Very nice area, it was once you Sheraton and we loved it then. We had many people and were able to fit all in three rooms. Food was fantastic, pools are great, but too bad about the bar! And the beach, magnificent as always in Panama. We will be back so we can enjoy the pool bar hopefully get complementary upgrade! Thank you so much

Great trip

The hotel was great, so clean and polite staff. Beautifully landscaping over looking the ocean. The weather was great the whole trip really enjoyed my staf. The two cons, the food was mediocre and distance to cities was long

6/10 Good

I did not like the fact that the swimming pool and beach closes at 6pm. The adult's show was poor. The hotel was ok.
Mariela M, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location, activities, specially for kids, water slides and other activities. Needs improvement at the snack bar by the main swimming poolside but it was tolerable. Noisy the first night but improved by the second night and after I approach the front desk and informed them. The rest of our stay was fantastic.

The resort was awesome. Loved that the beach was next to it and the food tasted very good. The rooms were clean and spacious. They gave me an extra cot for my child since we are a family of 5. I was very pleased with the service that was offered along with the amenities.

8/10 Very good

This resort was quite good. It was not crowded and it was compact. I definitely will visit again. Only wish the swimming pools had more shadow areas since the sun in Panama is very strong. Food was tasty and the menu rotated everyday. The nightly shows were kind of cheesy (except by the young singer from Ecuador who had a pretty voice).
edegar, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was clean and nice, facilities needs a little bit of extra care, check-in process was awful, there was about 60 guest making it at the same time so was a long wait. I think they should get prepared for that. Food was nice, breakfast excellent, dinner at the main restaurant was not so good. Entertainment show for kids and adult was very good. Its a nice hotel, we enjoy our stay, just few thinks to improve.
