    Amazing getaway!

    The staff is amazing, there are always there to help and make our day better! The food is great and drinks amazing too! The only thing is that the resort is far away from everything so just keep that in mind if you wanna visit some other places in Panama

    Playa Blanca getaway

    The hotel is nice but both rooms and grounds can be improved, the beach isn't accessible due to rock pebbles, the white color paint reminds of being in a hospital.

    Very good hotel!

    Food is great. Large variety of options. The pools are very well maintained. Beach is clean and lots of places to choose. The sand is kind of dark in some places and it is very hot. Service is very good. Beautiful lobby. Two hours away from the Tocumen airport. All rooms have balcony. Very nice cocktails and good coffee. Lots of activities for kids and adults. I will come back for sure.

    Playa Blanca getaway

    The resort is good for a few days away from the city, however the beach isn’t useful as there are plenty of rock pebbles and the water isn’t the greatest. RIU puts on a good nightly show, the staff are hard working and do a great job, the buffet meals are plentiful and good for a buffet type meal, we tried the steak house one night and it was ok as well, nothing to write home about.

    Fabulous Holiday

    We just returned from a 2 week stay at Riu Playa Blanca. We had a fabulous holiday. The hotel was clean, rooms were well-kept, the food was overall good. We especially enjoyed the Italian and Asian. The beach was beautiful and really deep with lots of chairs. The tide was high and the ocean wasn’t alwayd swimmable. We enjoyed the presence of the kids’ pool when you were looking for quiet. We had massages, tired leg ritual and couples relaxation and both were fabulous. We would especially like to acknowledge Ruben, Alison and Gabby from the Animation team. Always smiling and sociable. We were also very impressed with the Lobby bar staff, Yunier, Emilydis, Ivan, Milton, Rodolfo, Jose Sam and Enrique. Also thanks to Yasel in the buffet for her beautiful smile and happy disposition. Thank you for a fabulous vacation!
