[@sabiahsmall8672]

What was the cost of the horse back ride and visit to the Panama Canal?

[@shannelmorris]

The price ranges because we did it through the locals. When we went it was $40usd but right now I’m not sure

[@omergradit273]

I love this review it really helped me decide, Can’t wait to go here!!

[@shannelmorris]

I’m so glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching 🤗🥰

[@katrinadevene3556]

First of all.... you are absolutely STUNNING!!! Skin on GLOW girl! This was a nice vlog, you did a great job! My trip to Panama got cancelled this year due to covid, I am definitely looking forward even more after watching this. Looking forward to more vids from you!

[@shannelmorris]

Thank You! You’re so sweet 🤗 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully you’ll be able to go soon, it’s definitely a place to see. Let me know how your trip goes! 💞

[@clintbrewster9282]

Very nice,do the hotel iffer city tour and ride the horse in the beach as u did?

[@shannelmorris]

There were Sunwing agents that worked with the resort and offered the tour packages. For the horse ride on beach, they were locals and I would be careful because they tried to over charge us and they’re very persistent. Hope this helps ☺️

[@SalesCrafter.]

I appreciate this video, good job. Question, do they have evening shows?

[@shannelmorris]

I’m glad you enjoyed this vlog. On the resort, they have shows every night. Starting about 6:30/7pm. In the early afternoon, after 1pm/2pm they have music and someone on the microphone by the pool playing games.

Ms world

[@katierichardson9183]

Great video 👍

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you!! ❤️💫

[@mimilexi7842]

Did you book the tour to Panama City through sunwing on site? You are stunning!

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you babe! 💖 I actually ended up booking the city tour with a Sunwing agent when I got to the resort. You can book it online just in case it sells out fast but we did receive a better deal in person. My best advice if you are booking in person is to look at the website to know which tours you want to do and book them as soon as you get to the resort. Hope this helps.

[@malikmorrison7926]

Great video! Did you book the panama canal tour at the resort or through some other vendor?

[@shannelmorris]

Thanks you! ❤️❤️ No I booked it at the resort through Sunwing. It was just more convenient at the time

[@izzysilva411]

How long did you take from the resort to Panama canal? Great captures! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@shannelmorris]

Oh it was about a 2 hour drive! This resort is closer to the airport than the city. But it was worth it! Thank you! 💞

[@syky1837]

Which airport is that .... because my understanding is this resort is 2 hrs away.

[@emmacarter1233]

Lovely video

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you! ❤️❤️

[@megankowal4327]

you supermodel!

[@vc429]

Hi - I know it's been 2 years but do uou remember the name of the tour you took for panama city and the canal?

[@shannelmorris]

Heyy! We did the tour through Sunwing and we booked it at the resort. So they arranged the pickup, drop off and everything! Hope this helps 💕

[@syky1837]

Do you remember the price range for this tour and were you able to spend the entire day.

[@kerryanngutrie148]

Great video

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you babe! ❤️💫

[@atiyaa770]

Hi, nice video!! I'm looking into vacationing here,and am just wondering how clear the ocean is?I'm used to crystal clear water,so I want to make that it's not dark and rough.

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you so much! When we went the water was clear. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say a 6. I’ve been to some crystal clear waters so I’m a little critical 🫣😂 hope this helped

[@sherriannjohnson801]

First off you look like a real Barbie,so beautiful.Where did you book your tours and im okay using US dollars?

[@shannelmorris]

Awee thank you babe! 💞💞 I booked the tours through sunwing because I flew with them. You can book tours on the resort as well as before your trip. I personally like booking tours through sunwing when I get to the hotel, I think it’s a better deal. But I look what tours they offer on their website beforehand.

[@dannyd11233]

Do they provide transportation to the resort from the airport

[@shannelmorris]

We flew with Sunwing and they did. I’m not sure if all airlines do it

[@kishiareams3735]

Thank you for the information

[@shannelmorris]

Anytime! Thank you for watching 🤗

[@ashleamiller2459]

Is it a far walk from the rooms to the pool and beach

[@shannelmorris]

No, the beach was attached to the resort about a 2 minute walk from our room (or less)

[@camillesegree5689]

Panama 🇵🇦 is so beautiful

[@shannelmorris]

It’s gorgeous!

[@locstravel5065]

I’m going in October and doing my research this video gave me a little hope. Question and I’m sure things may have changed but quite a few if tours don’t seem to pick up from the resort since it’s far away. How did you book your excursion?

[@shannelmorris]

Because we booked our entire trip through Sunwing, I was able to book all my excursions with them. When we arrived there were Sunwing reps at the hotel who you can go to and book. Hope this helps and you have a great trip! 💞

[@hannahperetz7892]

Nice video 🔥

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you! More travel content coming soon ❤️💫

[@queenmomo361]

Did you book the excursion prior to going?

[@shannelmorris]

No I booked the excursion there with Sunwing 😊❤️

[@vassanapanamabay4498]

So nice

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you love! ❤️❤️

[@theodoretoth2884]

Hey me and my wife are thinking about checking out this Riu, we love Riu we have been to 8 of them haha our favorite one being in Aruba! Question , how far was the ride from the hotel plays Blanca go Panama City? Thanks so much for the video !

[@shannelmorris]

That’s amazing!! Thank you for watching. Panama City was about a 2 hour drive from the hotel. They’re excursions That can provide you with a day in the city which is what we did! Hope you both have a great vacation 🙌🏾

[@rob.6070]

Hey, do you mind telling me what room category this is please?

[@shannelmorris]

Ahh I can’t remember for the life of me 😩 I’m so sorry! ❤️❤️

[@rob.6070]

@@shannelmorris Heyy its ok, I just came back from there last week, it was amazing!

[@khadijhaf4400]

How was the resort food ? And nightly entertainment

[@shannelmorris]

Heyy babe! From what I remember I liked the resort food and when we went into the city the food was even better 😋

[@erictello1]

Heloo Shannel, I love the video. I'm actually traveling to Panama next week and I'm also staying at Riu Playa Blanca. My question to you is, how was the driving from the airport to the hotel? I see on the map that is a 2 hours drive, was is a smooth drive?. Thanks

[@shannelmorris]

Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The airport I flew into was the Scarlett Martinez International airport which was 15 minutes away from the resort. The ride was short and sweet. Double check which airport you will be flying into. There is also Tocumen International Airport that is closer to Panama City, but 2 hours away from Riu Playa Blanca. When I did travel from the hotel to Panama City it was about 1 hour and 45 minutes drive and it wasn’t bad. There are a few speed bumps but other than that the roads were smooth. I hope that helps. Let me know how your trip goes.

[@ziairj]

Was it a lot of kids on the resort? Im looking for an adult only resort but i can't find any

[@shannelmorris]

There wasn’t a lot of kids when I went but it was not an adults only resort. I hope you find a great one tho!

[@Grim_Torcha]

Which agency did you book this through

[@shannelmorris]

I booked it myself through Sunwing vacations. They have great deals 💕💫

[@emilioreed8765]

How far is Panama city from the RIU

[@shannelmorris]

It’s about 2 hours but the tour guy made it feel shorter 💞

[@queenmomo361]

Hey.. Did you get to do any shopping? what would it cost to grab a taxi to the mall?

[@shannelmorris]

I wishh I got to shop!! But I heard the shopping isn’t bad in Panama though ❤️

[@alexandreaclarke6106]

Is this an all inclusive hotel?

[@shannelmorris]

Yes it is! The best way to go. I eat around the clock on vacation lol ❤️

[@stefanjordan4770]

Is panama boring at all? Im struggling to find worthwhile excursions like cancun. Other than obviously the Canal..

[@shannelmorris]

There were other excursions when I went. You can go quading, jet ski etc. just like Cancun. Check with your hotel when you’re there.

[@Grim_Torcha]

Would really appreciate it

[@shannelmorris]

Thanks for watching! I booked it through Sunwing vacations 💕💫

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@syky1837]

?? How is there service as far as day trips away from the resort....

[@shannelmorris]

Lol it depends on where your hotel is located. My main attraction for Panama is the Canal and the city. Sometimes the resorts are far from those attractions.

[@syky1837]

@shannelmorris yes we are going staying at the same resort you did, was concern about the day trips to the Panama canal and if the resort had regular trip there.

[@shannelmorris]

They did have regular trips there when we went. When you arrive at the hotel you can arrange it with a Sunwing representative on the resort. They provide an entire day of guided tour in the city
