Le Blanc Spa Resort

This was my first time at an all inclusive resort. I was not disappointed at all. The staff was AMAZING and made sure we were taken care of every single minute. A HUGE shoutout to Butler9, Byliyoel and David. They were on top of everything and took great care of us! Lizbeth kept our room spotless and stocked with all we needed. Also, great thanks to Laura and Andres for leading incredible exercise classes in and out of the pool. Lucy and Artemis made our days relaxing at the pool comfortable and enjoyable. The food and service at all the restaurants was superb. We never missed the churros and ice cream everyday at the pool. We didn’t leave wanting for any food. The most exciting part was we were able to witness the turtles coming up on shore to lay their eggs and also to see the previous eggs hatching and hundreds of baby turtles trying to make their way to the ocean. Thank goodness the biologists were there to protect them. Le Blanc is a beautiful, relaxing paradise that everyone needs to experience at least once.

We returned to le Blanc, our seventh visit in ten years. During that time there have been changes, both to the fabric of the hotel, the staff and the services. Firstly we were picked up at the airport, by the hotel transport. Air conditioned and offered a cool drink for the 25 minute journey. Plus order advanced drinks upon arrival, pure class. We were allocated a Junior suite on the seventh floor, giving views along the coast and the area occupied by the Iguana's in the morning sunshine. A relaxing place to start the holiday. The food, service and staff was, as always, top, top quality. The staff are fantastic and it is hard to single out individuals, but those who get a special mention are:

Eduardo, Santiago – Butlers Fausto, Jose, Brian - Waiter Steakhouse Brito - Day Butler Chef Roger - Steakhouse Francisco – Breakfast Manager Nancy, David, Manuel - Breakfast servers Italian – Manager and Irving(chef) Pool – Laura, Marine, Caesar, Dana, Jeanette, Yama - Christian Letitia - Lunch server.

We felt that the use of iPad devices has made the ordering much better and reduced significantly the chance of returning food to the kitchen. The "all inclusive wine choice" is not as comprehensive as in previous years. Most of these have been moved onto the "pay list". But, with the removal of resort credits for non-members, we feel this is a backward step, but understand the companies drive to expand this type of membership. Those who have one of the different types of membership, get the opportunity to reserve sets at the evening events. But sadly many do not bother to turn up. Arrogance or just because they can? The general Manager, Janai, leads by example, and is a inspiration to the staff that forms this special group of people.

Will we return? I hope so! However, as "Father time" catches up with us and the ache's and pains associated with that, we will have to see. The ten hour flight from the UK, is long, but the relaxation and consideration that le Blanc offers is welcome relief and we return home with memories and rested.

We had a wonderful experience here. Our butlers were exceptional. They were attentive to our every need. We would also like to mention Raul, the bartender in the main lobby. He knew exactly how to fix our favorite drinks and always had a smile on his face. Also, Jesus at the pool was fantastic . Whether it was towels, drinks or lunch he was always there to make sure our every need was met. Another special thanks to the violinist Indira (ms). The staff made the experience truly wonderful
