Las Guias Occidente Vacation Rentals

"Acogedor lugar "

"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. "

"The views from the restaurant and balcony are beautiful, and the garden areas are lovely. I enjoyed having a place outside to relax out of the rain. "

"It was lovely and exactly as advertised. Our host was very accommodating, the views were spectacular and we appreciated the fridge, coffee maker and little kitchenette. The restaurant was good as well. We appreciated being so near to town but just remote enough. However, two nights on that mattress/pillow combo was all we could take at our age. "

"Food was amazing"

"Owner was very accommodating and nice. We arrived a bit later so the kitchen was closed but the host was still willing to make us sandwiches. Beautiful pool with outstanding views. And modern controllable in room AC. Highly recommend! "
