Lovely area and there is a lot of work going on next door with a new hotel and shopping area Just begun building this is going to be the number 1 place in the near future to be in Playa Blanca.
The very fashionable face of Playa Blanca. Selection of small craft and clothes shops but the bigger shopping mall has a wider selection. Add in the bars and restaurants as well as the moored boats of the great and the good and you have a great venue. Open air market as well on Wenesday and Saturday.
Great for the nautical types and also a fine selection of restaurants in this location. Most of the restaurants have an Italian theme to them which is fine as the cuisine is of a very high standard. Personally, I prefer Landi's where the Lamb Cutlets are delicious and thier fresh fish dishes are well worth a try. Market days at the Marina are Wednesday and Saturday.
Peaceful, good restaurants. Helpful marina staff
Sadly the Rubicon marina has badly evolved in the past few years and what was known as a 4 stars marina has become a bad experience for many sailors berthing at Rubicon and complaining about the bad management and the many issues they are facing, mostly when booking and paying in advance for a longer stay.
Indeed too many sailors agreed that they have been deeply deceived by feeling unwelcome, the amenities conditions and the overall poor management at Rubicon marina.
First of all marina Rubicon, unlikely any marina in EU is measuring every vessel upon arrival and thus berthing fees are now calculated according to the overall length of vessels including their dinghies and overall structures and not their initial Pavilion letter's specifications (up to 3 or 4 meters have been added in some case, affecting considerably the berthing fees).
Secondly, the water service at marina Rubicon costs 15 eur to fill up water tank and it is now forbidden to spray/wash the boat as well as to fill up any other tank, bottles etc. Note that usual water service costs between 8 to 12 eur max (Balearics).
The advertised wi-fi in the marina's brochure is in fact not working throughout the entire perimeter of the marina (only available at the one sailor bar) and marina's guests/clients are complaining that it is impossible to connect their devices through 4G as well due to the existing and defect wi-fi installed equipment throughout the marina and interfering in connectivity.
A lot of complaints have been issued and transmitted regarding the unhelpful and unwelcoming behavior of some staff members at Rubicon which are also deceiving the marina's clients and their guests during their stay, mostly when berthing fees have been paid upfront.
Since few weeks sailors staying at Rubicon marina are complaining that the showers amenities are providing cold water only, management's answer to the problem is that they are currently working on it, yet it still hasn't been resolved to this date.
Few sailors having booked at marina Rubicon for longer period are communicating their discomfort of feeling monitored in their activities and movements within the marina.
Finally we believe that it is important to inform any newcomers that there is a huge new commercial center construction site near the marina's entrance which greatly affects the quietness and spreads dust and sand all over the area.
Overall and for the time being we can only give a one star in our evaluation and review of marina Rubicon, we sincerely hope that we will be able to update our review with better rating in the near future.
Best nautical greetings and fair winds to all of our sailor's family and friends.
