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!!
