My first impression was the uniqueness of the building design. Very cool architecture…read more My next impression was that the hotel was small, but not quite small enough to qualify as a boutique hotel. The parking lot probably only has 20 spaces and the lobby was very inviting. Check in was fairly smooth, but not very friendly. The king room was fairly spacious, equipped with a fridge, microwave, ironing board, a safe and a great view of the water. (All rooms face the water but there are only 4 floors so aim high if available). The pool area has two jacuzzis but only one was actually hot during my stay. I didn't make it into either. No direct access to the beach as there is no beach directly below the property but there is sand on the lower level below the pool area. Poolside service was pretty good, the beer was nice and cold and the coconut shrimp were delicious.

We came here two weeks ago for only one night. This is a beautiful place on the water with a heated…read morepool and hot tub. We decided to come back for this weekend to enjoy the pool and hot tub. While checking in we learned the hot tub was closed for maintenance but the pool was open and heated. We checked the pool when we went to dinner and it was cold. We woke up on Saturday morning to the sound of grinding and sanding from the pool area. The have a work crew grinding , cutting and sanding the pool deck with dust filling the pool and entire deck. The only reason we returned was to enjoy the heated pool and hot tub. My question or complaint is why is this work scheduled for a weekend? This is not a repair or down a few hours for cleaning, this is a big project. And should have need planned for the middle of the week when less people are staying.

Don't expect US cleanliness levels though. Slightly worn furniture and light wear on the interior are normal here. The breakfast area is harbor side with good choices. The rooms have amazing views of the pool, Marina and sunsets. The pool area is large and clean. There is free parking in the hotel lot or a public lot next door. Area is safe. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Water bottles are provided. Rooms have AC and fans. Tiled bathrooms. Most trims have balconies. Prices are high for local market but reasonable for US. Good for families and for business travelers. I recommend this hotel when visiting Guaymas.

I travel a lot so my expectations are reasonable and consistent. Playa Blanca deserves 3 1/2 stars…read morebut it's not quite deserving of four stars and certainly NOT 5 stars! The staff is accommodating and helpful and I guarantee you will need them for "issues." During my check in I experienced a few nuisances. The shower pressure was just okay, the water not very hot and wreaked of a smell like sulphur, and the shower pan pooled up away from the drain and latex stagnant. The televisions are tricky at first but eventually it was figured out and that's only because I'm "techy." Most living rooms don't have curtains, which isn't the end of the world, but it does limit some privacy a little. The bedrooms are away from the Oceanside where I would prefer to open a window and listen to the ocean. The beach and sunsets are stunning and worthy of wishing you could stop time. During off peak season the restaurant opens only on Sunday so you will need a car. The gym has a view but the equipment needs some repair & attention. The condos are well appointed but not perfect. The kitchen only has two electrical outlets and both are on either side of the stove. There are no outlets on the countertop where you really need them and where you would do your food prep! The beds aren't as comfortable as I like and there should be additional linens and pillows available. The pool has four jacuzzis and only one works! The one that does work had like warm water at best so it was useless. If I were to sum up my personal opinion of Playa Blanca Condominiums I would compare it like this; Playa Blanca San Carlos is to Cabo San Lucas what Laughlin Nevada is to Las Vegas Nevada (if you are familiar with Laughlin and Las Vegas you will know what I mean).

The parking lot and entrance is not paved so pulling up was a little rough. We walked towards the office and we were amazed by how grand everything was. There was a water fountain here in the middle and the Mexican tile was beautiful. The office itself was also beautiful as it had portraits on the walls and unique older style décor. We got our room number and keys and off we were to our room. The lady at the check in was very nice and helpful. We were a party of three so we got a two king bed room, not too far from the parking lot. The room smelt like dust and it was very outdated. We literally felt like we had gone back in time as everything was old - the TV, bedding, and furniture. The views from the courtyard are beautiful and I was amazed on how beautiful the water looked against the mountains while the sun was setting. It wasn't expensive to stay here and I would gladly stay here again. I didn't mind the outdated rooms as we were just there to sleep. The grounds are dark at night so it can be a little spooky..
