Fantastic hotel and great team! 2nd year for us and absolutely love it. Something for everyone! Cocktails are delicious and entertainment team are fabulous- especially Maria! Customer service is 100%...
Back at La Blanche for a second year and having a ball. Hotel great, food fantastic and entertainment / animation team (Maria) a layer up on last year. Well done team at La Blanche.
After 18 yrs, we returned without our now grown up children. Everything was superb. Well almost!!! THE ROOM was very good, apart from the balcony!! We opted for a land view as the wife like to sit and read after a day sunbathing!! It was laughable (only big enough for 2 chairs, but like a dog cage)!!! Such a shame. We were going to pay to change room but noticed many other rooms had the same size or similar , so we resisted the change!!! FOOD……in our opinion was faultless, plenty of choice & all fresh n tasty! The only let down was unaccompanied children running around!!! But hey ho…. Also the amount of waste by greedy people was unreal…. The à la carte restaurants were very good, we tried Sakura & Turkish, very very good!!! POOL was superb! Sunbeds with umbrellas were all gone by 8am (all reserved) very annoying!!! We used the beach mainly, plenty down there, but watch your heads on the bamboo umbrellas, they’re lower than you think!!! Plenty of scratches on the head!!! SNACK BAR superb, using the QR system to order, very good! Boat trip with James was brilliant, well worth the money! Big shout out to Murat (piano bar) & Olfan (bar next to games room) worked tirelessly to please!!! In an evening we would sit & watch the sunset on the open terrace, so beautiful, with a few cocktails….. Later on inside the cocktail bar, relaxing with more drinks…….next negative, unaccompanied kids running around playing football, shouting & screaming in the piano bar, where were the parents??? Very annoying!!! ENTERTAINMENT on an evening was very good some nights, then a bit dodgy the next, but generally very good!!!! On the whole, we had a great 2 weeks at La Blanche, but we won’t be returning because we now travel as a couple! It is a beautiful hotel, with excellent facilities & excellent food. Great pool & excellent private beach. Such a beautiful place.
I just came back from a holiday in La Blanche Resort. Sadly enough I need to say it was disappointing. I would rather prefer a small hotel with only breakfast than an all-in hotel like this.
In the morning for breakfast and in the evening for dinner, the restaurant was a complete chaos. We needed to wait in line for some food, by the time you arrived on your place, the food is cold.
One positive thing was that we got a big room when we arrived with sea view and pool view. The room was very big and the bathroom was new.
On Saturday I didn’t feel well and I needed to go to the nurse in the hotel, she wanted to send me to the hospital to see a doctor. We just went to the pharmacy to get some pills and I felt better.
On the last 2 days the lady from the animation team came to me and asked me to write a review. I didn’t liked this at all.
I just returned from a week holiday staying in La Blanche Resort, sadly enough I need to say that it was a disappointing holiday. I love to join activities from animation, so I decided to join Zumba on the first day. After I finished Zumba with the lady from animation, she already came to me and asked me to write a review. I only was in the hotel for a few hours, but she still wanted me to write a review about my first impressions together with her. So I did, she took a picture of it and I deleted it the day after because I wanted to write an honest review. One day I joined Zumba and one day aqua gym, I can’t say anything bad about aqua gym but I don’t know what that Zumba was. Also there an only 2 animation members walking around and talking with the guests, it’s not enough for a big hotel like La Blanche.
The restaurant in the evening was also a disaster, you needed to go stay in line to take the food you want. By the time I arrived at my place, the food was cold. There was also not much variation in the food, but what I ate was good. Sadly enough I can’t say the same for my mom because she got sick, we guess it is because of something she ate. Monday we had dinner at the Turkish à la carte, luckily that was a good one. Food was delicious and service was also very good.
We didn’t need to wake up too early to catch a sunbed around the pool, the only problems are the parasols. There are not enough around the pool and beach to provide everyone with some shade.
Another positive thing about La Blanche is that you’re very close to town, with a lot of good restaurants and lovely shops.
We only watched the evening entertainment two nights, that luckily was a good one. One night they had a dj performance but no one from animation was around. On our last 2 days the lady from animation came again to us 2 times to ask if my mom also could write a review. Again she wanted to take a picture from it and save it. It was annoying to experience it all the time.
So we won’t be back at La Blanche, if you don’t care about animation and you can handle how busy it is in the restaurant. You can go there because it is very close to town but I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
