Iberostar Ciudad Blanca

I have stayed in Iberostar Ciudad Blanca hotel from June 28th - July 12th together with my parents with an all-inclusive tariff and we loved the hotel! *** STRONGEST points *** - The quality and diversity of the food are really good and are absolutely at the level of a 5* hotel. I've been in 5* hotels that didn't have the same diversity and quality in terms of the buffet. This applies to all meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner. - The staff is really nice and kind, from the reception to the housecleaning, bar and restaurant staff. A special mention and thanks to Isabel which is usually working at the restaurant as she is particularly friendly and is always with a smile! Also, a special thanks to the man in charge of the bar at night for his kindness and for helping us plan the visits on the island. - The location is extremely well located, with direct access to the beach and to the sea ​​walk which led directly to Alcudia's Port (which is, by the way, a very nice walkway to do at sunset or evening). It is also located in one of the main avenues of Port d'Alcúdia with lots of local stores and also restaurants. *** Things to improve *** - The pool bar should have snacks during all of its opening hours (including when the buffet restaurant is opened!). - You can only change your pool towels (which have a 10EUR fee for each towel, by the way) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 which is such a tight schedule. - The safe box is charged at 3 EUR/day even if you are in an all-inclusive regime, which does not make sense. - The timetables of the restaurant are the following: breakfast (7:30 - 10:30 AM), lunch (13:00 - 15:00), dinner (18:30 - 21:30). Well, it does not make sense to have dinner starting at 18:30 and lunch only at 13:00. By this logic (which affects babies/little children/old people), the lunch should start at 12:00 or 12:30 max. *** Things to keep in mind if you are planning to stay in the hotel and are not directly the Hotel's fault *** - This is a family hotel. As such, expect a significant amount of babies and (small) children and all the crying and noise. - You have to pay 6.5EUR per chair per day in the beach as it is explored by Alcudia's Town Hall and not by the hotels. You, however, get a safe box to put your belongings.

My husband & I had a wonderfully relaxed week. Food was fantastic, view from our room was amazing. Staff were helpful at all times. We had a family holiday there last year & wondered how it would be on our own this time. But it was just as good & we will be booking again for next year.
