It really is hard to believe you're in Cuba, when you see naked people on the beach. That is the case on a good part of this island. To the right facing the sea at Hotel Playa Blanca, to the left at Hotel Sol on the other end of the hotel strip, at Playa Paraiso (quite possibly the most beautiful... More

Take a taxi from the airport to the hotel, it's only 2 pesos a person, and beats that crowd of people trying to cram themselves and their luggage into the buses. Our room was great. Most people don't seem to enjoy the main building, but we have stayed in it for 3 out of our 4 times there. I specifically... More

The room (we had a bungalow) was very clean and our air, fridge and water worked perfect we alwasy had fresh waterbottles and beautiful towel art from our maid... More

We spent another wonderful week at Playa Blanca over this past Christmas break (Dec.30-Jan.6). The staff are so friendly and accommodating, and to our delight we learned that return guests are treated to a wonderful mulit-course feast of lobster, fish, and steak. The food was super - plenty of choices at all mealtimes - both buffet and a la carte,... More

We just returned from 2 weeks at Playa Blanca - our 6th visit to Cayo Largo. As usual we were warmly received by staff at the hotel, who have become our friends over the years. The weather was wonderful - hot and sunny; windy most days. We slept with our balcony door open every night listening to the pounding of... More

Spent 1 week end of November at Playa Blanca. We had a wonderful week. The beach is breathtaking. Arrival: A short bus ride brings you to the hotel. Front desk employees are sweet and effective. We made some requests and they were all granted. Room: We had two nice rooms, nice view, very quiet. Different from many hotels we went... More

The beaches are beautiful! The expensive price is for the beach but not the accommodation. We spent all of our time at the beach. Soft sand and blue blue sea. The resort is ok. Room is clean, but the bathtubs and toilets are a bit old and rusty. Nice hot water supply. Food is average but supply of food is... More

We stayed at the Playa Blanca resort from January 27-February 3, 2012. The resort and staff are wonderful. The beach in front of the resort is iffy, but there is access to a beach a short walk away, which has lots of palapas and chairs. You do need to get there early in the morning to reserve one, or you'll... More
