I have recently gone to playa blanca for a week, where the first couple days were rainy. However as the week went by the weather progressed and the entire island was sunny. The quality of the service at this hotel is excellent, every staff is friendly and no matter what time of the day it is it did not matter... More

We were at this resort from May 24th – 31st and paid a very good price with a last minute deal. The resort was nice even though we were not that many travellers, the resort was pretty empty. We stayed in the Hotel part on the third floor with an ocean view, our room was big and very clean. Pools... More

Traveled for the first time to Cuba May 20-27th 2013. It was my first experience at an all inclusive. My boyfriend & I are both in our 40's so thought it was about time! We flew on Canjet without any problems. I have nothing to compare to regarding this resort but have been away to hotels & on a couple... More

I travelled off season, May 13-20, but paid a low price for this vacation so my expectations were completely in line for what I paid. The bungalow rooms are large, with a foyer with a closet and mirror plus bathrooms are large, and all bungalow rooms have a large corner, 2 side long terrace with 2 chairs and a table.... More

Needed a break after tax season and Playa Blanca fit the bill perfectly. A great week of diving and cigars! Resort was at low capacity as two rooms of the buffet were blocked off but this help the buffet staff by not having to run all over the place to wait on people. Breakfast was served outside at the snack... More

My Fiance and I stayed at Gran Caribe Playa Blanca May 6 2013 - May 13 2013. It was the perfect getaway we had been needing. We had our flight with Canjet, no complaints. The hotel was only about a 10 minute ride from the airport, we arrived to the hotel to drinks in our hands, and live music and... More

The flight with Canjet was alright. The hotel is just 5 min by bus from the airport. Beautiful ocean, white sand, but nobody takes care of the beach. We stayed at the bungalow, 2nd floor. Not bad, even though the property need maintenance. The room was clean. Food. Rice, chicken, green tomatoes, some cucumbers, minimum fruits, some cheese, sweetened brad.... More

I stayed, on a trip without agency, in Hotel Playa Blanca, which is nice and friendly, mainly french Canadian guests, animations, old bikes can be taken for a short ride (longer rides difficult with these bad bikes). Beach in front of hotel spectacular but rather small, waves reach the rocks not leaving space to sit or walk at certain times... More

Beautiful hotel with ample opportunities for relaxation. Large breakfast buffet, good lunch possibilities and exquisite dinner buffet, with large selection of meat and fish and excellent wine choice. The barbeque was a bit of a disappointed where the meat was concerned. It was pre-cooked. Meat is better prepared at the hotplate. By the end of our stay wifi was available,... More
