Find hotels near Buenaventura Marina, Rio Hato from $15

"Had an amazing stay at Riu Playa Blanca, Rio Hato! Pros: - Option to relax in the quieter pools or on the beach - Entertainment at the pool with the swim-up bar, the nightly shows/performances, and the disco - 24/7 sports bar provides snacks, drinks, pool table games, and air conditioning - Several bars. We continuously felt accommodated. - Enjoyed the food at the buffets 3 à la cartes (no reservation required, but should arrive by 6:30pm to avoid long wait times) - Friendly and accommodating staff - Clean rooms - Organized driving service to take you to excursions or restaurants/entertainment off the resort. - Pleasant environment, overall. Not a “party” resort. Cons (would not rate badly for these, but small things to note): - If you are flying in to the Tocumen airport in Panama City, you will be travelling 2-3 hours to get to the resort. Our driver was friendly and made the trip entertaining for us, but the drive might be exhausting for tourists. - If you are looking to interact with other vacationers at the resort, most of them are only Spanish-speaking. We still made friends with several English and French speakers **Online weather predictions indicated rain and thunderstorms every day. However, we were fortunate to have beautiful, sunny weather for 6 out of the 7 days. Amenities remained open during the rain so it didn’t bother us, either way. "

"Food was amazing"

"Beautiful resort "

"Days before I arrived, the host emailed me and asked if I minded switching rooms because current occupants wanted to extend their stay. I said okay. When I arrived, nothing was ready and I tried to communicate to the onsite staff that I was supposed to be in the upstairs unit. After waiting an hour I was led to a room that was not clean. I spent the first night without towels or toilet paper. Finally the next afternoon, I got the keys to the proper room. I asked for a refund for the 1st night, the host replied that he would "take care of it" when he got back in town. I never heard back from him"

"Everything I wanted. The whole family had a blast. "

"Liked everything."

"Very quiet beach and general area! Absolutely no fight for chairs . Enjoyed the available food ,bar and music thurs Fri, sat and sun. The pool is beautiful large and clean . Amenities/gym not as indicated in VRBO . Gym is not available. It has been neglected and needs a significant amount of work to reopen. Despite some vacant and neglected condos, it is a place I would love to return ."

"We loved the little backyard. It was like our own little oasis in paradise. The owners are very friendly and the food was always good. Just a short walk to the beach. "

"Todo muy bien ordenado y cómodo. Buena comunicación con la anfitriona."
