General Comments

If you go to the Playa Blanca hotel , take plenty of extra holiday money to eat and drink out, we spent over '500 more than we needed to due to the food not being suitable for us. Food was not to our taste, No beef or steak was offered at any point during our 7 night stay. Pork was cooked fresh on the griddle 1 night but then was covered in salt so all it tasted of was salt. Chicken was offered 1 night but was gone within 20 mins as most guests put 2 portions plus on their plate as this was as this best thing that was offered that week. Food had no structure in the respect that nothing went with anything else, eg ; Whole fish inc bones head on tail on etc in some sort of sauce served with creamed curried carrotts or salad or plain pasta.Reformed prawns, reformed chicken nuggets, frozen french fries even when you were first in the dining room, these were cold. We opted to eat out 4 out of 7 days of being there.
The bars only ever had 1 person serving - also, only ever one bar open at any one time - and queues would build so you could wait for over 20 mins for a drink and when you got there the beer glasses were only small, less then 1/2 a pint, you got to the point that you got a drink and joined the queue while you drinking the one you had queued for.
There were no soft drinks available at breakfast except for juices and no juices available at other meal times only soft drinks, beer and wine. There was only coffee and tea available at breakfast and no other meal times. Tea and coffee was available for self service around the pool bar until 6pm but if you wanted a hot drink after this time, join the queue along with everyone else who were also waiting, you could be there some time!
You would never guess that the "heated" swimming pool was heated as it was no warmer than any of the others which were all freezing - disappointing for a young child who wanted to enjoy the water.
I would sum this up as spend your money on a better hotel before you go to avoid disappointment and a least you will stand a chance of a good holiday.
