Pool

Lovely hotel, stayed in an apartment although the view on the balcony was a bush in room 136, that was the only downside to the holiday. I would book into this hotel again but ask for pool view however for the price, I couldn't complain. Pool Lovely, loads of sunbeds. Everywhere was clean. Maids came every day . Great location, 2 mins from the marina and 20 mins to the main town which was a lovely walk. Highly recommended!

Top hotel, highly recommended 

We've just got back from a great stay here. We were looking for somewhere we could lounge around the pool and still be close to things and this ticked all the boxes.

Firstly the location is great. There is a supermarket literally over the road. I saw people moan about the prices but I thought it would as standard if you get local items or things on offer. The staff are super friendly too. Pharmacy is also next to the supermarket.

It is right on the marina where there are lovely restaurants then about a 15-20 min walk to the rest of Playa Blanca.

The room was lovely. Literally looked exactly like the photos. Our room faced out the back to the marina and it was lovely. Rooms were cleaned most days and all the hotel staff were lovely.

The pool area is the best. Always sunbeds. None of that stupid fighting. I saw people say the pool was cold... It was a standard holiday pool, when the sun was fully out the pool was warmer. We were in it most days. I also saw people say it was smelly... Again there were the odd holiday sewers whiffs but never bothered us whilst at the hotel. Just when we walked out. 

We had a late flight and there are showers to use in the toilets near the pool so we stayed around the pool all day. Left our luggage in the luggage room by reception. 

Overall I would deffo reccomend for a lovely chilled holiday.

Lovely relaxing holiday

Very nice , with nice large rooms (221) with good view over swimming pool, but be aware some rooms have views which are not so nice !!

Beds clean and comfortable , aircon was available. Towels are changed about three times a week, but rooms are cleaned 5 days a week.  
 
Staff very friendly and helpful and Breakfast was great, plenty of different items to chose from and bacon, hash browns, baked beans  etc was always hot. Fresh bread also was available along with fruit and numerous other items.  

Area around the pool is quite quite and we never had any issue with getting sun beds.
Its also close to many of the local restaurants if you prefer to eat out of an evening. 

There appears to be some level of development taking place on the East side of the Hotel, with some noise and plenty of blowing sand , however this is nothing to do with the hotel itself.  

Would recommend for people and families looking for a quiet,clean ,well maintained hotel .

Quiet and worth a visit.

What a great location!
The hotel is right next to the marina you can walk out of the side gate and be in the bustle of bars and restaurants at the quieter end of Playa Blanca, we loved it!
It was spotlessly clean, with a great pool area with loads of sun beds so no issues with “reserving” sun beds you can experience in other hotels
The rooms are well equipped with everything you might need, and there is a hyper dino supermarket practically next door at the rubicon shopping centre ( there is a decent spar in the main playa Blanca resort towards the port)
We didn’t use the buffet as we had breakfast in the room everyday 
We stayed for 7 nights we had room 201 which was great for us, overlooking the Marina

Great hotel

Large modern apartments.... Probably one of the biggest I have ever stayed in. Very clean and modern. Lovely big pool with loads of sunbeds and no need to rush to get them. Location is good near the marina maybe 200 meters away with plenty of restaurants and bars. About 1 and a bit mile to the main small strip area with loads more bars and restaurants and the usual Chinese shops selling souvenirs.

Can swim during daylight hours with lifeguard there from 10-6. Bar open to 5pm and food to approx 3pm in the restaurant. We didn't eat in here as there were way too many nice restaurants to eat at in close proximity.

Important to note that there is no pool music or entertainment so not the usual holiday vibe it's very quiet which takes some getting used to. I think even a low level of music at the pool would set a nicer atmosphere.

The residents were all well behaved and no screaming or shouting or partying late which was great. 

Bad points and this may be just unfortunate with our room. When we arrived at our room we had a line of black ants coming into the apartment. I contacted reception and somebody came up. He sprayed them and left them dying on the floor even missed half of them so we spent an hour killing and cleaning up dead ants... Not a great start.

Second some of the ants had gone into the aircon unit so I took a look with the torch on my phone. The aircon unit was filled with black mould literally filled and the aircon unit in our room has some too. So we decided not to use the aircon that night as I didn't fancy breathing it in. Next morning I reported it to reception and they did clean it in fairness but still it sort of points to a maintenance issue as I'm sure it didn't appear overnight.
Next morning instead of a hundred ants we had 4-500 hundred coming through a small hole in the patio door to the bin. Again I reported to to the cleaner and he did a better job killing and cleaning them up after him which was good. But at no point of the week was the actual issue solved he had a few most days. I would have thought prevention may have been a better idea to stop them getting in..

I just felt we could have been moved room or something from the start. It's really a bad impression as soon as you walk in and have issues. I have never had to make complaints anywhere else I have been on holiday. Even a token breakfast or something for the hassle would have been a nice gesture. 

Thirdly the window past the main walkway had the locks broken and couldn't be locked. It didn't cause us much issue but we took all valuables incase.

A few restaurants worth a look nearby are Lanis snack bar for breakfast. Unreal location on the marina watching ths fish cruise the blue waters. 

Mariachi Mexican ate here twice it was that good.

The Italian job in the papagayo centre... Beautiful pasta and pizza.

3.5 stars would be a fair assessment
