Playa Blanca Holiday Reviews

Lovely walks and beautiful beaches. we use a little beach near the hotel not much sand but the sea was warm, clean and so clear, had to buy myself snorkelling gear..loads of fish. only there seven days allinclisive, so did not eat out nor feel the need to shop, although we did go to the rubicon market on the wednesday (also there on a sunday) which was quite good.

The trips on offer seemed good but can be booked for cheaper if you venture into playa blanca town. The market at the Marina is on wednesdays and saturdays and i would highly recommend it. We took a stroll to the Papagayo beaches (notoriously nudist beaches, just to warn you) but if you can cope with naked people, they are quite beautiful. We also took a walk to the Marina (also lovely), had drinks in Cafe Del Mar (poor service), walked round the market which was full of novelty items and some fantastic wine sold by a lovely old man and then walked to Playa Dorada, which has all the touristy shops in it. Takes about 40 minutes to get to Playa Dorada when walking on the coast road, and it is quite a nice way to go we think. Very peaceful.

There is plenty of slow walks eithere way from the hotel and a nice promenade walk into playa blanca. But if you want to travel to best beach a taxi will cost you 3 euros. We found a newly opened fantastic chip shop-right by the dorada beach. Next to Mollies Bar called The plaice in the Sun, up the side by the cycle hire shop. Fish chips n mushy peas with a pint of san miguel sitting in the sun watching people on the beach and in the sea- in november!pop in and say hello to Jeff from up north! the hotel entertainment not great but nightlife in irish bars by playa blanca beachfront a must!. A trip to the market wednesday and saturday is good. But not all stalls there both days. We will be returning again for the winter next year - if not credit crunched!

Resort of playa blanca is fabulous we spent the first 3 days of our 2 wks stay exploring the area finding our feet and after these 3 days we knew were everything was so then we enjoyed the rest of the holiday, beaches excellent and golden not volcanic as you would think as the sand is all imported. We traveled on glass bottom boat, saw futureventure island there was so much to do to type you must see it for yourself to appreciate. our boys really really enjoyed it that much that our 3yr old didnt want to come home, saying that neither did we...there is no loud rowdy bars, nice and quiet area for doing the family thing an all round lovely place.

Playa Blanca is a busy little place with plenty of cafe's and souvenir shops and a nice harbour, we so enjoyed visiting it so much to chill out and watch the world go by. It is kept lovely and clean everywhere even the long promenades, Lanzarote must work hard to achieve this There is a small beach where you can go swimming or to sunbathe. Walk a bit further on and there is a bigger Marina and there is a market which is there twice a week.

BEACH Lovely pretty place where we spent all of our days. Great beach with 3 euro lounger hire per day. The hotel run a shuttle service to & from the beach, first coach leaves at 10.10am and I think the last one back is around 3.30-ish, but we used to get a cab back later normally costing 4-5 euros. We walked back once but to be honest it was a bit of a slog, well worth a taxi ride. The hotel is a bit out of the way but again the cab fare into playa blanca is 4-5 euros & takes a few mins.

The new Marina area is fairly near, and the main village is a pleasant stroll away, either along the sea front or down the main road. We have been to Playa Blanca quite a few times and we consider the Playa Dorada to be a good quality, relatively good value compared to some of the large hotels in the resort.

Playa Blanca is a quiet resort on the whole, more suited to couples of all ages than to young parties or even to families, unless there are kids' clubs in the hotels, but it is an attractive resort with a very long seafront and 3 beaches.

There is plenty of things to do such as going to the timanfaya national park or the rancho texas zoo! The beaches are lovely but always quite busy, my favourite beaches are playa flamingo and playa dorado. There are lots of bars and restaurants along the sea front. The rubicon marina is beautiful there is a market there every saturday and wednesday.

i believe this place to be very child and adult friendly, and an enjoyable exciting adventure for all.

This resort is very easy to get around. Ideal for families or the disabled,with a traffic free promenade going the length of the resort.There are three small but very nice sandy beaches.If you go to the largest of these.the Papagao beach be sure to visit The Terrace Bar & Restaurant if you want areally super freshly cooked meal.The steak & ale pies are superb.Just look behind Burger King to find it. You will get awarm English welcome fom Mark & pauline.On wednesday & Saturday mornings the market at the marina is well worth a visit.

The beach was a 10minute walk away along the sea front but you could get a taxi into the town were there was a better lovely white sand beach. There is a lovely walk to Playa Blanca - it is a good walk though and takes around 45minutes, but the walk is along a safe, traffic free walkway right next to the sea. Natura Palace is a beautiful hotel in a peaceful area and any other hotel would have a lot to live up to in comparison.

The only thing I would say is that it may not be to everybody's taste, as there are no nightclubs and no lagar louts!

There is a lovely walk to Playa Blanca - it is a good walk though and takes around 45minutes, but the walk is along a safe, traffic free walkway right next to the sea.A seafront promenade runs past the hotel to the town centre which is about two miles away. The Marina with boutiques, cafes, shops and the Saturday market is another mile.

Beautiful resort. Very clean and with an abundance of shops and restaurants. Lovely promenade towards the harbour. There is also a lovely walk out to the Rubicon Marina where there is a nice (not tacky) market twice a week.

Recommend the catamaran and timanfaya trips. The island is gorgeous, but not much to do unless you do go on a trip. All in all a very relaxing holiday. The hotel is on the sea front, with 2 small beaches 20 yards away. These beaches were rocky, but good for snorkling. There is a bus to a sister hotel which is 3 mins from Playa Dorada, a nice beach (4 sun beds and 2 parasols 15 euros for the day).The hotel is about 30mins walk to the centre of playa blanca and further for the rubicon marina but it is a nice walk along the promenade. Taxis are not much more than 4Euros for a ride back but i believe there is a free bus to and from the Lanzarote H10 Princess from the hotel.

Love the marina and a market is held here twice a week. Lots of good restaurants and nice shops.The main resort is also full of restaurants along the sea front with great views with the shops in a pedestrianised area behind. Transfer to the resort is about 30-40 mins by taxi. You can also get a ferry over to Fuerteventura which makes a good day out.
