    The author of the Playa Blanca thread on here, swears by the princesa Yaiza and she lived in PB for years. She booked all her visitors in there to stay, saying it was the best place in PB


    Is expensive, but Wow ! lol


    http://princesayaiza.com/ do honeymoon packages too, with upgrade on room.
  • I've stayed in the Dream Gran Castillo, which was incredibly good. A good 40 minutes walk from the centre of Playa Blanca though, or 4€ in a taxi.

    Princesa Yaiza is a fantastic hotel, but doesn't offer all inclusive.

    Star ratings are predominantly based on facilities and little else. As long as they have their spa and 24hr reception etc they certainly can be 5*

    AI basis is simply based on what is included in the price you pay.

    You certainly can get 5* AI.

    Now, by "true 5*" I am assuming you mean a luxury service etc and not just a hotel that happens to have the features required to get the 5th star. That still doesnt preclude it from having an AI option, though I agree it is much rarer. There are certainly some luxury hotels in the Maldives that I've seen doing AI basis via a few agents even though they only offer FB direct or via the majority of agents.

    Thanks for the replies, currently looking to book Hotel Gran Castillo. I have emailed them directly to see what their best price would be. Had a look at the Princesa Yaiza but a bit too expensive. This is a surprise pressie for my son and his wife to be.
