Hotel HL Río Playa Blanca

A very pleasant stay at a clean, tidy hotel. The food was a good choice for an all-inclusive and very tasty. Our room was tidy, but the mattresses could be a bit better. The pool area was very nice, and the entertainment team was fantastic, with lots of daily activities, a mini disco every night, and amazing themed shows. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars due to a couple of minor issues. There weren't enough sun umbrellas, and a leaking AC unit was reported but never fixed. AC in dining area should be more efficient. Overall, we had a very pleasant family holiday 👍

We enjoyed our 10 days stay at Rio Player Blanca. Only thing I’d say, That they need to work on is the breakfast And different drink package. I would highly recommend taking a plastic cup/bottle for the poolside. We decided to go to the second pool each day because it was quieter. But the only issue about that is that the entertainment Staff wouldn’t come round to that pool. So the kids would miss out. The main pool was too busy to get a sun-bed. I do say on all the leaflets that they would take sun-bed towels away if you haven’t been on them for two hours. But this never happened. In a way that was good. But remember, we went in mid August and it was very busy.

This is a late review as we have stayed here the last 2 years and are going back in 3 weeks time with all the family. I have seen some pretty unfair reviews regarding the drinks and food and would like to clear this up. There is beer on tap, wine on tap, soft drinks on tap and local spirits...what more do you need. One of the main reasons we keep coming back is because of the choice of food available. We have 5 children and being kids, they are fairly fussy however there is a really good mix of food and always something different available. I'm a big foodie and find the food is really tasty with a huge selection be it meat, fruit, vegetables or desert. The staff are incredible, always happy to help and they keep the place clean and tidy. The rooms are spacious and they are clean with good air conditioning. Credit to the cleaners because they work really hard. There are times when we have told them not to worry about cleaning the room because we keep ours clean anyway. Great entertainment for adults and children. All in all this hotel is a fantastic place to stay so well done HL group, keep up the good work

I don’t understand how anyone can rate this under 4 stars?! The food is incredible for an all-inclusive buffet. Drink selection is great. The rooms are clean, there are four family’s in our group and all four rooms were fine! Staff were friendly. Do not listen to the karens posting a picture of a cockroach or a rusty door hinge its pathetic, considering what we paid for this place and the amount of amazing food we ate, decent beer and cocktails kids loved the entertainment. What more could you want??

Ex TUI holiday village and not hard to see why they lost that title. The location is nice, but they are really understaffed meaning the few staff they have on site are overworked, stressed and therefore not very friendly. The common sight of staff cleaning the outside areas in other TUI hotels doesn't exist here which means the common areas can seem grubby when busy. The onsite 'gym' turns out to be a Wendy house where every machine is broken beyond repair, it does have half a set of dumbbells and a ragged bench.... Meals are the usual TUI fare, breakfasts are much better than usual in my opinion (because they have really good bacon). The onsite Italian is mediocre and we were informed by the manager BEFORE WE EVEN ORDERED that we had to rush as he had to turn the table around. Very rude. The entertainment is lacking. The on site team do stupid little things around the pool once a day like guess someone's age and win a shot. Bit of pool Zumba. The evening entertainment is very poor, it's either a local double act doing some unicycle riding/ gymnastics for 30mins or the on site team miming along to popular movie soundtracks while prancing about in costume. Weirdly though they have a full theatre setup which could host some really good shows, a leftover from the holiday village days I guess. Overall I would say the worst TUI site we've visited and would recommend trying the mainland Spain or greek versions instead.
