Hotel Riu Playa Blanca - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The staff were absolutely amazing and friendly. They were always willing to help and after the first day remembered little details about what we liked to prepare it for us before we could even ask. There was some structural damages, very minimal but I'll assume thats from the recent earthquake a couple of weeks ago otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"
