"This was an extremely frustrating and unacceptable experience. We called the phone number listed on Expedia countless times, and every single time the number was disconnected. There was absolutely no way to reach the owner of the apartment. Expedia also tried to contact the owner using the same information and was unsuccessful. Neither they nor we were able to get any response at all. Because we had no way of knowing where we were supposed to go or how to access the property, we made the...

"Very safe feeling neighborhood. No problem walking around at night. The hotel complex is also safe and comfortable. The staff were extremely nice and helpful, especially the manager Jesus. Pool was clean and refreshing. There are lot flowers and plants which blow a lot leaves and petal in the pool in the windy afternoons. It makes for a lot of laughs trying to keep them out. The beach is about 6 to7 blocks but very walkable. There is a pizza place a block and a half and a restaurant named...

Gran Evenia Bijao & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this resort. The food was good, the beach was beautiful, and the rooms were clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. There wasn't a lot of evening entertainment, and most activities were geared toward Spanish-speaking guests. However, the resort has a quiet, relaxed atmosphere that is perfect for families with children. The only drawback was the location, as it is about a two-hour drive from Panama City and the airport. Aside from that, everything was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

Hotel Riu Playa Blanca - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"I thought this was a very nice all-inlcusive. It appeared to be the only one in the area with direct beach frontage. There were four pools, one for kids and one with a swim up bar. There were a large amount of lawn chairs on the huge beach which was not crowded at all - though my friend told me, in the winter months, the property will become very crowded with foreigners. The food selection was very nice - Asian, Italian, steakhouse, Mexican and buffet. The shows at night were fun, including live bands, dancers, and karaoke. The stuff were very pleasant and very helpful. I would stay here again. There was a very small location for beach vendors who remained at their stall. Men renting horses, but they were not pushy. Don't bother taking the boat ride to the island. It's expensive and you can swim a little, but that's about it. I would highly recommend the Riu Playa Blanca!"

Playa Blanca Beach Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Family friendly. There is something for everyone here, from the many pools and water slides to the water activities, beach and if you're a foody there's 3 meals provided with snacks in between. My only wish is for more staff members to be bi-lingual (English and Spanish)."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Río Mar?

The best time to go to Río Mar, Panama, is during the dry season, which runs from mid-December to mid-April. This period offers the most consistent sunny weather and calm waters, superb for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities.

Travelers looking for a relaxing beach vacation will find these months ideal. The clear skies and gentle breezes create pleasant conditions for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying watersports without the interruption of daily rain showers. It's an excellent time for couples seeking a warm, tranquil escape.

For those interested in surfing, the dry season still offers good waves, particularly at the beginning and end of the season. The consistent weather allows for uninterrupted time on the water, making it a great choice for solo travelers or small groups focused on surfing.

While the dry season is popular, the shoulder months of November and May can also be a good option.
