Hotels Near Buskers Bar in Playa Blanca

Decided to have a week in the sun and stayed for a week at the Mynd Yaiza. It is well positioned in Costa Blanca. Our room was clean with a good shower. As has been mentioned in other reviews the door to the toilet is opaque. No idea why the hotel thought this was a good idea. Obviously the designer didn’t understand that some things human beings like to do in private. The television was Spanish only, with the hotel expecting guests to link their subscription channels from their phone to the TV. We have no subscriptions so this wasn’t possible for us. While watching TV on holiday didn’t bother us we would usually have expected access to a news channel when abroad eg CNN, sky news or BBC news. Breakfast was good but evening meals were a bit monotonous. Perhaps they could have done themed evenings eg Spanish night, Italian night etc. to make them more interesting The surroundings were spotlessly clean the pool was heated. Appreciated a water bottle filling point. Sadly reception staff were unaware and told us they didn’t fill water bottles! Many people we listened to were very confused about the credit system, this wasn’t a problem for us , but I think an old fashioned guest information book in the rooms would hep.

The complex is well set out and about 800 metres from the nearest beach, shops and restaurants. Reception will call a taxi into town and it is only 3 ~ 4 euro. The two outdoor pools have plenty of loungers and a pool bar. Very loud music throughout the day so don’t expect a relaxing sunbathe.There is an indoor pool and gym for over 18s. This could do with a little tlc. The water features and jacuzzi are out of order at present. The mini market is well stocked and competitively priced. Fresh bread every day. Happy hour is 1200 to 1300 and 1800 to 1900. Some drinks are excluded from the offer such as wine and some spirits. The barman disappears sometimes in the evening without explanation! The pathways and public areas could do with more regular cleaning and the pool bar area is a bit scruffy, considering it is the main drinking place. The poolside bins are often overflowing and the litter blows about. All the glass needs cleaning. Our one bed apartment is perfectly fine, with regular cleaning and linen changes. It looks recently decorated and is very comfortable. No complaint at all. A budget complex that is popular with families and older visitors alike. The reception staff are lovely and will help in any way.

This was our second stay at H10 White Suites and it never fails to deliver! We paid extra to have suites with a pool view and requested that our daughter had the room next door which she did! We loved the balcony with the sun lounger and chairs and table. The rooms are cleaned every day and the whole hotel is spotlessly clean. The pool area was washed and cleaned most days and the garden areas attended to which are beautiful. The staff work incredibly hard and are so friendly and willing to please. They also have a great sense of humour! The guy who greeted us on reception when we arrived was amazing - so warm and welcoming and took us to our room. We paid for All Inclusive and the food was delicious! The lunchtime salads were so tasty and we loved the fresh fruit provided. A big shout out to Moulod who worked so hard in the Sirocco Bar. Your are allowed one meal during your stay at the Dolce Vita Restaurant which I think is a very fair rule. We couldn't fault it. The arancini starter was gorgeous and I would recommend the cheese and pear ravioli. We also had a complimentary glass of lemoncello at the end of the meal. There were plenty of sunbeds and the pool side bar was the perfect place to get drinks and snacks during the day. The whole hotel has a relaxed and calm atmosphere. Music was provided near the pool for a couple of hours during some of the days and also in the evening in the Sirocco and Pool side bar. We watched as friendships were made between guests, everyone looked happy and we just loved our stay. By the way, none of us had food poisoning. I just can't understand the negative reviews that some have written about this hotel. My advice is that you must come to this hotel!

We are here now , our third visit but have not been for a few years. This wonderful Hotel is even better than we remembered. The room is so spacious, clean and has everything you could possibly need. The breakfast which can be taken in several of their restaurants ( we have tried them all) is just perfect! Whatever you fancy for breakfast, you can have ! Quality ingredients and no queuing, freshly squeezed orange juice is sooo good too! The Hotel is stunning as are the outdoor areas, pools are beautiful and no problem getting a bed whatever time you choose. for families there is so much for the children to do ! We love the piano bar in the evening for a couple of cocktails, the waiters are charming and make your evening very special. All the staff here are kind, friendly and professional from check in to the housekeepers, they always greet you with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. We had a lovely surprise in our room for my Husbands birthday, the table was decorated and a chocolate birthday cake in the fridge. I didn’t request this, they just did it which is wonderful, thank you!! We will definitely be back and cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you !!!

Our stay at HL Paradise Island Hotel was absolutely fantastic! We opted for the all-inclusive package, and it exceeded our expectations. The food was varied and delicious, with plenty of options for every meal, and the drinks were great too. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. When the music from the bar was a bit loud in our original room, they didn’t hesitate to address the issue. We were quickly moved to a quieter room without any hassle, making us feel truly valued as guests. The facilities were spotless, the atmosphere was lively yet relaxing, and the overall experience was amazing. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this hotel for a stress-free getaway!

We had a nice clean appartement which was very spacious. The bed is really good, very soft and we slept like babies. Bathroom was nothing special but clean which is the most important thing. Breakfast is a bit on the expensive side. (8,- for 2 small orange juice). The staff was friendly. We would’ve liked to stay longer but unfortunately it was fully booked. The only downside was the 100,- borg that has to be payed with creditcard as we didn’t have one but we got the appartement anyway. I recommended this place to others if they’re looking to relaxed without the screams from tourists. If you read this as a tourist please keep this beautiful island clean and show your respect. (We walked around with an empty bag picking up trash along the road)

Labranda review First of all I would like to say we stayed here in 2024 and thought it was a good hotel for what we paid so decided to return …. But boy were we wrong this time standards have changed a lot , it is not how we found it last year at all , this year we booked 3 adults in room looking forward to lazing around on the sunbeds outside the bungalow how wrong we were we asked for an extra sunbed for the 3rd person only to be told no as there is only enough around the pool for number of guest in the bungalows .. yet every time we passed the pool there were lots and I mean lots of sunbeds free I find it very bizarre that the extra adult in our room didn’t get full facilities to use as the other two guest , although they did supply an extra chair around the patio table so we had to keep switching around on who could use the sunbeds , absolute joke , and not a nice way to treat your 3rd guest and not good customer service to make your guest feel welcomed or catered for , we also found the cleaning not up to good standard this time the floors weren’t mopped properly probably with dirty water on some days as we ended up with really dirty socks from walking g around the bungalow and was our cups on some days weren’t washed by the cleaner and the daily free bottle of water a day is now non existent, so you have to pay for it , the door on the bathroom was so hard to open and got stuck plenty on times , the sofa bed was dirty , plaster was dropping off the wall behind the mural , and the air conditioning unit was absolutely filthy , there was always an awful smell in the reception area , never did find out what it was , the sunbeds around the pool area are so close together and I mean inches apart which made it uninviting as I wouldn’t like to share my personal space invaded to a point where I can smell the suncream on the stranger next to me, staff seem to be so overworked and look unhappy this I can fully understand as they always seem to be chasing their own tail, the restaurant is absolutely awful nothing looks appetising , one night was kebab meat where they were queuing 5 minutes per person for their meat helping, and then go into the rest of the buffet where things weren’t replenished which put your choice down further with things which wasn’t clearly labelled to know what was what, ok so onto the salad which again depending on what time you arrived you got just what was left , same also applies for the sweets. One night was Mexican night , on this particular night we had to scramble for a table , and then only to find there were no plates to put your food on, we decided to wait in the small bar area until things got a little less hectic .. on going back in, there were tortillas with no salsa or guacamole left and no attempt to refill them , some chilli con carne which resembled tinned meatballs cut up in a sauce , the only saving grace was the garlic chicken pieces .. my plate was filled with bits of what was left .. the eating in the rest

This was our second visit to the hotel. First the positives - the food in the main restaurant is excellent, fresh and varied at each meal and our sea view room was clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly. The negative - as others have commented, there are not enough staff in the restaurants, so you can easily wait 20 mins just to get a drink or have dirty plates removed. It's not the staff's fault, it's the management not having enough of them on duty. The same situation is found in the piano bar. My tip is to get in and sat down as soon as these places open, as it is easier to get the staff's attention. Whilst we did enjoy our week at the hotel, I think there are others in Playa Blanca that we will visit in the future.
