Loved the salt water lagoon

Great communication with John! Javier was also a great help during our stay. The condo is just as advertised. Spacious, great balconies, etc. Other than mugs and utensils, all dishes are plastic, so I would suggest some things like wine glasses and real plates. It's about a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Golf cart was great for getting around the complex and going to get groceries (about 5 minutes away by golf cart). Pool is nice at the condo and use of the lagoon pool, sports fields was also excellent. The area itself is pretty quiet. There are a few places to eat out, but not a ton. The pizza place in the town centre was our favourite as was the cuban restaurant. Seems like some businesses may have closed as there are empty storefronts in the town centre of playa blanca resort. Looks like there is lots of development planned, so I'm guessing more restaurants and bars will open in the years to come. We wouldn't hesitate to suggest John's condo to others looking for a nice getaway with great ocean views!

We had a great time during our stay at the Playa Blanca Penthouse suite! The owner responded quickly to all of our questions before and during our stay, providing helpful recommendations and information. The property was easy to find and within close proximity to a grocery store, resort amenities, and beach restaurants. The golf cart was an added bonus! The penthouse is large with terrific outdoor spaces. We enjoyed cooler temperatures in the evening on the upper balcony. The rooms are as pictured, and we appreciated having some basic spices and pantry items available. Access to the incredible saltwater pool is terrific and definitely adds great value to this property. We came during low season (June) and almost had the place to ourselves at times. We never had an issue finding chairs or feeling crowded. We also enjoyed the building pool and beach. Overall, a wonderful family vacation, and we would love to return! Thank you to our host, John, for sharing your Playa Blanca home!

John was a great host, he responded to all of my emails within minutes and the information he gave was detailed and accurate. Check in was super easy and the resort had our names for access wherever we wanted to go. We split our time between the beach and the Lagoon/saltwater pool, but the building's private pool was beautiful and rarely did we see anyone there making it feel very private. We spent most of our time on the mail level balcony but both balconies had beautiful views and we could watch the sun rise and set! The condo was well equipped with everything we needed from spices to kitchen utensils to toilet paper to beach towels. Tap water didn't taste great but the refrigerator had filtered water so we didn't need to buy any. Beds were comfortable and TVs and air conditioners in each room were a plus. Use of the golf cart was a huge bonus! We used it to go to the grocery store and to get around the resort, which is huge. Our only regret was not renting a car. Uber and taxies were everywhere but it would have been nice to have the flexibility to explore the area on our own. Staff for the building and in the resort were very friendly and helpful. We had a great experience!!
