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 😊

We arrived in Puerto Galera a lot later than expected and received a lovely friendly phone call from the staff asking if we were ok and checking to see if we needed help on the way to the accommodation. All the staff were so friendly and helpful if we asked anything. They helped us book snorkeling and island hopping trips and also arranged for us to have our ferry tickets (for when we had to leave) delivered to the resort. They then brought these up to our room. We were lucky enough to be invited to the Christmas parties and have the delicious food, including fresh yellow fin tuna sashimi. We loved the ocean view from the 4th floor shared balcony and from the balcony right outside our 3rd floor room and the fact Playa Blanca has a swimming pool that also looks directly out to the ocean. The location of Playa Blanca is down the quieter end of White Beach so it is not noisy at night and it is still within walking distance to restaurants. It is also about a 10 minute walk up to the main street if you need to go to the shops up there. We did some snorkeling outside the resort that was ok, but make sure you take a snorkeling trip to the Coral Gardens. The snorkeling there is amazing. We would definitely stay at Playa Blanca again as the value for money was great and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. The owners of Playa Blanca as well as the staff made the holiday fantastic.

View from pool is very good. Our room is beside the pool. Room is clean and does not smell smoke. A lot of nearby restaurants. The food is ok but the chef needs to leave after our first day of stay.

We had a wonderful time during our stay in Playa Blanca. Among all the hotels, it offered the best room view. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. The owner interacted with the guests and made sure everything was going well throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend this place! 😊
