    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    The H10 Rubicon Palace tops the charts for its fleet of pools and restaurants. It’s a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence champ, too.

    This place comes with more swimming spots than you can shake your goggles at, and there’s a pretty beach 10 minutes’ drive away, too. It’s five minutes by taxi if you want to mosey into Playa Blanca’s town centre, or a daytrip to Arrecife takes just over half an hour.

    Activity should be this hotel’s middle name – it’s got a shedload of them. There’s yoga, dance classes and minigolf for starters. And, kids can throw themselves in to arty stuff, movie nights and gaming competitions.

    There's going to be improvements made to the hotel over the next year, so the Tour Operator Rating will rise to 5 from May 2018.

    This was our annual family holiday with 2 x teenagers. Hotel was stunning on first appearance and piano bar and reception have the wow factor. The rooms are lovely but very far from reception and daily our room key stopped and was a 10 minute walk every time to get it renewed. Would definitely not recommend for anyone who is not physically fit or disabled. The hotel is an hours walk from the main resort of playa Blanca and nothing nearby to do at all. Only 2 x shops on site which are not good. The pools are very large and completely empty because they are salt water and not heated. The poolside was rammed when we were there everyday and the majority of the day not one person was in the pool such as shame and slightly ruined the holiday. The photo shows the one and only time my kids would go in it. My two teenagers were very bored as WiFi is unusable in the resort and none of the amenities were available such as the tennis courts and basketball. You have a to book a time slot and there were none available for the whole two weeks which is an absolute joke. The worst part of the holiday was the dinner halls and the staff in them. They were so busy we could never get a table finished our food before drinks orders were taken, it was like a rat race to get in and out...not an enjoyable experience. Food plates were always empty tables not made up and dirty. Simply not enough staff and too small to accommodate all the guests when the hotel is full. All in all would not recommend to families with older children and definitely not the relaxing break I was looking forward to. Would definitely not visit here again!
    Easter break with family - windy!

    I was very concerned with the mixture of reviews on here but we did book the hotel and went open minded. I do agree with many other peoples reviews.......I will say firstly arriving in the rain doesnt help our initial thoughts of the island. Reception very smart and the reception staff lovely and very helpful! Rooms very tidy but must admit small for two adults and two children. Pools - oh my gosh had to wear my wet suit - just tooooo cold and put a real dampner on our holiday. The buffet food - perfect for us and those poor staff worked so hard but do need help. Some of them do appear miserable and others so very friendly. The lady that sits at a desk to take bookings for the 3 restaurants did not look at me once when talking and disgustingly rude we couldnt get in any of them during our whole week stay. There were renovations and do think they need to concentrate around the pool where tiles are missing and invest in heating! Mikes cafe bar - perfect and the best coffee. Position of the hotel perfect and quiet for us - we like the walk to the town. where they is a beautiful little beach. Pool bar perfect and happy staff. Top bar near restaurant great and staff friendly. Wouldn't class as 4 star but has potential. Kids pool great but crowded. Such a shame as I wore a coat at night but not their fault - i came back poorly! Cleaning staff need a pat on the back - they work hard! Blankets needed next time. Do take jumpers if going this time of the year as the wind is wild and slightly annoying. Actually take a coat I am nesh...... Spa - unhappy staff - dirty pooly and expensive to go.
    Excellent service!!

    This is a lovely (big) hotel, with lots Of pools . However when we were there lots of the pools were too cold to use - however there is a slightly heated one which most seemed to favour (we aren’t put off pools easily they were cold). The kids pirate ship pool and baby pool is warm though. Pools are salt water. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful staff I have ever experienced! Every single person I passed smiled and said hello - they are honestly amazing. I sometimes feel like I’m putting staff out at all inclusive but they were so nice it was lovely. Quick to serve and with a smile.Also our check in experience was good, with the lady offering to continue paperwork while we took our children to the room as it was late. Food is very good, and Coffee bar is a lovely touch!! Resident tortoises and fish pool were a hit with my 6 year old. It’s around a twenty minute walk along a lovely promenade to playa flamingo beach. Taxi rank and bus outside which we used no bother . So it didn’t bother us being a little bit out of playa Blanca. Our only disappointment was the room which was not as luxurious as I expected for a 5* hotel. Were offered another room but couldn’t face moving. 👍
    Good hotel and staff hardworking but restaurants too busy
    17 Apr , 2018 AndySmith1967, 190737
    Went for a family holiday over Easter. The hotel is quite away from Playa Blanca town itself, about 40 minutes walk or nearer an hour to the marina at Playa Blanca. That said there is a good path to walk along by the shore line and the views are very good. We chose to do this several times rather than taxi or bus which can be caught outside the door of the hotel. The all inclusive food and drink we found very good. Nice selection which changed every night in the main restaurant. But, the main restaurant was very busy at the most popular times in the evening and mornings. There was not enough waiting staff to keep on top of the number of tables and guests. It was difficult to find a table empty then once found it was usually not cleared from the previous guests. At this point you needed to find 4 different waiters to get the table ready to re-use, as each did only a single Job. The first would clear away the used dishes then a second to lay cutlery, a third to put cups / glasses down then finally a 4th to get a drink! Each had to be found and point out what needed to be done. The staff all worked hard and were constantly busy, but they had too much to keep on top of. More of a management/ organisational problem. The pool bar was good and the staff served very quickly and was not too crowded. Food was freshly made all day and good quality and selection. We used this most days for our lunch. There are 3 specialist restaurants which are included in the all inclusive food package. They are the Asian, Italian and American steakhouse. The Italian we found was the best and we really liked the food here, the pizzas were nice! The Asian we liked but didn’t think that the food was as good or the wide selection as the Italian but worth a visit if at the hotel. The steakhouse we did not have a good meal here there were several ordering errors and some of the main meals were not good quality and not rectified at all even after complaining. The piano bar is very impressive and each night there was good quality live entertainment that we all liked. This wasn’t too loud that prevented us holding a conversation. The bar staff and waiting staff in the bar were very good and we found them all friendly and helpful. Many branded spirits were included in the all inclusive package and all quality mixers used. Very good cocktails and coffees here too. The rooms were decorated to a good standard and very clean bed comfortable rooms cleaned well and quickly. We found that the reception staff were not particularly friendly or helpful in addressing several issues we had. Which was very disappointing. All our issues were addressed but took several attempts and no apology and no one seemed to care about this. A real shame as the rest of the staff and facilities of the hotel we found very good.

    Stayed in the Rubicon Palace in April. Very well run hotel. Room with a sea view. Two adults and two children (4 and 7) - they loved it. Food - Stayed half board and the food was wonderful. Buffet style restaurant had a massive and constantly replenished supply of fresh food including beef, fresh fish and menu changed every day. Daily specials included beef, lamb, giant prawns, etc. Desserts were great with plenty of fresh fruit, cakes and selection of ice creams. Only paid for drinks which weren't too expensive. Breakfast was also a brilliant selection of fresh fruit, pancakes, omelettes, pastries, etc. Staff friendly and very attentive Only slight let down was the night we dined at the Italian themed restaurant. Wouldn't bother with this as the food is in no way an improvement on the buffet restaurant. Waiter suggested 'macaroni cheese' for our four year old and what came was a bowl of plain pasta with grated cheese on top - very lazy. She ate my chicken kebab quite happily. Tiramisu was nice. Kids enjoyed a couple of visits to the 'mini disco' and 'Daisy Club' where they did science experiments, played boule, etc Staff full of energy and fun. With young kids in the same room it was excellent that we were well away from the night-time activities so they could sleep in peace. Swimming pool well maintained and great for young kids. For lunchtime meals we headed along the coastal path to local restaurants which did good reasonably priced food. There are also some small beaches along the coastal path which have surprisingly good snorkelling / rock pools to explore.
