Had an amazing stay at Riu Playa Blanca, Rio Hato! Pros: - Option to relax in the quieter pools or on the beach - Entertainment at the pool with the swim-up bar, the nightly shows/performances, and the disco - 24/7 sports bar provides snacks, drinks, pool table games, and air conditioning - Several bars. We continuously felt accommodated. - Enjoyed the food at the buffets 3 à la cartes (no reservation required, but should arrive by 6:30pm to avoid long wait times) - Friendly and accommodating staff - Clean rooms - Organized driving service to take you to excursions or restaurants/entertainment off the resort. - Pleasant environment, overall. Not a “party” resort. Cons (would not rate badly for these, but small things to note): - If you are flying in to the Tocumen airport in Panama City, you will be travelling 2-3 hours to get to the resort. Our driver was friendly and made the trip entertaining for us, but the drive might be exhausting for tourists. - If you are looking to interact with other vacationers at the resort, most of them are only Spanish-speaking. We still made friends with several English and French speakers **Online weather predictions indicated rain and thunderstorms every day. However, we were fortunate to have beautiful, sunny weather for 6 out of the 7 days. Amenities remained open during the rain so it didn’t bother us, either way.

Overall the stay was good. The food at the big restaurant was actually good. The staff was nice. Just found the bathtub too tall to get in. My son slipped down and hit his head (he was ok, more of a scare). The same bathtub was rusty. Also, the entrance (lobby) was kind of hard to reach from parking. Just could have been nicer an easier entry. The swimming pools were nice and my 4 year old enjoyed himself.

This Riu's rooms are extremely ran down with marker drawing on tables, pealing paint on tables, broken couches. We had to change rooms twice because the first room has bugs all over both the beds and it was very dirty. We basically had to beg to get bottled water in our room daily and they only stock your other mini fridge and alcohol every 2 days, which they didn't even want to do that. We paid for an ocean view and the last room we were put in, which was the one we stayed in the longest, was only a partial ocean view. We where also two hours from the airport with good traffic, so it took 3 hours most of the time and because we booked through Expedia they wouldn't provide us transportation. The taxi's and excursions are super expensive, it was 120$ just for a ride from the airport to the hotel. We will not be staying at this hotel again unless gets updated and better service.

The property was clean, the people were extremely friendly and helpful. It was a little far from the airport at 2 plus hours. Besides that the resort was nice. The beach was really a beach. The black sands were beautiful. The entertainment was cool. The 4 pools were helful. The sound of the ocean at night is priceless. Late April the temp was great also. My 1st Riu hotel visit but it most definitely will not be my last. I had a great time. It was for my daughter's 30th bday. Thanks

The service and facilities were amazing. Housekeeping is amazing and very helpful. Check-in was easy and the staff was very helpful. The buffet is by far one of the best I've ever seen. If you are planning on having two people in a bed other than a king-size, think again. The "regular" beds are a little larger than a twin and smaller than a double. They are perfect for just one person. There are also slipping challenges. The tile in the hotel is beautiful, but slippery, wear good shoes.

Very good hotel and beautiful property. Excellent service. Only one part should be improved: more restaurants. At night is impossible to get in to any restaurants (Asian, Italian or Steakhouse), only buffet option. For the capacity over 500 rooms needs to be at least 6 restaurants plus buffet. Otherwise everything is perfect.
