Le Blanc Spa Resort

If you are looking for total relaxation & 1 on 1 time with your travel partner, this is the place. If you are looking for activities, go elsewhere! Pros: - Space: This 260 room resort felt un-crowded at "full" capacity. - Service: Le Blanc has a high ratio of staff to guest & offer service with authentic smiles! - Layout: A variety of comfortable lounges & seating areas are arranged so you feel you are in your own private space. - Shade: Lounges by the pools & on the beach have umbrellas, canopies & trees for plenty of shade. - Sol Pool: Elevated, on the first floor, provides a nice Ocean view & breeze. - Fitness Center: Very well equipped with a variety of machines, free weights, foam rollers, balance balls etc. Towels, water, snacks are provided. This is one of the nicest gyms I’ve seen at a resort. - Room: Our Royal Honeymoon Suite had the configuration we wanted with the tub NOT in front of the window & the room was one level. The room was nice, not huge, not small, plenty of space for our stuff, good A/C, good shower pressure, plenty of electrical outlets & USB chargers. The bed was a very comfortable Tempur-Pedic foam mattress. - Meals: No crowds, no waits, no reservations except for 1 restaurant. The food was OK to very good. Vegetarians may need to make special requests & the chef will be happy to make adjustments. - Spa: Free guided hydrotherapy is a must do if you like saunas, steam rooms, whirl pools & relaxing loungers. The spa itself is very relaxing with sounds & lighting. The layout can be tricky for those with walking impairment. Treatments are way overpriced. I used the 250 maximum allowed resort spa credits towards a facial, which made my out of pocket fees about what I would normally pay for a facial. - Ocean: The colors are beautiful; the water is warm & crystal clear when there was no seaweed. The ocean floor is soft sand & there can be waves to body surf. - Alcohol: The Lobby & Cavo bar will have most any top shelf drink you desire. Cons: - Activities: No water sports, no pool games, no beach games, no disco. You’re on your own. - Entertainment: Evenings in the lobby bar was a singer or duet & 1980s era live or recorded music in the Cavo bar. - Luna pool: On the lagoon side, it was lovely but the air had a foul odor from the lagoon or a septic system. The aqua spin class is held here but it was too smelly for me to try it. - Ocean: Cancun has serious seaweed problems that come & go. Tractors clear the beach every morning, but some days the seaweed is non-stop. The surf can be rough, the ocean floor has sudden drop offs. If you don’t have years of ocean swimming experience, it can be very dangerous. - Resort Credit: You get “resort credits” for your stay. You are charged a 16% out of pocket redemption fee. Amenities e.g. spa treatments or beach cabana, are ridiculously over priced, but once you apply resort credit, your out of pocket fee is what you might pay for such a thing at home. Why not have reasonable fees to start out with? Obviously this marketing game works to their advantage. Summary: In my younger days, I craved activity day & night; I would have been bored to tears at this resort. If you crave an up-scale, quite, service oriented vacation; you’ll probably feel you got your moneys worth staying here. It is a very nice resort! Read less

Why are you reading this, BOOK IT NOW! Seriously, my wife and I travel to the Caribbean often and I can say that this resort is hands down the best experience we’ve ever had. The hotel is one big giant spa. From the drink of the day at the main pool to the 1 pm cucumber face massage, this place wants to make you whole. Although it is an adult all-inclusive, the resort doesn’t feel like a couples resort and all so singles on a girl or guys only trip will enjoy this place. The food is AMAZING, and not just for an all-inclusive. The staff really makes this place jump and they cater to your every whim. The butlers are amazing...use them. They can arrange your reservations, unpack your luggage, arrange champagne in your room. You name it. Be forwarded to those who like to party, this is a quiet resort (which my wife and I like). All in all, believe the hype and go. Read less

The staff is amazing. Ingrid greeted us by name at breakfast each day, which was highlighted by a terrific chef making anything you asked. Gustavo, Lucinda, and Ofrei at the pool made every sunny day pleasurable with cold drinks and daily facial massages with cool towels and cucumbers. The butlers, Enrique and Israel always had a smile and an inquiry as to anything they could do to enrich your room day or night. Every restaurant was fantastic, we enjoyed the Japanese restaurant the most and Alberto and his assistant catered to every need we had. Nightly turned down bed, whirlpool filled upon request and waiting for you complete with rose petals,and exceptionally clean rooms made every part of our stay something to bring us back for a third visit in the future.

Le Blanc was a great relaxing resort . It is clearly geared to couples, no kids, and limited partying but still fun. Nice beach area and lovely pools. The staff is excellent. The team at the Luminere (fancier) restaurant were even better than that. Both Osvaldo y Omar particularly. They have butlers for each floor. One of ours was Luis who helped prepare our hot tub one evening. Entertainment and music bands are good but the shows are short. DJ was the only area for improvement. Note : If you want more music or night life activities or pool activities it is probably not the place. We like that it had a very diverse mix of couples and promoted sustainability. Read less

Le Blanc is a class act from top to bottom. The hotel and rooms are immaculate. The staff will do anything they can to help you. Miguel picked us up at the airport and made us feel safe and well taken care of from the very beginning. He was happy and could take our joking with him like a pro despite having to wait for us for 90 minutes in an unusually long immigration line. Roger did a great job arranging our itinerary. Manuel and Rene were our butlers and they really enjoy making sure we had everything we needed. Fausto and Bryan were awesome at the Terazza cafe. Roberto the doorman bent over backward to help us. We had scuba equipment that needed to be washed and dried. He made sure everything was take care of with no worries. Juan Carlos drove us back to the airport and made sure we knew exactly were to go and who to avoid. He gave us a number we could call if anything went wrong. He also gave us several examples of the mistakes people make because they get in a hurry or are not paying attention. This is a classy operation. We will be back to see the wonderful resort and these wonderful people. THANKS! Read less
