Disliked: Room comfort
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.

RIU was a good experience. However, comparing to other RIUs, this one does not have pool service and most of the time one has to walk up to the bar to get drinks. There are no snacks (i.e. popcorn, peanuts, chips served at bars as in other RIUs). Overall it was a good experience.

Loud AC and fan in the rooms

The AC in both rooms was too loud and the fan did not have to option to select the speed. In general, the service is decent however the hotel should consider managing a reservation system for the dinners instead of having huge lines just waiting to see if you can make it.

I love the staff so hardworking so dedicated so respectful so determined, the staff is the one who keeps this place excellent , but the owner of Riu Blanca playa needs to visit themselves

Omg the food was horrible, the taxis was expensive and none of the employees can speak a little bit of English 😩😩. I found a huge 🐜 in my sauce for my steak.

Despite of making request at the booking time few days in advance that need early check in but didn’t get honoured, they said room only available at 3 pm, when check out is up to 12 noon then they can’t clean and make ready if someone requested few days before

The property was fair. I probably would visit again for the price; however, I would say the rooms could use an upgrade. The furniture and look of the room is dated. There were a lot of children on the property. The beach is at your fingertips but beware of the random dogs that stay on the property (friendly dogs but not my favorite). I would highly recommend private transportation as the hotel is 2.5 hours from PTY. I will say that I felt safe at the resort and that’s always important!
