"The room was nice and the owner was really great. Our issue was that a DJ played in the area outside the apartment until midnight and none of us could sleep. We were only at the beach for one night and it was really awful being so exhausted the next day. We ended up leaving early. The owner apologized and assured us that nothing like that has happened there before and she really felt terrible about it. "

No aceptan Tarjeta de crédito, también deberían de aclararlo y que no será expedía quien cobre. "

Hotel Riu Playa Blanca - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Playa Blanca - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"The property was great, food options were plentiful, but the staff made it memorable! From Maricruz bringing such joy to every meal we were lucky enough to see her, to Alex and Yunier behind the bar making tasty drinks quickly, to Abdiel ensuring the pool was safe and enjoyable, to Eleuterio helping us find a lost personal item and being so nice! For anyone traveling without children, the pool with the swim up bar is adults only and consistently enforced - we only really saw kiddos at meals. Overall would recommend!"
