@ it’s our first time going to Panama and we’re going to stay at Playa Blanca now you make me think twice 😂how far it’s the Mall from the resort if you don’t mind asking
Hey. You are an expert handling the camera; great descriptive shots. I went there in 2015, 2016 and 2017. I had the ocean front corner room 6012 (right side, West ), it was just perfect for the view, to watch sunrise & sunset, with à great corner balcony, and very quiet. The rooms facing the interior court are extremely noisy, like the reception and bar, and corridors. Rooms were basic but confortable and had very good service back then; and the food was wow. I read a lot that lately the hotel has deteriorated, as well as the service and food offering... too bad. The beach was nice, it is volcanic sand and why it is dark. Never had that horse or dog poop problem back than, that's horrible.
All the bad and good things you mentioned are very important to know. I would need to read thousands of reviews to collect all the information. Thank you so much, you helped me with my choice.
Thank you so much for your review. It's very informative. We want to go to Panama to this resort in particular, but after watching this video, I have my doubts. We went to Riu Palace Punta Cana, and It was an amazing experience.
Glad you liked it 😊 yea I mean if you want to go to Panama it’s a good option, but I wouldn’t recommend it compared to other places like Punta Cana, Cancun, etc
Are you comparing all the Riu from all over the world or just Punta Cana vs Panama??? The resort business is a new industry for us as we don't depend on tourism. We have a lot to learn but geeezzz you are complaining a lot 🫠🫠
Like keep comparing this one with Punta Cana.... lady, two different countries. One dependents a lot of tourism... the other one just started the all inclusive business as that is not our mean thing
@@keiram.2287thank you for clarification. Some people are very ignorant and don't understand the difference between and Country that are experts in hospitality and wishing more people come visit because that's their countries economy.
It looks deserted because Panamá is barely crawling in terms of TOURISM. But this woman won't understand that. She would critique the million dollar land with potential future construction.
Not to mention it's really cheap compared to others. I think its a good option for families on a budget. Still better than going to Florida or something boring at home.
I like the honest review.
Thanks 👍🏻
@@LeahElizabethme and family are planning to go on may 2025 do you really recommend or not I think the ones in Mexico are 💯 better
@@erickram73 I personally liked Mexico better but it's up to you :)

@@erickram73 We didn't go to the mall so I'm not sure. Have a great trip! :)

Welcome back and BTW, I’m going to the Philippines for my vacation trip coming May 9th to June 9th of this year!

Very helpful, thank you
Thanks for the in-depth look at the resort's washrooms and the 'unique' challenges! Next time, let's aim for more fun and less fuss. 😅
Thank you for this review!! I’m sad I didn’t see it earlier before I already booked flights and hotel😢
Nice leah❤
Thanks ❤️
Can you talk about the alcoholic drink selection (cocktail) & quality?
Did you tip the waiter/waitress at all? If so, how often & how much?
So the only thing you liked was the shadow and kinda the food?
What's the difference between Rui Panamá and Rui Punta Cana
Hi!
Is this hotel far from the airport?
Hi! It's actually pretty close
Really, it says like 58 miles?
Really nice reviews, I was wonder why it was so cheap, thank you, I'll skip this one😮
Glad you liked it 😊 yea I mean if you want to go to Panama it’s a good option, but I wouldn’t recommend it compared to other places like Punta Cana, Cancun, etc
