Detailed itinerary
1
It is by far the best hotel in Playa Blanca, its service is impeccable, its location is very good, its beach beds and its view of the sea from its rooms is the best in Playa Blanca. Good cocktails, good maid service and the pool is special.
Two things, the music is very Ibiza type, you have to use Caribbean music, the menu is short, expand it a little would be good.
