Jan 17, 2025Just as Advertised
Everything was just as advertised. Bar and food service was great. The only critique would be the quality of the rooms. They were definitely outdated and could use some minor updates such as repainting and finishes. Besides that, everything seemed clean and the responsiveness of the staff for room requests through the app worked well! The price matches the experience. Overall, would stay here again.

Nice place to stay, relax and enjoy life
First time in Panama and the Riu experience was up to our expectations. Food is good, pool and beach are perfect and the place is clean, well maintened and the staff is helpfull and dedicated. The land is green, there is a lot of birds and there were not much wind.

Jan 13, 2025Disappointing
Room was nice but so musty smelling, pillows were like cottage cheese and not enough blankets, house keeping didn't come twice, and upon check out there was an unfortunate incident. We brought our bags down on time for check out. There was a line to check out so we took the kids for lunch and came back to hand in the key cards. We were then informed we owed $120 usd for a late check out. We indicated that this was an honest mistake and asked for some leniency. After speaking with a few different customer service reps they said they could only reduce it by half. That was best and final. Sunwing Rep asked them to check cameras to prove that we were there on time. They refused. They indicated that if I refused to pay they would call the police. There were 19 of us on this trip, the 60$ was more important to them then providing good customer service and having 19 of us leaving happy. The cost for all of us to go was around 30k. This 60$ "late" fee was made into a way bigger deal than necessary. Afterwards I posted a google review and in their response they lied and said that what I wrote was inaccurate and that security intervened for unwanted behaviour. NOT TRUE!! I do not recommend this resort.

Riu Playa Blanca Panama Winter vacation
This was a very nice vacation. The hotel was a bit old but still very nice and well organized. New Year's Eve was also very festive with great food and fireworks. We had a great time

Jan 12, 2025Christmas you out did yourself Riu Playa Blanca ! Absolutely amazing
Resort was wonderful! Everyone was friendly. The workers work really hard every day. Lots of activities through out the day . So you’re never bored . Our room was #14 and the view was absolutely stunning of the family pool and ocean . Our only complaint would be , when they take your bracelet on departure day. They don’t let you use the pool or restaurants besides lobby one . We are well travelled and stayed at Riu Jamaica, Punta Cana ect and this is the first time ever . Kind of puts a bad taste in your mouth on the last day . Plus having security and lifeguards escort you out is a little extreme
