RIU PLAYA BLANCA PANAMA

This property is 2 hours from the major airport PTY and is unlike any other RIU Hotels property.  Good points: Kid Friendly, Clean, Nice Staff, Buffet line was always the good choice, non-alcoholic drinks, very affordable for college aged students or large family vacations.
Bad points:  Very low end as far as All Inclusive Resorts go, too far from downtown, no adult activities, pool closes at 6 pm, bottom shelf alcohol, Buffet line was best choice, food availability is NOT 24/7, had to ask for face towels, limited gym equipment, SPA is a little gazebo by the pool, can NOT enjoy the beach after sunset, No DJ at Adults pool, entertainment was more geared for children, and there was NO Activities Manager engagement to get people to attend or highlight the entertainment for either demographic.
Final Rating:  This property is listed as a 5 star, but it barely make it to a 2 star on my list based on my other experiences.
