No pool service let down

The hotel was nice and all but not what i was expecting for all inclusive resort. No pool service, no waiters pool side for drink or food orders. The pool closing time of 6:30pm was the earliest I've ever come across. Just not a place i would stay in the future.

Playa Blanca Vacation

The property was nice and clean. The rooms need some upgrades. The sheets were old. There were barely any Pillows. Pillows were flat. They only provided 3 pillows for 2 people. Bathrooms were old. Towels were old. The staff were nice, polite, respectful. Always willing to help. Entertainment needs some help. They lack Entertainment for the night.

La verdad que desepciono mucho el estado del hotel Al ser all inclusive la verdad que no hay opciones de snack en el cuarto o que el único lugar abierto 24 hs solo ofrezca alcohol o nachos es inaceptable . Cero recomendable para ir en familia

I’m a healthcare worker and was shocked by the unsafe conditions. All 3 rooms we booked had mold-infested mattresses. My child got sick, and one of our guests is a lung cancer survivor — this was extremely dangerous. Staff showed no concern, gave me the wrong email for complaints, and I was never able to speak to a manager. I had to move rooms at midnight and still no help. If you have asthma, cancer, or a weak immune system, avoid this hotel.

I stayed at this hotel for my best friend’s birthday weekend. While I was initially discouraged to learn that the hotel didn’t offer airport transportation unless the booking was made directly through their site, the overall experience was still great. Check-in was quick and easy, and both the food and entertainment were a solid 10/10. We checked out on Sunday afternoon and informed the hotel that our flight was later in the evening. Unfortunately, we were told we couldn’t sit by the pool or at the bar while we waited, which was disappointing. We ended up sitting in the lobby for an additional 3 hours until our transportation arrived. Despite that inconvenience, I still highly recommend this hotel for its atmosphere, service, and amenities.

The food was wack! The staff doesn't speak English. The hotel is 3 hours from the city/airport. The staff is rude!

We really enjoyed our stay at RIU Playa Blanca. The staff was friendly and hard-working. They were responsive and helpful. The drinks were strong and wonderful. The food was great. The place was packed and fun.

The hotel could use some upgrading and there is a huge construction site going on right next door. The food is okay but not amazing. The beach and sea access are not the greatest. I could see how it could work for some but we wouldn't go back.

Ocean view room in front of complex, was simple, good size, clean, AC worked ok. All inclusive is ok, basic food but tasty. No reservations for specialty restaurants. Line up until the place is full, then they give you a pager and call you when there is space. You are on call for a couple of hours... Entertainment is ok. Pools are clean, good size, never crowded. Beach is nice. Construction going on next door. Had a good time for the price.
