Food was great, we had a great time. Property is really big, plan for a lot of walking. The whole thing with access to salt water pool is very confusing ask a lot of questions before booking. The rooms need to be updated. Doors don’t work, things like that. Other than that is a good resort if you don’t care about older structures.

Guys, please don't stay there, it was the worst hotel I've stayed at in my life. It took me 4 hours to get there from the airport, when my friend and I arrived at the hotel, the room was dirty, stain on the sheets, and the bathroom was a mess. Although the staff was very sweet, and they changed my room, I didn't have a good time during my stay, the hotel falsely advertises itself as a luxurious resort, however, it is not that!!!

Resort focused on locals. Some staff don’t even speak English. Rooms are dated with broken furniture. Bathroom with faulty toilets and gunk in the shower glass. Food s not bad but repetitive and boring. Specialty restaurants food is mediocre with premium to visit tepanyaky and steak. Pool music is based on small groups that bring their own boombox and it becomes very noise and annoying. Beach is rough with a step made which can be dangerous for kids specially. We rented a vehicle to go visit sites around. The rental comes with surprise extra insurance to be paid at the time you pick up your car, and cannot be avoided according to local laws. Overall, for comfort, and pleasure it disappoints. If you’re one of those that can make the best decision f anyplace without being too fancy, go for it.

My Vacation Stay

Food at the buffet was good, a variety for every taste and preferences. Restaurants reservations were not that bad and there's alway the choice of complementing with the buffet if La Carta is not as expected. The bed was comfortable and clean.

I’m writing this review after staying at this hotel twice, and unfortunately, my experience has been consistently disappointing. The food is extremely basic—far below what you would expect in Panama, a country known for its amazing cuisine. It honestly felt very low quality and repetitive. The only positive aspect is the staff. They are kind, friendly, and do their best with what they have. The pool is also nice and enjoyable. However, the biggest issue is the condition of the facilities. The hotel looks old, poorly maintained, and quite neglected. Everything feels outdated and not taken care of, which makes the overall experience very disappointing. I gave this place a second chance, hoping things would improve, but nothing changed. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it unless major improvements are made.
