PANAMA VLOG - RIU PLAYA BLANCA

LOOKING FOR A GET AWAY?
Take a trip to Panama! There's lots to do and see. You will meet some of the best people and have some delicious food.
I stayed at Riu Playa Blanca which is a relaxing hotel. It is about an hour and half drive away from Panama City. Panama City is definitely a place to explore. Parts of the city have a Miami feel and a snip-it of Europe.
Hope you enjoy the vlog!

[@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.

[@omergradit273]

Thank you babe! ❤️💫

[@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! 💞

[@kishiareams3735]

Thank you for the information

[@shannelmorris]

Anytime! Thank you for watching 🤗

[@camillesegree5689]

Panama 🇵🇦 is so beautiful

[@shannelmorris]

It’s gorgeous!

[@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

[@hannahperetz7892]

Nice video 🔥

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you! More travel content coming soon ❤️💫

[@vassanapanamabay4498]

So nice

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you love! ❤️❤️

[@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 ☺️

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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 💕

[@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! 💞

[@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.

[@camillesegree5689]

[@shannelmorris]

❤️❤️❤️

[@queenmomo361]

Did you book the excursion prior to going?

[@shannelmorris]

No I booked the excursion there with Sunwing 😊❤️

[@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

[@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 🙌🏾

[@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!

[@opulenceautobuy8188]

Nice video.

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you! 🤗

[@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.

[@gregoriousgotti5115]

Good Video ..Shannel..you look like a Model ..😘♥️..Black Princess

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you! You’re so sweet 🥰

[@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)

[@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 😋

[@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!

[@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 💕💫

[@emilioreed8765]

How far is Panama city from the RIU

[@shannelmorris]

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

[@mariehill6427]

So beautiful 🔥🔥🔥

[@shannelmorris]

Thank you!! 🥰🥰❤️

[@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 ❤️

[@queenmomo361]

@@shannelmorris Thanks for the reply. I am going in 2 weeks.

[@alexandreaclarke6106]
