when using the stairs not friendly for senior. since the room is located on the top.

Nothing

Staffs are not available at night. Drops call when needed and is angry when we asked help with our room key. Also waited almost 2 hours for them to plug the generator when there’s power outage since they are nowhere to be found at night. Cockroaches everywhere, dogs with huge lice were in the premise and would ravage our leftovers. Towels were dirty looking.

Location-wise, this place is close to all the nearby restaurants and has direct beach access. We stayed in a deluxe room while my kids stayed on the upper level standard room. The property features a beautiful infinity pool and sea view. The rooms have air conditioning, fan and safe box; the deluxe room has a larger TV with Netflix, while my kids’ standard room had a smaller TV with regular cable. A minibar is available for an additional charge, of course it comes handy for breakfast if you’re not a big breakfast person and ok with noodles and coffee. You get a complimentary pitcher of water (refillable) However, we were mostly out exploring the beach, nearby restaurants, and enjoying water sports.

This place is not friendly for families with oldies, the staircase to the main road is a killer! So make sure you’ve got enough stamina, strong quads and calves to climb them when leaving the property :) specially with bags! The pool is small and mostly cloudy though they clean it everyday so I am not sure if it’s the amount of chlorine. I guess this is the only thing we didn’t appreciate.

Quiet place

Very bad experience. The host herself is not accommodating. Knew the cups and linen are not clean, said will have it replaced and cleaned but did not. I have to bring down those used cups by prev guests and get new ones for ourselves. The bathroom is not well cleaned. The drainage in the cr smells bad. Leakage in the lavatory. Waterflow from the shower is poor. The swimming pool is not clean and water are not really clear. The host said the pump is defective. They should have drained it instead. Noticeably the host is biased in treating guests. Lastly, unfortunately, I had bed bug bites.

Humble , kind Staff and owner

only the pool need to clean every hour

It is clean and the staff and the owner are friendly. The view is good as well. We will go back again next year.

The stairs

The owner is kind

staff was excellent - Nancy looked after us so very well they have their own boat and you board right at the hotel for island hopping

the stairs - if you get dropped off by trike on the highway - you have a very steep stairway down to the office - brutal carrying bags -you can arrange pick up and drop off on the beach not far from the hotel - if your room is uo high you have to deal with the stairs

We liked the whole package. Playa Blanca is our first Choice of hotel every time. We have never been disappointed staying there. The Food is exceptional, Delicious and Generous portions. We will most definitely return.

Leaving!

Very friendly and hospitable staff.

Location

Water is little in the sink and shower

Nice guesthouse with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are clean, and the housekeeping service is very efficient. The new owner gave us great advices about White Beach, such as where to find an ATM and showing the way to a shortcut to the town center. The stairs can be difficult with luggages, but you can ask for assistance at the reception. From 3 PM, the beachfront gets shadow, allowing you to enjoy the beach without worrying about sunburn. Finally, we accidentally broke a coffee mug, and the hotel only charged us a fair price of 100 PHP.

We will definitely return to Playa Blanca for our next relaxing vacation, but we would appreciate it in the future if the internet bandwidth could be improved in all rooms. Currently, it is too slow for advanced usage. More and more visitors have regular online jobs… just our experience.

Location apart from steps

Down a flight of 100 steep steps! Place was dirty and always damp! We had cockroaches and sewer flies No clean towels for 5 days Restuarant closed

Location, price, staff are excellent.

The stairs to get to the rooms is mountain climb but it's a good workout after all.

Perfect beach view from room and from hotel terasse - could not be better great options for diving and snorkelling - playa blanca hat an own diving resort. Very skilled and nice divemaster and friendly and competent owners and personnel. Family-rum place. Own comfortable and fast dive board, good material for rental. We had many excellent diving and snorkelling trips. They also have travek agnecy (super convenient) Beach ist good, beautiful sandy beach, paradise. Good restaurants and bars. Pictures in booking com represent reality 100%.

We liked everything. Unfortunately have to leave.

Good sized rooms with a good view and sun deck

Location

The 150 steps down to the reception. 50 steps to the room. Mosquitoes everywhere. Very untidy reception empty bottles and rubbish pilled up. Things were so bad. Didn't even stay 1 night

Beds and aircondition are good ..very close to the beach and restaurants

Bathroom are too small and not so clean..television is not working..cups and glass are not so good..no spoon or teaspoon for coffee and cup noodles in case.. stairs going to the room are so high for elders
