I am so suprised reading other reviews. I have travelled ard the world and was staying in best hotels b/c of my job, like Hilton, and Sheraton an I really do like this small coisy hotel. It is run by Italian-Polish married couple. It is just next to the sea, views from the rooms with balcony are absolutely amaizing. Rooms... More

I would NOT recommend NI Hotel La Playa Blanca to anybody. My family and I had a horrible stay. Personal belongings went missing from our room, but when we reported it, the hotel denied responsibility. Some men enjoy going to the hotel in order to prey on young women. I have two daughters, one is 16 and the other is... More

Thinking about getting a good night sleep after a long journey? If you choose to stay here, think again. The train passes by the hotel during the middle of the night. I really did not enjoy getting startled by a loud train hourly. I was also extremely disappointed with the quality of service I received at this hotel. The telephone... More
