Very Good

Very nice pool, beach and spa....very happy with the resort. Also, very nice sports bar 24 hrs....i would recommend finding a hotel transfer when you get there...paid for a private van, never found shuttle, had to pay alot more for a taxi last minute.....
This is a great resort for families. The staff is wonderful, helpful, attentive and friendly. The pools, slides and food were great. My kids loved the activities. The pools were spotless and the active lifeguards were a very nice surprise for a parent. I’ve was concerned after I saw so many negative reviews but I think they must be taking the comments seriously because it was an amazing stay.
Clean room on my part, one of my friends had some minor dirt under his bedsheets but no big deal. Food from any of the restaurants is great, the buffet is nice but the snacks...not so much. Drinks were really nice but most of the staff (other than the receptionists) were not too kind, kinda made me feel guilty to be there but there's a reason we panamenians are not known for incredible our customer service.
The pools were nice, and the spa was absolutely great, would definitely go back someday

It’s a gem. A modest room refresh and small improvements could go a long way. Food was good but could also be taken up just one notch to make this a place to rave about.
