San Carlos and Playa Blanca supplied me with a hassle free scuba diving experience. Playa Blanca is located on a beautiful and very usable beach with white, soft silica fine sand. Only a stumble away from the Soggy Peso and Bonifacio's both bar restaurants are a must not miss while here. The staff were very friendly and helpful but need... More

Being a frequent traveler to Mexico, I need to know what to eat and where to stay. Playa Blanca meets both of these needs. The rooms are luxurious - and seriously compare to 5 star quality by US standards. Plenty of room in the bedroom and living room means no one feels crowded - and the view from the patio... More

When you do searches for condos around San Carlos, especially through vrbo you get a lot of places in the older part of town. I was a little apprehensive thinking Playa Blanca would be too far out of town. In fact it's the perfect distance from town. These folks not only accepted us, but our big dog as well. The... More

We may have fallen in love with San Carlos and Playa Blanca introduced us. Playa Blanca is on the most beautiful, accessible beach in the area. Only a stumble away from the Soggy Peso and Bonifacio's we felt like there were places to walk to but quiet enough to be restful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our unit... More

The hotel is right on the beach, which is erfect fr walking. It is about a 10 minute drive to the downtown area of San Carls, but the hotel has a bar and there s... More

Playa Blanca was so nice! Better than anything we were expecting. You must be aware that this is not a typical Mexican resort. They are Condos which people own & rent out. So there is no room-service or restaurant attached to the building. But the rooms come fully furnished, with a fully working kitchen. So we did groceries in the... More

The Condo-Hotel Playa Blanca was amazing. The staff was friendly, the room was well appointed and kept, the view was spectacular, the pool was perfect, and the beach was so enjoyable. We had a great time at the Playa Blanca. The security was also courteous. An onsite restaurant would have been nice but the restaurants were plentiful and close so... More

My wife and I were amazed at the outstanding views of the beach and bay from our 5th floor, beautifully appointed unit, where we stayed last week. In the past eight weeks we have enjoyed the beaches of Maui, Florida and Mexico. Considering all factors, the 'Playa Blanca' facility was the best in terms of lodging and the beach area... More

While not cheap, this place is undoubtedly the nicest place to stay in San Carlos. Luxuriously appointed condos, super clean, amazing views, great beach location, what more can I say. A+++ Thanks Dave!

My husband and I recently spent 10 days at Playa Blanca. We really enjoyed our one-bedroom condo, especially since the owner had upgraded the Internet service in the unit, so that you can get high-speed Internet (slow if going through the basic wireless at Playa Blanca).We were very pleased with the unit and had plenty of room. I liked the... More
