the hotel was spotless it was my second holiday abroad i really enjoyed it. the swimming pool was wonderful and big there was shops to get food from near by the hotel staff were really kind and helpful there was lots of games and entertainment round the pool every day. there was lots of quizzes going on aswell my dad won a couple of them. of a night thier was bingo we won two games of that and if you won a quiz you would go on stage and resive a certifacate.

We stayed in the Blanc Palace in August 2004, and following numerous excellant reports we read on the reviews section were looking forward to it. On arriving at the hotel the first thing that hit us was the cleanliness and how spacious it was. The rooms were bright and clean. The pool area was fantastic, exremely large and clean, with a smaller childrens pool. The restaurant in the hotel was very average and similar to the other restaurant not far by, however we found it extremely pricey compared to other hotels we have stayed in.The only problems we seemed to have was an invasion of ants in the apartments, the annoying bingo call-outs round the pool (thought we were in "Blackpool"), and the area surrounding apartments.

This aparthotel is absolutely fantanstic. The staff are so incrediable friendly and professional. We return to this hotel after our intial visit last year. and we have already booked for next. A dream Holiday which was made by the superb location and the friendships created whilst on holiday. Eating on site is an excellant choice with top quality food, the balnc palace sald with the lamb shoulder is 1st class.

Was great for us as a couple, lots of young families with kids who all seemed to be having a great time, only heard one person complain during our 7 day stay and that was a woman who dident like the football on the big screen in the bar during Euro 2004.
Possibly the cleanest accomadation we have ever stayed at.
Would definately go again.

We have been visiting the Blanc Palace now since it opened. Our main holiday each year now for as long as my kids can remember is the Blanc Palace. Over the years the level of service from the staff has not changed from its excellent level. It's nice to return to see the same staff each year and the close family atmosphere they create. All of the rooms I have stayed in have been kept clean to a high standard on a daily basis.

My only criticism - Airtours
Last year airtours put an entertainment team in who paraded around the pool with a megaphone, and generally lowered the otherwise excellent tone of the Hotel. It felt like I was back at Butlins and not in a five star property. For me, the professional entertainment provided a much better atmosphere. The kids reps were great although I did witness many criticisms of the creche staff. Perhaps better monitoring might have helped.

But all said... This is one NOT to be missed. One visit and you'll be back

We travelled to the Blanc Palace at peak season and found the Hotel to be absolutely spotless, with linen and towels changed five times a week, which was excellent. We ate snack food in the hotel every lunch time which was really nice, the restaurant was nice also, but we found a couple of local restaurants where there was a much wider selection of food. The Staff at the Blanc Palace could not be faulted. They were always helpful, polite and friendly and our six year old daughter thought so too, as each and every one had time for the small ones. The entertainment by the pool was great for my daughter, and indeed the water polo was great for the hubbie, giving Mam some time to relax by the pool. The evening was excellent for the kids, with a mini disco and games each evening, where the kids got to spend some more time with the excellent Kids Club Leaders. We had such a lovely time, we booked for the same two weeks again this year, and I know we will meet up with others, who were doing the same when they got home last year too.

In July 2003, we stayed at the Blanc Palace in Sa Caleta, a peaceful and quiet resort. From 1999 to 2001 the family stayed at Son Blanc across the road from the Blanc Palace, which is a wonderful complex. The following year, 4 of us tried the Blanc Palace out and it was brilliant!!! The following year, 2003, the 8 of us went for a fantastic holiday.

Although the hotel is aimed at families with young children, our kids (who were 10, 11, 13 & 14) had the most enjoyable time. In the mornings a rep would be out there doing water aerobics with everyone which was fab. During the afternoon there was a variety of poolside entertainment for the kids and also your daily quiz which was good fun.

After seeing the adults play water-polo, our kids asked the reps for a kids game and without any hesitation, they were all soon in the pool having a great laugh. In the evening there was the mini-disco for the younger kids, but it didn't stop ours from getting up and doing the Cartoon Hero song (and it didn't stop the adults either!)There was some amazing entertainment later on such as magic shows, live spansih bands and flamnco dancing. It was also a great laugh seeing the reps put on shows like Grease and the Lion King!

Other amusing evening activites was Mr & Mrs, bingo, competitions between the two sides of the room and much more!

The rooms were lovely, clean and comfortable, all with balconies or terraces. The hotel had many facilities such as a restaurant, a clean large pool with a kids section and play area, a games room and much more. The super market is a 30 second walk just over the very quiet road.

All the staff, receptionists, barmen,reps etc. were so easy to talk to. They were very friendly people and we had a good laugh with them all.

The Blanc Palace is fantastic! We have booked to go in August 2005 and so our kids will be even older but nevertheless I am positive that it will still be a great holiday! I would definately recommend it to families and couples alike!

Hotel was well equiped and well run and the team on the front desk were excellent. I do however have 3 points to make to warn any new visitors.

(1) The hotel restaurant had EXACTLY the same menu as the only two other hotels nearby and the one nearby restaurant and the prices were exactly the same - this to me was not good, especially when the food was acceptable at best and certainly not cheap.


(2) The location of the hotel is poor. The only things nearby are a fairly shabby beach, a restaurant with the same menu as the hotel and an admittedly friendly bar.


(3) My main issue was the creche. We have a fourteen month old daughter who we booked in the creche for two hours a day. By the second date we, along with almost every other parent, had taken their kids out. It was run by two 16 year old girls who spent most of their time talking to each other rather than amusing the kids. When I walked in after half an hour on the first day to see five children under two crying and the girls completely ignoring them I felt I had to take her out.

To summarise, points 1 and 2 would not normally spoil the holiday if you had older kids but with a baby it did. However, the situation with the creche was totally unacceptable and as this was the main reason for booking this hotel, it is very dissapointing.
