We have a saying in the UK, 'past it's sell by date', this hotel is in need of a revamp, everything looks well used. We only stayed here 2 nights and were ready to leave, although we did not have any of the terrible things happen to us that the most recent reviews explain. You appear to have little option... More

Let me start with the good..because it could have been all good...even though it was a 2 hour drive from airport to hotel and we knew this, it was like taking a tour, the rep was a fantastic guide. If you go at night..not so great.They are building a new airport closer by 2014 apparently. The hotel was clean, the... More

My girlfriend and I just returned and we had a good time. We felt safe walking back to our room by ourselves and all hours of day/night. Food was good everyday. Beach nothing to brag about. Shows need definite improvement. Pools were nice. Front desk staff not friendly AT ALL....unless you're a local. Majority of staff polite but not as... More

I also just returned from this trip where two were drugged and 1 was (assaulted) by 2 security officers . This happened on a Monday night in her own room and we arrived late Saturday night therefore it put a scare into all of us for the remaining of our vacation. It was so bad that people would not even... More

I was soooo looking forward to this trip and it turned into nothing but a complete nightmare, without going into too many details I was assaulted by 2 security guards that worked on the resort, police had to be called, hotel basically bribed me by saying they would pay for me to fly home early if I signed a release...

Just returned from a week at this resort and I have to say I would not go back. I was well aware of the long bus ride so that was not an issue.The rooms were very nice, and had no problems with the A/C. The beach is not suitable for swimming and there is a pack of dogs on the... More

We just returned today from our stay in Panama. We booked a flight only so that we could stay in various places. We booked 3 nights to start the trip at Playa Blanca Resorts.....having arrived very late after getting lost on the drive from the airport, we arrived with just 10 minutes to spare before the buffet dinner ended.

Well Sunwing was wonderful as usual .... The flight wasn't full so we each had 3 seats to ourselves .... the return flight was much the same .... they said that the incoming flight on the 7th had less than 100 passengers! It is nice because it's a 5 hour flight and being crammed in to those tiny seats would... More

This has been one of a kind trip. I've kept my logs i wrote every night with everything about this hotel. Warning in advance: this is going to be one detailed and long review. I have visited this place from March 24 to March 31, so by looking at it my reviews will be the most up to date. This... More

I went with my wife to the Playa Blanca Resort a few months ago. We got there in the afternoon. We tried to have dinner and left. To get to the open dining room we passed thru the closed Suchi restaurant: the stench was awful. The food at the open restaurant was less than mediocre. The room was barren and... More
