Hotel HL Club Playa Blanca

We felt a little disappointed when we arrived but that improved during our stay and we left having had a nice time. If you've booked, it will be fine. You get what you pay for and for what we paid we were fairly happy. ROOMS: We enjoyed our spacious and clean rooms. They are a little dated but have everything you need and plenty of storage space, unlike some of the refurbed hotels where there is nowhere to put anything. The beds were very comfy in one bungalow and ok in the other. It was good to have extra blankets (November). It was lovely having a terrace with our own bougainvillea to sit under. GROUNDS: This must be one of the prettiest hotels we've stayed at. Lots of colour from the hibiscus, bougainvillea and more, various cactus plants, palm trees and bananas. We found it amusing when we said "hello" or "hola" to the cats as we walked by, they usually miaowed it back. Our room was quite a trek from the pool but it was good exercise, especially as we seemed to go different ways each time. Better signage and lighting would help. We called our "road" Pom-pom Drive because of our topiary tree. FOOD: We are not picky, we take food reviews with a pinch of salt as you can usually find something nice. However, our first opinion of the food was awful when we arrived but thankfully it improved (and got a bit hotter as the week went by). Our flight had been delayed and we arrived 20 minutes before the end of lunch. There was barely anything left, it wasn't appealing and was barely warm. We got something to try but it was not good so we left it and went to the pool bar for pizza. We made it just in time to the pool bar and got a freshly cooked pizza which was ok. There was a small salad bar which was a little too uncovered for my liking. There is a glass cabinet with wrapped ham and cheese sandwiches, some fruit and a small selection of ok pastries. There is a toastie machine. The pizzas are not around for long, we only managed to get them once. We went for a walk on our first day and none of us could face dinner at the hotel so we ate out. We liked the restaurant, it was clean and spacious, light and bright, and you didn't have to queue. Tables were cleared quickly, so quickly that a couple of times my wine glass and plate were taken while I was still eating/drinking. The cooked breakfast was ok. The sausages on the Live Station were always pink in the middle. If you went to the cooked breakfast station you might be lucky getting a cooked one but they weren't that nice. Bacon was sometimes black or a mixture of ok or undercooked but a nicely cooked piece was fine. The fried eggs, omelettes, scrambled eggs were generally good. The hash browns were poor quality. Breakfast was often warm, not hot and the microwave nearby got used. But there were other things to eat. The evening meals were better. In particular we loved the serrano ham, chorizo, veal escalopes, lemon potatoes, canarian potatoes with mojo sauce. The Indian themed night was very y

Thanks to the staff of the hotel for making our vacation a memorable trip.... stayed there for 2 weeks with my family(all inclusive).... plenty of good food to choose from 7.30 am to 10 pm.... decent choice of alcohol.... Bungalows were very spacious and cleaned everyday except Sunday's.... plenty of things to keep the family occupied.... tennis, table tennis etc.... Spanish bar is a great place to retire after dinner and play card games with the family....All in all we had a memorable holiday....

We stayed in this hotel in September and absolutely loved it. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Anything we asked they were always able to help. The bungalow was clean and very spacious. We arrived after food was finished but they had a cold buffet ready for us with lots of choices so we didn't go hungry. The cleaning staff were so nice especially one lady ( I wish I got her name) The kids absolutely loved the pool and had hours of fun. It was a lovely way to cool down when it got to hot. The food was really good and even my fussy eaters found something they liked each day there was lots of variety. It's location is excellent it's only a short walk into the shops,pubs restaurants and beaches. We were able to take a stroll in everyday. Already booked to come back next September and can't wait.

Absolutely fantastic holiday will defo recommend this hotel. The staff are amazing the entertainment is fantastic. The food is brilliant there is plenty of choices for everyone including the kids. The pool is amazing as well as the pool bar. All staff are so friendly and helpful will defo be coming back again.

Overview We had a wonderful 10-day stay at HL Club Playa Blanca. The staff were welcoming and helpful upon our arrival and they were always happy to help with any query we had. Rooms We had a pleasant two-room apartment that was spacious and reasonably well-maintained. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of wardrobe space available. The only real negative was that the second bedroom didn’t have air-con, but it wasn’t too hot so we managed well enough. The cleaning was adequate, but the muddy-brown coloured towels were a bit tired-looking and basics like toilet paper weren’t always sufficiently replenished. Food We enjoyed the restaurant and snack bar. The selection was very good with plenty of meat, fish, and vegetable-based meal options available, and with the exception of the paella, the food was mostly nice and hot. Drinks The all-inclusive cocktails were a bit of a mixed bag, but we enjoyed the Pina coladas! The Sangria and beer were very good too and the bar staff were always friendly and efficient. Entertainment The entertainment was great. We all enjoyed different aspects of it. The team lead by Rasi, does a great job of getting adults and kids involved during the daytime and in the evening too. Overall The location was perfect for us because it is near enough to the beach to walk (about 15 minutes), but also close to both local waterparks to walk too. However, the hotel offers free buses to and from the beach and one of the waterparks if walking isn’t for you! Some people have complained that it is expensive for the price they paid. However, we booked directly with the hotel, and it was significantly cheaper than many other holidays we’ve had in the Canaries. The overall quality of our stay was excellent. It is a lovely and clean hotel in a well-maintained setting, with friendly and helpful staff. We will certainly consider returning to HL Club Playa Blanca in the future!

Amazing hotel. We arrived earlier than check in time but had access to the pool/bar and amenities. The receptionists were really helpful and polite. All the staff were polite, friendly and respectful. The entertainment team were fantastic, Rasiel in particular made us all laugh especially my child with special needs and come out of her shell and felt at ease. Rasiel always got people engaging and joining in activities ams was always so lively and entertaining. He always came and spoke to us when he was working. Starling and Eduardo were really entertaining at the pool bar too. The evening entertainment was fantastic, Nico and Juan had us all in stitches and really entertaining along with the rest of the team. All food choices were great. Something for everyone. Even my daughter ate well who is really fussy. All areas were clean and well maintained. My room was made up 4 out of the 6 nights we stayed. No problems getting sunbeds even at midday for a family. The pool was big enough for families and was colder earlier in the morning but so refreshing in the heat. We visited some of the local attractions (aqua lava) and the town and all had activities and things to do. We also visited Fuerteventura which was also just as beautiful. We are already looking at returning and highly rate this hotel. Sarah x
