It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. It is 5 stars in my book. The service was great, the staff members were very courteous, and the food was very exquisite. I would recommend it to all my family and friends. more

I was at this hotel like 7 years ago and I loved the experience. This time I was a litlle bit frustrated. When a hotel belong to a chain, it's better just open when all the things and staff are complete. The rooms weren't bad, but the courtains and the bed blanket are a little "demode". When we arrived at... more

So, what we... more

It's the second time that I go to Hotel PlayaBallena and I hope it wouldn't be the last. I went with my wife and my 6 yo son. The hotel is wonderful, very good meals, spacious rooms and 4 pools (1 for babies, 1 for kids, 1 very big and 1 indoor). The animation team is also great with mini-disco... more
