Pools: Loved the quiet pool area. Also loved that all of the chairs were not "reserved" with towels. Nothing annoys me more than people reserving chairs and then not using them. Pool water was warm enough yet still refreshing. We also moved chairs to a shady spot on the grass under the palm trees without any issues from staff. Beach:... More

The cleanliness of the rooms is terrible and the air conditioning needed to be changed, dirty and old. The room smelled musty and the bathroom had mold. The lift also had a bad smell.The staff of the hotel are very friendly and the food is good. The hotel owner needs to pay more attention to the maintenance of the hotel.... More

In my room typing this right now,, finished dinner, I chose BBQ although there are multiple choices at different restaurants around the grounds, not bad at all for buffet style dining... took in some of the showtime dancers after a walk on the beautiful beach with a full moon and a thousand stars. Truly beautiful night, light breeze and truly... More

Me, my wife and our little princess of 2 year old spend the last week in the Playa Blanca Hotel & Resort. Being in the tourism industry since 6 years in Dominican Republic, it was for us a good experience. First, Panama is a nice country. The local people are nice and the country his not to much developpe regarding... More

Well beyond our expectations. We went not expecting to much and were thrilled with our experience.Food was great with lots of variety, staff was very polite although many don't speak English they do understand a lot of key phrases and are quite helpful. They are busy doing painting and landscaping (a good sign of trying to stay ahead) but are... More

I went May 2010, and I had a wonderful time. The staff was awesome, and the property was impressive. It was impossible to be bored. I have nothing but great things to say about this resort. The buffet food was average, but a la carts were amazing. There was great night life on and off the resort. I felt safe... More

My husband and I recently returned from our 5th trip to Panama (DEC31/11-JAN14/12). We booked our vacation through Sunwing Vacations and our original resort was the Royalton, however, very early into our vacation (2 days) we realized that the Royalton does not live up to it's name (or it's Sunwing * rating) so we requested to be moved to Playa...

Stayed here Jan 7-14/12 and had a great time. The first day we were disappointed that the pool closed early but we realized after that no one wants to swim after six anyway. Really enjoyed the buffett. We ate at the Chinese restaurant one night and then followed up at the buffett with a bit more food and dessert. Really... More

We just completed an 8 day Panama Tour with Caravan and the only disappointment was the 2 night stay at Playa Blanca. Although it has the amenities to be a first class resort, it is showing signs of age. The rooms although spacious, were not as clean as they should have been and the furniture showed signs of wear and... More
