“Over exceeded our expectations”

We had a lovely time in La Blanche. Reception staff made our holiday. We were greeted by a very helpful gentleman from dayshift, his name started with G (I'm really sorry that I forgot his name).

We had a lovely time in La Blanche. Reception staff made our holiday. We were greeted by a very helpful gentleman from dayshift, his name started with G (I'm really sorry that I forgot his name). He was able to check us in early and upgraded us. After a long night of flying with small children, he was our savior! Throughout our week, he was there to make our stay really pleasant. We mainly stayed at the main restaurant and were pleased with the food there. Staff there were very friendly and accompanying. They made sure our kids were always cared for. Our biggest thank you goes to the lovely girl from Kazakhstan who worked on the outside tables. While the hotel is not large in size, everything was good. The seaside and the swings were our favorite place. The only thing that didn't work our was the weather. As we were visiting during end of the season, we got a very windy and first chillier week. As the sea was getting colder, we were sad to find out that both the indoor pool and outdoor pools were unheated which meant my kids couldn't really swim. I visited hammam in the spa area as well and was very happy with the foam massage and the gentleman from the spa reception. Would highly recommend! Luckily when it got windier, we could enjoy the breathtaking view to the sea and close by islands. Thanks to the upgrade we were in spacious family rooms and couldn't be happier. Thank you!

We’ve just returned from another amazing week at La Blanche Resort for October half term. This was our third visit as a family of 3 and won’t be our last. This hotel has everything that we want from a holiday. We like to relax and not stay up until 3-4am with having a young child so evening entertainment isn’t that important so we cant really comment on that. We liked to have dinner and a walk, few drinks in the lobby bar and then head back to the room. One night the bar manager provided us with a bottle of wine and glasses to take with us which was nice. We had no issues with sunbeds but it was end of season so the hotel wasn’t full. One issue we had was the first room. It was an upgrade from what we booked and the view was in unbelievable and near to the room we had last time but it was loud! You could hear every conversation and laugh from the Italian a la carte which this time round was turned into the 24hr bar. We arrived at 1am and by 4am it was still loud so we packed back up and headed back to reception to be moved which they did but we had to sacrifice our sea view. We didn’t have that noise issue last year so it may have just been an extra loud set of guests or that the 24hr bar was moved from the snack bar to the a la carte (slightly closer to the rooms). Reception were amazing though and nothing was too much trouble. The food we had was always good, we ate in the a la cartes but our favourite was the Turkish. The pool - it’s been said a million times in other reviews…it’s freezing! This is a complaint that other guests were taking out on the staff there but it’s a huge pool and it’s a seasonal hotel. It’s not the staffs fault and unlikely to change. We used the indoor pool which was a little less cold and the sea was lovely too. It was so clear and clean. Staff - we’d like to give a special thanks to Annie at customer service. What an absolutely lovely person she is, she was so helpful to us on our holiday. She’s a credit to La Blanche and when we come back we really hope she’s back. Spa staff - Omar and the team. They gave us amazing massages. There was one lady (sorry can’t think of her name but began with L - possibly Lila???) and she was fabulous!! Really sorted by back out and there was no hard sell but I went back for another. Barber Mehmet - another fabulous person. He sat and chatted with us and my partner had a few treatments/cuts by him. He was always lovely to our daughter. He’s just a lovely bubbly happy guy!! Medical staff Melissa - again she was lovely and so so helpful! Always a smile and so kind. Actually 99% of the staff were unbelievable and this is why we return. It actually feels like home from home. Is this a 5* hotel on par with others that you may find - no it isn’t but that’s reflected in the price and for what you get for your money I think it’s really good. As I mentioned before, we’ve been 3 times and although there’s been niggles and maybe it is looking a bit more tired, every time we’ve been they’ve made small but noticeable improvements which shows they want to make it better and listen to feedback. We’ll be back again and hopefully the staff we’ve mentioned above and others there this season will be back again!

“Only entertainment let us down”

I really enjoyed my holiday! The first night we arrived after 11pm and headed straight to the snack bar along the beach where we were able to eat a full meal and a cocktail! The all inclusive was great, we ate in the Turkish restaurant and the Chinese, both were delicious and offered a change from the dinner hall. The food in the dinner hall however was acceptable to me, plenty choice for all and some tasty options. The first day me and my family went for a Turkish bath that also included a massage and face mask for £60. This was a new experience for me and I would recommend. The main thing that let down our experience was the entertainment, I think this was also because we visited later in the season. There was not much available through the day and the evening entertainment was mainly dancing. The entertainment team didn’t seem to try very hard to get people involved, when it was French boules we were told there were not enough people who knew how to play which was disappointing as I believe that is part of the job to show people. We also went to the water sports just outside the hotel, two people could get ski for £45 which I thought was a good deal, the family who worked here were exceptional. I would be happy to revisit this hotel and all in all had a very relaxing holiday. If I were going back I would take a ping pong set for the table.
