Room is too high from the beach and little bit far from the center. A little bit scary specially if youre going up.

The place is perfect. Pool is additional plus specially for kids.

The stairs which is kinda tiring to go up and down😅 however, it's a good exercise and walk every morning.

We had the amazing ocean view in our room. Located at the white beach and beach front.

We enjoyed our stay very much. This was our first family travel and my sons birthday. The staff and the owner were very warm and welcoming. The food was great, the room and facilities was all worth it. We will definitely come back here. Thank you Playa Blanca!

The resort should make it clear that their guests need to climb stairs (equivalent to 5 floors) every time and for a pregnant and PWD travelers, this is important to know. There is no elevator.

The ocean view from our room / open space is superb

no view of beach - even though so close. steep stairs and a lot of it.

location, staff, clean rooms

The only downside is the steps going to the rooms, not for the fainthearted. Having said that I am 65 with COPD and two dodgy knees and I can do it. But this wont be an issue for much longer as they are having a Lift (Elevator) Fitted. This will make it our first choice of hotel in peurto Galera for many years to come.

This is the second time we have stayed here, and we will continue to keep coming. The view has to be the best View of White Beach that you could get. I will often stay on the Balcony looking out over the Beach. The Hotel now serves food, Which it didnt used to do under the old Management. We found the food to be first class, with very Generous portions. The Breakfast was perfect for starting your day right.

While the room is decent, there are still lots of simple things to improve upon. Firstly, the room where we stayed at (queen deluxe room) has a very dim light. The pillows and blanket are also small and thin. The ACU works fine but is hard to operate. The access stair also needs to be improved as it can be precarious to use for some.

Location-wise, Playa Blanca is among the top beachfront properties at White Beach, Puerto Galera. It boasts one, if not the best view among all hotels in the area. It also has a small swimming pool which gives the guest an excellent option to soak in the beautiful view of the beach at any time of the day. On top of these, Playa Blanca is situated at the end of the white beach which makes the place quieter. The sand on this side of the beach is much better as well. It’s like you are stepping on a huge pillow all the while swimming in the sea. All of these features are the selling points of Playa Blanca which should be enough to convince you to stay at their property shall you visit Galera’s White Beach.

The only significant disappointment was the pool’s maintenance; there seemingly was no regular cleaning, despite the daily strong winds common in the area that blow lots of stuff into the pool. I’d ask for cleaning and then it’d eventually get done, but to have such a beautiful asset and not take care of it to maximize its use seems kinda crazy. It should be cleaned every morning, without fail!

Beautifully situated looking down on and up White beach, this budget hotel offers amazing views, decent amenities, and a quiet area while still just a few minutes walk to the center of the action! The hotel is built up the side of a hill on the southern end of the beach, and includes four or five levels with about three rooms per floor. I had a Queen Seaview room, and it overlooked the pool, and I highly recommend the rooms on this level - rooms 6, 7, and 8. We all spent hours every day just sitting enjoying the view under our covered, semi-private balcony. The only significant issue to be aware of are that there are lots of stairs involved, and coming down from the top parking lot, it must be 7-8 flights of steep stairs. So don’t book this place if you have any physical restrictions! We rented scooters, and I’d recommend parking next door at Summer Connections for a dollar a day, and limit your amount of stair climbing! The place is pretty basic, and a little dated, but the rooms are large, and reasonably well cleaned. There’s no daily maid service, but they will clean if asked, and provide TP, towels, etc. as requested. I’ll definitely return asap, and in fact, the couple that we were traveling with booked another stay for the following month 😊

If given a chance,I'd love to have a thicker window curtain in case we wanna sleep in. Otherwise, all great! And oh just a little careful on the stairs specially if you're on the top floors. Otherwise, it's all good.

The staff are attentive and reliable. The view is spectacular. They have what you need so you don't need it in case you get hungry and don't wanna go out at night, the fridge is full. If you run out of water, they can also provide it. Life jackets too, assistance in tours and water activities, you name it! And I love how quiet the airconditioner is... this is mostly a problem in local hotels.

Steep stairs, but for us 2/70 year olds. We managed ok to walk up one level.

It’s right on the beach. You can even order breakfast, lunch and dinner. The meals we ate were very delicious
