Lots of places to eat outside resort.
Recommend going Bed and Breakfast, ignore half board option.
Do not book April, May, June as 80 percent closed with only one restaurant on offer.

Don’t stay here. I would stay under a rock on the beach in Playa Blanca over this.
Don’t stay here. Death would be better.

If you can afford it, get a suite. Overlooking the pool and the sea - perfect!

Avoid altogether. Vastly overpriced.
2* - being generous. A very large ‘holiday camp’.
Pool areas fine except for other guests! Ring-fencing areas, playing loud music on portable speakers. No consideration for anyone. Vulture behaviour for sun beds ? Up at the crack of dawn we assume?
Altogether awful- unless you have very low expectations and this is your idea of holidaying, which amazingly seems to suit many of the ‘Indiscerning’ guests. Very disappointed with Althams and Jet2 for recommending.

Playa Blanca is lovely and absolutely spotless. The Marina is a real cosmopolitan area and well worth a visit to eat out in one of the lovely restaraunts around there. The Beach is nice, lovely sand and crystal clear blue sea.

The resort is great with lovely walks along the sea front. If you head towards Playa Blanca following the sea front path you will come to loads of bars and restaurants. We can recommend a great restaurant next to Jumbos Chinese reataurant. It is called something like Typical Canarios and the seafood and Tapas is wonderful.
We have previously stayed in Costa Teguise but this was a much better resort in our opinion.

This report is going to be a bit lost amongst the glowing reviews here, but here goes any way.
The beaches were very small man-made efforts, that weren't very appealing. I spent the first 4 days trying to find local Canarian restaurants, and being constantly disapointed with the quality of the food, very dry and bland. The Marina was a fake scene with restaurants which had just been built a few years ago, and had no character or soul at all. Again a very bad quality meal here too. In the end I did something I never do, I ended up eating in Chinese retaurants and drinking in an Irish Bar. Quite frankly I could have saved my money and done that at home. Maybe I am spoilt for food since living in Belgium for 10 years, but really, white fish in a creamy pepper sauce, not a combination that will likely catch on.

Very nice Resort spotless, lots of shops to look at, nice walks, nice bars, be careful with the Jungle bar its a con, they have good entertainment with the tables getting full. We had some friends that had to sit on another table that they shared with a couple that was already seated with drinks. The friends got charged for the couples drinks plus their own even though the couple had already paid, they had to sort the problem out with the couple, the bar tender claimed not to understand and was very rude. Apart from this issue the shop assistants are very polite. And not at all pushy. Bank machines are every where.

The resort of playa blanca has nothing going for it unless you are of the older cliantele,I would discourage families to this resort as there is nothing to do.

Playa Blanca is a great resort, it's just a pity there is not a good 4 star hotel in the resort centre. The new Rubicon Marina is fantastic with up market bars and restaurants.

The resort was clean and with famlies in mind. The staff were very helpful. Entertainment was greta there is no need to go outside the hotel. The only thing is the kids club needed to accomodate more for english speaking kids as it was hard to join in german or spanish, but the facilities and music was great.

Playa Blanca's a very nice resort. Most restaurants are on the beachfront promenade, and thers must be 30 at least.
Quite a range, from nice fish restaurants, to chinese and indian and tapas bars.
The resorts clean, and I was never hassled or bothered in any way.
There's a small beach, and another main beach a few minutes along the promenade, which is clean, with shallow clear, water. Good for kids. It is still a small beach though, and can get busy (where doesn't).
There are a few bars with live music/footy etc on, but this isn't a disco resort - it's a quieter family resort.
Plenty of shops to look round, and a decent Spar supermarket too.
The marina is very nice, and you can catch a ferry over to Fuertenventura if you wish. Takes 12-25mins.
A nice, clean, relaxed place for a family holiday.

Resort was pretty clean.
Not much entertainment here but it is a quieter/family resort and that's what we wanted (no 18-30s). Some good restaurants alomg the promenade although we tend to stick to English food (sad i know).
Beach was ok but it's man-made and needs some more sand! It was also a bit messy some days.

Avoid unless 2* makes you happy. Sadly- it clearly does for many guests.
