Amazing hotel. Five star for sure but still feels really family friendly. The room is spacious and comfy beds. First night our single bed for son only had thin blanket on but just asked at reception for a duvet the next day and that was sorted instantly. They think of everything you get wash mitts, toothbrush toothpaste a razor, shaving cream etc. So many choices of snack bars there’s Mexican, Italian, Turkish. The Starbucks is only open a couple of hours in the morning and evening but worth waiting in the small queues for a nice iced coffee the gentleman that works at the coffee bar is lovely and went out of his way to make us iced caramel frappes without the coffee for our son. Love that the beach is private from the public. The hotel is very isolated so we feel safe that strangers are not wondering in. Transfers were only 20-25 mins from airport and we’ve booked a few excursions as still have six days left. Still feel like we have lots left to explore. The beer on draft is efes which is lovely and each snack bar has a variety of cocktails. They have an outdoor barbecue section each night in the main restaurant. Would reccomend this hotel to anyone for the views and cleanliness alone. It really is beautiful. Downside is lifts can get a little busy at peak times but that’s to be expected I suppose. This time of year isn’t too busy so not had to queue for snacks and drinks much. And the roller skate waiters will skate by so if you’re not much for queuing you can always collar one of them to ask for a drink. The spa team can be a little persistent I just gave in and booked on the second day so they’d leave us alone. But the massage was lovely. Would reccomend packing lots of suncream/goggles/pool floats and toys as shop is expensive. Bodrum markets which you can get a shuttle to for 10 euro return per person was an experience! You are pulled from stall to stall with people hounding you to buy from them. I get it’s the whole experience but it’s a bit overwhelming you have to be really good at saying no several hundred times. We left the markets after ten mins and wandered round the streets instead where there are still plenty of similar shops and lovely places for food. I’d would say take euros to shop with as some market stalls would convert to lira and add on extra so if you’re not fast with converting in your head they can rip you off. Overall La Blanche Island is an amazing place to stay and we’ll definitely be back again! Stunning hotel with great amenities.

This was my first visit to Turkey with friends and I was very impressed with my stay at La Blanche Island (not to be confused with another resort with the same name) I would love to come again, the all inclusive food and alcohol was amazing. The water slides were great and the beach surrounding the resort was lovely and I really enjoyed swimming in the crystal clear waters. Bring a snorkel because you will definitely see fish here. The only minor complaints was the smell of cigarette smoke near our room which was located near a fire exit and people were using it to smoke. Also, when we arrived at the resort at 9.30pm there was nothing available to eat till 11.00pm and we were starving. There was not much of a waiter service even though they would going around on roller skates near the pool area we never were asked for a drinks order. Nevertheless I would recommend this resort as it is an amazing experience.

Absolutely love this place. Beautiful beach and pools staff very friendly and helpful. Tito was amazing with the children and entertainment, made my little girl feel very welcome and encouraged her to join in. Brilliant guy and very funny Highly recommend for families

We had a lovely stay for our family moon with our 3yr old boy. Things we liked: - kids pool area and kids cocktail bar by the pool, great milkshakes and ice coffees. - Starbucks coffee (although question very long at times ) nice to have proper coffee. - the openness to the buffet area. Also loved the outside grill options. Generally good selection of food. - all the snack bars do lovely food, and great service. Mexican was our fav! - ice cream parlour was lovely although often very busy - selection of drinks - nice to not have to get up super early for sunbeds, although this changed as the week progressed and got busier. Although when ppl did save sunbeds for long than a few hrs then lifeguards would happily take the towels off if asked too. - room was spacious and clean - beautiful sea view - kiddies play area nice and also shaded Things we didn’t like - bar not serving alcohol near the kiddies pool. So if you were based there you had to walk back up the hill to get a beer. - queue for Starbucks was very long at times, and now open all day - bar service at the lobby bar was often slow… waiter service was hit and miss - very loud music round the main pools!! Awful at times! - beach was lovely with plenty of sun beds and beach bars - the staff not understanding English very well. We had a great time and would definitely love to return!!

A Very nice hotel. Family enjoyed their stay. However, the Love holiday representative that was allowed on site to book excursions cannot be trusted if any issue arises. My family and I booked a private boat for our family of 12. Seven adults and 5 children. Cost of trip £1062. The boat left the dock about 200 yards from the dock, but did not sail. There was engine problems, entering the boat, all family had to be helped as there was only one rail on right side to hold onto. Once on the boat, there were many metal contraptions, it was unsafe to allow the children to walk around.. Engineers came on board, still couldn't help. We couldn't sail for approximately 1 hour and fourty five minute or more. No real explanation was given, they then tried to offer another boat to enter on water with a big gap in between. We declined as we had something else booked that evening. Now we were told that they would look into our refund. But we were given the run around until we returned to the UK. We have been told there will be no refund as we cancelled. We did not cancel, we turned up, but what we were offered was never delivered. La Blanche is suppose to be a 5* hotel, so they really do need to monitor who comes into their hotel and rip customers off. It is a lot of money and I won't stop until I get my money back. Such a shame that this experience has left a sour taste in my mouth and a damper on our holiday. I thought a rep from such agents as Love Holiday was meant to support and make sure we are happy with our bookings to help enhance our stay. Now I don't feel able to trust these reps. I booked in good faith as they came through La Blanche hotel. I wonder if anyone else has had difficulty with excursions they have booked through this hotel?

4 star hotel at maximum. Amazing view ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Room ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pools ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beaches ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Entertainment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gym ⭐️⭐️ Kids area ⭐️⭐️ both below average really You get what you pay for… Overall I would recommend. We had a really nice time.

We are leaving the hotel today after a week spent on this resort. Absolutely no issues in terms of views form your rooms and around the resort. Absolutely picturesque and beautiful (see attached pictures) however if you are expecting a holiday where service is above and beyond and you want to try new foods everyday then this isn’t the best in that area I have stayed in Turkey many times in my life (Antalya been the favourite) however this hotel was just a little lacklustre. Perhaps my standards can be seen as a little high however from the many hotels in Turkey I have stayed at, service is usually brilliant at coming up and asking what drinks you would like, even around the pool. This hotel was very ‘sort yourself out’ and get everything yourself (this was fine once we worked this out). Turkey is also becoming increasingly common in seeing the well known roller skaters on resorts- you will not see this here Lobby bar will just collect your drinks and rarely ask for a new order for you, but when eating they are very quick to ask for your drinks order- so a little hit and miss I won’t lie Hotel rooms are spacious but strange they have carpet? Maybe just me haha. The room doesn’t offer a mini fridge and a mini bar however do not be expecting snacks with the mini bar as this seems to just be for those in upgraded/ swim up rooms. However the bar does provide nuts As for the food, a lot of the reviews for this hotel was in mention to the buffet and how it isn’t brilliant. Me and my partner usually disregard reviews like this and like to try for ourself as everyone has a different pallet for food however I sadly would have to agree. The buffet at this hotel truly had to be one of the worst I’ve ever encountered, and sadly the thing that brought this hotel rating down for us. Despite this hotel been a 4 or 5 star resort I would actually rate the buffet alone a 2.5- absolutely terrible. If you are happy eating the same old every night this isn’t for you, and sadly unless you were happy paying for an al a carte every night you are stuck as the snack bars shut at 5. We would advise eating as much as possible at the great snack bars or pancake stands throughout the day and using the buffet as a top up if peckish By no means are me and my partner fussy, we will eat absolutely anything and will give everything a go but; Breakfast we only did twice in the whole holiday as everything was the same everyday. The only fruit available was apples pears and oranges until maybe the last 3 days of our trip where they every now and again brought out melon and cherries. The scrambled egg was like eating rice pudding and the beans were flavourless Lunch, we tried to avoid lunch buffet and use the snack bars, BECAUSE, if you went to the lunch buffet you were getting EXACTLY the same meals at dinner. Not anything different at all Snack bars we could not fault and were delicious. We just wished they stayed open till like 8pm to allow for extra food options if dinner w
