HL Rio Playa Blanca Hotel

Very happy with the food and facilities provided by the hotel. Got good entertainment and staff. However last Thursday when we first arrived me and my dad went to the marketplace by the pool and the woman tried it on by giving me €10 less change and I don't think it was accident as I had to ask her several times to give my right change back which she eventually did. Apart from her all the other staff were great especially the waitresses and waiters who work so hard for the hotel.

We recently completed a stay at the HL Rio Playa Blanca and found it to be an exceptional value for the price. The overall experience exceeded our expectations, offering high-quality amenities and service within a reasonable budget. Accommodation & Housekeeping Our suite was well-appointed and featured a unique open-air shower, which was a standout highlight. The room was consistently clean and tidy. We were particularly impressed by our housekeeper, who added a thoughtful touch by redecorating the room every other day. While we noticed a few minor maintenance details, they were negligible in the context of the overall excellent service and did not detract from our stay. Dining & Refreshments The culinary offering was impressive, particularly the breakfast service. The live omelette station was a personal favourite, complemented by a wide selection of fresh fruits, cakes, and ice cream. The dining area was well-managed and kept clean. Additionally, having access to tea, coffee, and soft drinks throughout the day was a very convenient feature. Facilities & Entertainment The pool area was excellent and maintained at a comfortable temperature, providing a cozy atmosphere even during longer swims. The evening entertainment was of a high standard, with the fire show being a particular highlight of our visit. For those traveling with a vehicle, the ample on-site parking made logistics very simple. Service & Atmosphere The reception team was professional and helpful, addressing all our inquiries promptly. The hotel’s "nature-focused" ambiance and the fresh coastal breeze created a truly relaxing and refreshing environment. Conclusion We thoroughly enjoyed our time at HL Rio Playa Blanca. For travellers looking for a balanced mix of quality service, great food, and a beautiful setting in Playa Blanca, we highly recommend this hotel.

We loved our stay in this hotel. So many great activities going on everyday, the entertainment team were fantastic always doing something. Shot number bingo was so funny. The food is good for an all inclusive. Pools are clean and don't smell. W eare gutted we won't see the greatest show as we are flying out this evening. My daughter says the best part was ice-cream all day and lollipops at every meal time. The accommodation was spot on, quirky open air 2nd toilet and shower too. Made my day. We up graded our room to a bedroom suite and this gave so much extra space. We loved our holiday, thank you so much. See you again one day

The hotel was perfect for us! The rooms were clean and spacious and the little terrace we had was lovely. The pool and sun loungers were great and easy to get to each day! The food choice was plentiful and very good for a buffet! Some things they cooked could be better but there was always something we loved and the dinner was always amazing. But what really made our holiday was the animation team, they were FANTASTIC. Every single one of them. They were so energetic, so happy, and made everyone feel welcome - we really loved them! They got us doing so many fun activities, meeting new people and making everyone have a laugh! It was the perfect holiday.

Hotel - see Google maps, about 20 mins walk to Playa Blanca sea front. The hotel itself is very large, and based on idividual bungalow premises with a veranda. Walls are thin, so its easy to hear those next door! Rooms benefit from air con. 1st complaint. Our room wasnt cleaned for 4 days, even though we complained, but we eventually received an apology and had our towels changed. We did find a live cock roach in our room and a spider or two. 2nd complaint -Outside our room was a open sewage drain that was pumping in water, and absolutely stunk of sewage. Nothing was done despite complaining!! Food - was generally good, but appeared the same food every day, for every meal, and was disappointing. Pools - Were busy with the usual 'towel on beds' issue. There was plenty of space though and no real need for it. We used the large pool (not main pool), and was much quieter, but a 2 min walk to the pool bar. Drinks - Take your own plastic cup! (pint size), because they user small cardboard 'Pepsi' cups for all types of drinks (awful). The place appears to be dated and requires renovation in parts. Entertainment- The staff worked hard and tried their best to appease holiday makers. The shows were 'alright', but nothing special! Overall - Score 3/5 . Value for mone, but this hotel could be so much better. If I paid more then I would have been disappointed. Would I go back? I think I would rather pay more for better quality, but like I said, it was cheap, so not that disapointed.
