Gran Evenia Bijao - All Inclusive

Gran Evenia Bijao - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"We staid at the Grand Evenia for 4 nights. Overall everything was really great. The food was really good for the most part. We found the buffett to be the best. They have a few restaurants you have to make reservations for(Japanese, Medeteranian, and one other type), but they were just OK. The buffet is where they really shined. They had quite a few Panamanian dishes. The pool area is great and relaxing. The beach area is also nice. We had a sliding door that opened but it wasn't a balcony. It would have been nice to have a balcony room. The only issue we had was with hot water working intermittently in the shower, but they came and repaired it. As I said overall the stay was great. There is so much relaxation and value for the money."

"The rooms are cozy and clean, some minor details but not that disturbing. The breakfast was included and very good. Overall it’s a nice place to stay with family. Maintenance should look for room details and fix them in the room. The only issue was that my VIP Gold benefits were not offered or staff did not know of them."

8/10 Good
"Great property and beach in a relaxed atmosphere. Best value for money in terms of restaurants is the Japanese restaurant. Food in the main restaurant is average but there are some options. Staff is extremely helpful and nice. The rooms require a cosmetic update, same as the spa and gym - some areas are not well maintained. Overall we had a great time - beach is awesome!"

San Carlos Beach Inn

San Carlos Beach Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and beds were comfortable. It was a 15 minute walk to the beach and next to local corner stores and restaurants. The owner was nice and showed us around when we came in. It was also around a 20 minute walk from the bus stop so there's no need for a car to move around. Theres a rooftop bbq area with hammocks and table top games that anyone staying can use. There's friendly cats on the property so that's a plus too. The shower was a hassle to use, the shower head sprayed everywhere other than me and to use the hot water I had to keep my finger on a hose coming out of the heater. In the middle of the night another person staying came over banging at the door and swearing over tv noise not letting her sleep, even though the volume was at 10%, so noise travels easily between rooms."
