There is a Facebook group for the hotel too, Princeas Yaiza, Volcane, White suites, dreams are all close by if you need a plan b, or if Barcelona move you then you may end up inTeguise.

Thank you. It does appear to be progressing quickly but hard to believe that they are going to be ready for guests in less than 3 weeks. Soon find out!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUJHDDxVCMI&t=...

6k views of a Brummie walking through Playa Blanca talking to other Brummies....I need to make more content. PB has changed a lot!

He’ll be fine, if not he can sleep in my hire car. Well on Sunday he can, the first few nights it will be a sun lounger on the beach.
I had to "rebook" over the phone this week as the initial payment was rejected. I asked for assurances that the hotel would be ready and the lady said that the hotel have told them they will be . Also worked out fine as there was a Black Friday 15% off deal.As long as there is a room with a bed, a bar with a drink and a sunbed in the sun, we'll be fine. No doubt there will be some teething issues but we're really looking forward to it.

Another video of the Barcelo PB with overhead drone footage posted yesterday;

Not sure I'd be wanting to risk the pool at the moment!
It has to be a phased opening, surely?

I must admit I'm going off PB rather quickly the more I read this thread.
It used to be one of the best 'major' resorts in the Canaries, without the whole Irish Bar / Football Bar / English-on-tour corruption that tends to afflict a lot of Spanish resorts....but that does appear to be changing, as the Canaries are still, on the whole, cheaper than the Med resorts and in the current times people are going where they can afford.

I still think its ok, yes you have Bikers, Harp and Barnies, Anvil but most of it isn't Brits abroad and very few full english places.
True.I was thinking about the demographic the last time we were there, as much as the # of 'pubs'. Maybe we just got a little unlucky with timing.

I got back on Saturday after a week there. 26C+ every day, a little cooler in the evenings but very nice. We had a great week and fingers crossed you do too.
Thanks probably rain all week for me Gassing Station | Holidays & Travel | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
