PLAYA BLANCA BEACH RESORT(Adults Only)

We have a good experience at playa blanca.. Staffs are very accomodating and nice.. We enjoyed our stay at playa blanca.. If you will visit puerto galera add playa blanca in your hotel list you wont regret it the rooms are cozy and very clean as well as their bathrooms.. 

We have stayed here at Playa Blanca for two times. The hotel is located in the end of the island. The room is simple but clean, we were even given an early check in with no additional fee. The owner of the hotel is really nice, he gave us complimentary beer while we were swimming at the pool! The hotel on the other hand has no restaurant but there are a lot of restaurants along white beach. Definitely a home in puerto galera

What a lovely beach so clean beautiful clear water you can see the fish swimming at the top of the water the beds and parasol are a reasonable price to hire .
Theres also a nice little bar were you can get a cold or hot drink and ice cream  .
Theres lots of places to eat round about the beach .
Would highly recommend  this beach it's great for children

Love this place!😍 Exquisite views!🏖 And the owners Sid and Rita are awesome hosts! Jo the general manager is spectacular! We were pampered and waited on around the clock! And they arranged tours and scuba diving as well!🤗

HOSPITALITY 💖💋
CALM + FAR FROM NOISE 💓❣️💋
POOL + TERRASE 💋💕💝
GOOD FOR FRIENDS/FAM OUTING 

So ! we've stayed here for 3nights, if im not mistaken ! Ate receptionist were so kind and hospitable and kalog ! so
 feel free to ask her anything. good for 6-8pax or maybe more. pero kami we're only 6 and there's still 1 extra bed left which is good foe 2 person. 

On the eve of my departure from White Beach,  I met Rita and Sid, proprietors of Playa Blanca Beach Resort. After a lovely conversation and a quick tour of the rooms, I decided to extend my stay for 3 days and check into the their resort. It was a wise decision. I had a single room looking over the beautiful plunge pool, overlooking all of White Beach. Rita, Sid and Jo were wonderful hosts. The rooms were clean and the plunge pool was great to relax in at the end of the day. The small resort bar had cold beer, great views and cool breezes for napping or reading. The resort is also located at the quiet end of the beach, with 2 great restaurants located directly beside the resort. I look forward to returning soon!

The owner is a friendly and helpful person. He gave us many advise both about Mindoro and other islands. What is more the rest of the stuff is helpful too.
Price comparing to quality is very ok. The location of the Playa Blanca BR is marvelous with a great view on the bech and ocean. 
Plenty of bars and restaurants around in walking distance. 
If you are coming by car the best is to approach it is to park on the main road (where is a sign). Than walk down on the stairs and ask owner about parking. Parking is with an extra charge (about 100 peso) but with a 24/h survarlence. 

Strongly recommend this place!

The best Hotel in Puerto Galera

Family day at the beach

Great host, beautiful view and cosy

EXCELLENT !  

3 day extension in paradise

So much fun 

Amazing 

Location: 10/10 beachfront hotel and just few minutes walk away from bars & restaurants
Stairs: 1/10 very steep
Staff: 7/10 A guy assisted us to carry our bag downstairs to our room. We parked at the roadside above the hotel. They were responsive at first but when we're checked in and asked for the netflix pincode, they were not responding so we had to go down the stairs to personally ask them. They still were not able to answer us though, so we just came back to our room and then they messaged us that it's no longer working. We used our own netflix account. 
Kitchen/Foods: 6/10 They have menu in their rooms where you can order foods and have it delivered to you for your convenience BUT when we tried to message the number indicated, they said they're away and no one will cook. 
AC: 10/10
Toilet&Bath: 9/10 
Smell: 8/10 
Lights: 6/10 Had to plug in the lampshade and to leave the bathroom lights open because the main light was so dim. 
Overall for Room 4: 8/10. When we arrived, the floor was wet, no slippers provided, just two towels and sachets of shampoos and soap. There's a fridge with drinks that will be charged to you if you consume. 
Pool: 9/10 view was great, pool's a little bit small and only 3ft deep
Parking space: 2/10 their main parking space could only fit 2 cars.

NOT SO BAD BUT NOT SO GOOD

Stayed for one night, it’s location is at the quiet end of white beach so not too noisy , the welcome from owner and receptionist was very friendly and good and they helped book our ferry home the next day.
The pool is too small, just a splash pool really only 3ft deep and nowhere to sit except if you occupy the rooms on that level. 
There are many many steep steps so it’s not suitable for someone with mobility issues or someone who gets really drunk while enjoying the vibrant nightlife of white beach.
The room was clean, with two double beds , a fridge, tv and a decent shower room.
Overall it was nice but I’m glad we stayed for the majority of our holiday around the corner at The Tamaraw beach resort because that had sunloungers and sun umbrellas on the beach so somewhere to sit in the shade, and it had a nice pool there. The Playa Blanca is a lot smaller and does what it can with its limited space. 


Nice but lots of steps

Stayed for 2 nights. 

The location was perfect for us - at the end of White Beach, away from most of the weekend crowds and evening noise, but still close enough to walk to the cheaper restaurants. It was also close to the rocks towards Tamaraw beach if you want to explore. Also, the beachfront was really nice. Drinks can be ordered from the restaurant right next to the hotel. 

Can't say enough kind words for Ace. She was very friendly, and accommodating and made sure we were having a good time. 

It was a rocky start to our weekend though, because the Manager wanted us to change rooms for the 2 nights that we were going to stay. We refused the offer of upgrading us to the VIP room for the first night, because we really didn't want the inconvenience of moving all our things only for 2 nights. So we requested to be given a room that would be available for both nights. This seemed to be an unreasonable request to the manager who was very SNARKY and short-tempered and obviously irritated at us. Her attitude simply was not acceptable; especially because we booked directly with the property and it was their online booking system that had problems. I just refused to confront her because I didn't want to start our birthday weekend on a low note. Also, typically, it would be the guests who have arrived earlier that would be accommodated, but it seemed like they were prioritizing the booking of the guests who were still arriving the following day.  (If she asked nicely too, we would probably have considered.) 

We were eventually given a room that we paid for, but we were given a room with the view of a wall, and not the view of the sea (which is what we paid extra for). Also the room was very smelly - which we were told by the staff was because of the plumbing at the back of our room and the smell was sucked in our room by the AC. We were not informed of this while we were checking in and requesting for the room. They didn't seem to do anything about it, so I just asked for glade and sprayed the room constantly. (Was this payback for not agreeing to move rooms?) 

There were at least two cockroaches in our room and 1 giant spider that we asked the guy on duty to kill for us. 

Bed was comfortable enough; TV was working; AC was not too cold, but the fan helped. We used our own blanket though because the blanket provided had a smell (like it wasn't dried properly) and they couldn't provide a replacement blanket. 

Overall it was an ok stay. If we were given a room that didn't smell, and were treated nicely by the Manager, I would've given them 5 stars. It was disappointing that we didn't experience the hospitality from the owners and manager that we read about in other guests' reviews. Ace was this hotel's saving grace. 

And the stairs were really steep as advertised, but nothing we couldn't handle.:)
