Le Blanc Spa Resort

It was not my intention to have a severe/acute herniated disc on vacation, but by the time we arrived Christmas afternoon sadly I needed a wheelchair. Eternal gratitude to Le Blanc for having one available to use all week — lifesaver. (I’m writing this from my hospital bed where I had emergency spine surgery Thursday, hopefully healing). Until you need to be in a wheelchair you don’t view things from an accessibility angle. What an eye opener that experience was. Sadly, because the resort was built in the mid 1970s (not by Palace Resorts) it is far from accessible. The beach and hot tub level are inaccessible. All pool decks are accessible on the way in (ramp down). Ramp up in a chair — not so much. Thanks to the multiple staff and guests who helped me get the chair back up the pool ramps. Common area restrooms etc — hit or miss. I’ll leave it at that. But challenging and frustrating. Guest room (Junior suite with balcony I LOVED) kinda sorta accessible, apologies for a few wheelchair scuffs on the walls. Restaurants were all accessible, save there is NO accessible restroom on the Sol pool deck level which is super challenging, especially when dining at Lumiere (it’s a LONG haul to the lobby WC). I had the pleasure of meeting Edgar the resort manager one morning at the Sol pool. He completely understands the accessibility challenges throughout the resort and while not to give away too much, there may be a major Le Blanc renovation in the near future. Bring. It. On. I also told Edgar in some detail(!) how the food was so much better than our first visit (January 2025). He promised me he’d introduce me to Marco the executive chef. And I’ll be damned if Marco didn’t track me down in the lagoon pool the next day whilst I was floating on my noodle and we had a great chat about how important freshness is. He totally gets it. Like a thin slice of cucumber in a glass of water and how I could smell the cuke fragrance. That’s unusual. He takes the customer food experience quite seriously and is a nice guy too, so thanks for the intro. Le Blanc uses the finest ingredients for sure. And a huge shoutout to ALL the behind-the-scenes staff you never see — they make the place the way it is! Restaurants are all truly top notch. Bella was our fave but Yama and Lumiere equally as fine (dreaming of my Yama bento 🍱 box, so amazing, do you deliver?!?). Even the maki rolls at lunch buffet were crazy fresh and tasty. Shoutouts to staff who made the difference from a great week to a fantastic one: Bryan, Miguel — Bella Luis — hydrotherapy Spa Rafael — Yama Juan and Ezekiel —Lumiere Eder, Saul — butlers Painting class — Antonio, teacher and Vanessa, entertainment manager Allesandra, Jessica — kakau coffee shop (Allesandra went above and beyond) Omar, Jesus — Lagoon pool Entertainment: didn’t experience any but there’s plenty going on, don’t you worry. The cellist one night at Bella was a real nice touch and I appreciated they do small things like that (read the daily schedule!). Even with the accessibility issues, it was a five star week I’ll never forget.

Wonderful experience my birthday was amazing I loved everything the butlers were beyond incredible and made pur stay exceptional

This is my second time to le blanc. It is a first class experience. Delicious food, incredible staff, and wonderful options for a pool or beach day. There is plenty to eat and drink (alcoholic and non). This is not a party resort, so be ready to get pampered and relax.

Eduardo, Raul and Antonio made our stay incredibly special. Resort is beautiful, staff were accommodating and bartenders were on point.

Excellent Eduardo and Raul were amazing very helpful and on top of everything Rooms nice Bar tenders and staff professional willing to help and had drinks ready
