Fantastic Food Options

During my stay, I enjoyed the diverse dining options available at the resort. The buffet restaurant offered a decent variety that satisfied different tastes, and trying the a la carte options was a highlight. I particularly loved the seafood dinner arranged for my family, which turned out to be the best meal I had during the trip!

Amazing Pool Experience

I was impressed by the resort's extensive pool facilities. There are so many pools to choose from, which meant I could always find a quiet spot to relax. It felt great to unwind by the poolside with a cold drink, especially in the warm Panamanian sun. The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing vacation.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

The room I stayed in was very spacious and comfortable, providing ample space for my family. The beds were super comfy, and I appreciated the cleanliness throughout my stay. Although the decor could use a little updating, it didn’t impact our comfort at all. I felt like we had a genuine escape.

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment at the resort. It was a joy to watch the children’s shows followed by karaoke and adult performances. The variety ensured that there was something fun for everyone, and it was a great way to spend our evenings together as a family. Definitely a major plus for our vacation!

My recent stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The staff truly excelled in customer service, going above and beyond, especially during a challenging situation. The hotel offers beautiful grounds and clean facilities, but some areas, especially the dining room cleanliness, left much to be desired. The site is quite large with many stairs, making mobility an issue for some visitors. Overall, the experience was mixed, with some great moments outweighed by disappointing aspects.

The resort's location is stunning, situated on a hillside with beautiful views, but the size of the property means quite a bit of walking, which may not be ideal for everyone.

I booked this hotel for a last-minute getaway before Christmas, and while it had its perks like easy access to the beach and ample lounge chairs, the dated rooms and slow check-in were disappointing. The food options were varied, and the staff were friendly and helpful, but some aspects, like towel availability and the need for renovations, really held it back from being a great stay.

The resort had a large pool and several fun facilities for families, but the main pool was often busy and loud. More shade areas would be appreciated.

6.4/10

The hotel offers a beautiful setting, especially for those who enjoy golf and a lively atmosphere. The rooms can be a hit or miss depending on location and cleanliness, and while the beach is nice, the noise level can be quite disruptive. The staff are friendly, but language barriers can affect the service experience.

Rooms

6.0

We started in a room that smelled of mildew and had to switch to a second-floor ocean view room, which was clean and comfortable but had thin walls allowing for noise from neighboring rooms.

Service

6.0

Service varied widely; most staff were friendly, but many struggled with English, which made communication challenging. There were long wait times at restaurants.

Location

The hotel is steeply built on hills, making it quite a trek to get from the rooms to the pools or beach, which could be a challenge for families or those with mobility issues.

Dining

Food was decent with a range of options, but the experience could be hit or miss, especially with long waits during busy hours.

While the beach and pools were lovely, the restricted hours for the pools were disappointing. The golf course was an attractive facility.

Overall, my stay at the resort was enjoyable with some notable highs and lows. The beach area was stunning and the pools were relaxing, but I had some issues with the dining options and service. The room situation was initially problematic, but it ultimately turned around. I appreciated the clean facilities and the ambiance of the resort, although the steep hills made it a little challenging to navigate with a family.

Rooms

7.0

We initially received a room with two double beds instead of the king size we asked for, and it had a moldy smell. However, thanks to a wonderful staff member, we were able to switch to a much better room on the second floor with a lovely ocean view. It was clean and comfortable, which improved our stay significantly.

Service

While the service did have its ups and downs, we did have some positive interactions with staff, especially when it came to resolving room issues. However, language barriers were prevalent throughout the resort, making communication tough at times.
