Excellent customer service. Variety of food and delicious . The staff were always ready to help. Very friendly. Night time shows were amazing, very professional. They have activities in the pool and beach to keep people active. Thank you Playa Blanca Resort.

Family friendly. There is something for everyone here, from the many pools and water slides to the water activities, beach and if you're a foody there's 3 meals provided with snacks in between. My only wish is for more staff members to be bi-lingual (English and Spanish).

The grounds of the property were well maintained. The living quarters, specifically the TownCenter was extremely outdated and furniture was falling apart. Over all the food, activities, pools and beach were worth it. You must try the salt water pool. It's the largest one in the country from what I was told by a native Panamanian.

Room was in good condition. Service staff very helpful. The hotel rooms were in proximity to the pools and had good beach access.

Food was great, we had a great time. Property is really big, plan for a lot of walking. The whole thing with access to salt water pool is very confusing ask a lot of questions before booking. The rooms need to be updated. Doors don’t work, things like that. Other than that is a good resort if you don’t care about older structures.

My experience wasn't pleasant when I checked in. One member of the hotel who approached me was very aggressive trying to show us the hotel, for some kind of membership, and because, we refused to do it, didn't let us do early check in and wait at the lobby for an hour and a half or I had to pay $12:00 for early check in, but, we checked out at 8:00a.m instead of 12:00p.m and didn't give me any refund for those 4 hours I didn't use. The room was very clean, the bed vey comfortable, I was disappointed about the adult shows at night, really I didn't saw any in 5 nights I was there, only had some kind of trivia. I came back with a lot mosquito bites. The buffet has not variety, every day serve almost same food. The rest of the staff, beside the member at the check in, very nice and Ms. Niurka, from customer service has exceptional customer service skills; she minimizes the bad experience we had at check in. She knows how to resolve difficulties smoothly. Also mr. Jose from the buffet area, was very nice and courteous. He was very diligent to help us when we need it.

They have multiple options for units to stay in. We stayed at the Town Center towers, and we had a lovely view of the logan. A good selction of non resort eateries if you get tired of the resort food. Overall, relaxing, enjoyable and child friendly.

I don’t want to bash the place because the staff were AMAZING however this resort is for people on a budget and or locals from the area. Only reason I came here was because it was the half way point in meeting my long distance family. The Rui next door was a lot nicer and vibe was good.

Great location, close to some bigger city, food is delicious with plenty of variety if you are not a picky eater, only issue is the wifi in rooms is spotty. AND BEWARE if you are renting a car, go with someone other than Budget who sold me extra insurance cause they were not seeing our expedia booking and then charged me extra for a tire when returned...

Food was great, the rooms were pretty clean, aircon working well. I would suggest a better service at check-in, it took us a long time to get our rooms and once we had the cards/keys they did not work and had to go back to reception 2 times.

The properties are not well maintained. The room we stayed in one bed was missing a doublet only had a sheet. The other the bed had the doublet and a sheet on top so missing a bottom sheet. Only 2 towels were provided for 4 guest. The door to the room was not closing properly and had issues opening the door. It is a good hotel if your only going to use the water slide ameneties. The food was good. The staff was very nice.
Verified review

Just ok

It was just ok. I would say overall it was more of a 2.5 star hotel. Everything was a bit outdated, staff was just ok, check in was not great at all due to reservation mix up. I would only consider staying here if it was a few hundred cheaper off the overall price. Food was just ok too. Has a big potential due to location.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel ever! The place was very dirty and full of cockroaches. It is nothing like what it looks like online. The place is old and run down. This place is a scam. We could not stay at this property due to cockroaches and dirty room. We had a wonderful stay at a nice clean hotel in the city. It was a hard time to get back my money which I didn’t get back the right amount. Please avoid this hotel!

Not so good. The property requires important maintenance improvements, and the attitud of the front desk and staff is not good. Only the people in restaurants have the kindness and good mood that we spected
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Loved the pools and beach; just closed a bit early for what I would have liked: 5pm for salt water pool which isn’t salt water at all and is only a small area that is slotted for the hotel which is annoying for what they are advertising as the biggest pool, 6pm for pool with slides, and then 8pm for the main pool. When you pick your rooms and choose access to saltwater pool you are in for a long walk everyday since that building is the farthest from all other amenities and dining. Also all the water activities you have to rent equipment and it’s very pricey. I didn’t choose to do any of those. Overall I would definitely return being better informed how it all operates. Staff was super amazing and food was great! I definitely would recommend since it’s a great time! We stayed for 4days and did love it! Food was amazing with a great variety! Great for families and adults only trips. They cater to both with their different activities throughout the day!

This is a large resort about 120 Km from Panama City on Pacific coast . The nature is beautiful in the resort which has not been renovated for at least ten years . The resort has several sections including privately owned condos and villas. The food quality is 3 star at best with reasonable choices . The most attractive feature of this resort is a gigantic man made lagoon with concrete floor . However, I was lucky to be under radar and was able to use the best and cleanest part of this Lagoon during my 3 days stay . I learned at the end that part is reserved for the units owners only ! The price is reasonable and staff are friendly and only a few speak some English. It is a beautiful and comfortable place with a variety of sport facilities.

Experience

We arrived at 2:15 pm, we know check in is 3:00pm, we tried to know if we can check in in advance, but staff said check in at 3:00, that’s totally fine, but no one told us we have to draw a number to check in. All check in process is terrible. When we get into the room, there is no towels, staff said no enough towels, and we only get two at last, but we have 4 people. The bed is horrible, because it's quilt cover not quilt, we sleep very uncomfortable. We even take towels to cover our body. We eat Panama Canal restaurant, the plate wasn’t clean at all. The food, the entertainment are good.
