"Everything is good, very clean. The only negative part is the Discotheque region; as far as, the interior layout. It feels awkward looking at everyone in front, feels like the setup of a rooster fight. But on average, it was nice. Do more of the outside beach concert. Thanks."

Hot water in the oom was a bit tricky and we were a little weirded out by the camera on our room, but overall a great stay.Breakfast could've been a bit better as it wasnt to the expectation set by the beauty of the hotel."

Playa Blanca Beach Resort - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Playa Blanca Beach Resort and had a relaxing couple of days by the ocean. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised by the food. The dinner buffet was really good, with plenty of choices, and we enjoyed the convenience of the all-inclusive experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but Juan especially stood out. He was wonderful and really helped make our experience better. Great service can make such a difference when you’re traveling, and he definitely deserves recognition. The resort itself is a bit of a mixed bag. Some areas are very nice, while parts of the Town Center Tower look a little run down and could definitely use some updating and maintenance. It didn’t ruin our stay, but it was noticeable and kept me from giving the resort 5 stars. The beach and ocean were exactly what I was hoping for—a great place to relax, put my feet in the sand, and just enjoy being in Panama. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay. There is room for improvement, but I would still recommend Playa Blanca Beach Resort for a relaxing getaway and would consider staying again."
