    Lovely getaway and just a few minutes away from Panama City. We loved our stay here!

    Bees and chitre's are a problem. I got stung by a bee on our first day there and on the second night while having dinner outside the chitres ate us alive. My husband had 27 bites and I had at least half of that. Do not come here without bringing your bug spray or if you are allergic to bees!

    The beds and pillows are amazing! To the extend that I inquired where to buy the pillows :-) The sushi restaurant was great and the service in general was on par. Good value for money. Food was decent, cocktails at the pool were always flowing and there are some good wine choices for dinner.

    I think everything is just a little out of date at this location. There were a lot of broken tiles along the walkways. And the rooms and facilities are lacking modernization. The kids club was closed for the entirety of our stay so that wasn't an available option for us. Overall, I don't think this hotel is what I was looking for in Panama but that's no fault of the resort. There was a playground for the kids but it looked old and sketchy and my kids didn't want to use it.

    The pools were pretty nice. The kids had fun and enjoyed swimming. The pillows in the rooms are comfortable. The food at the buffet was decent. The espresso martinis were the best I've ever had-exceptional.

    Got stuck in the elevator the first day. Food on the property was expensive (if you chose not to do all inclusive). Staff made it hard to book a spa appointment and ended up leaving without going to the spa.

    Staff was nice, room was nice.

    To Serve plastic cubs at the Pool should be forbidden they fly in the Pool. Also at the breakfast you can choose to take Plastik cups instead of glasses, which shouldn't be done nowadays.

    Nice rooms but slightly overpriced. This results from all the Americans who dominate the hotel

    The hotel is close to the city, yet very isolated from the surrounding area of Veracruz where I understand there are some good places to eat. One of the pools on the far end was not maintained and it was quite unsightly. Panama has many beautiful beaches, the beach at Playa Bonita was not one of them.

    The proximity to the city.

    THE BEST BEACH HOTEL NEAR TO PANAMA CITY

    The front desk staff could be more polite.

    The property's best feature is its location, in front of the Pacific Ocean, which offers a magnificent view of the Panama Canal ship entrance. It is a well-maintained, clean, beautiful, and spacious building surrounded by nature with everything needed to stay relaxed. Having visited the venue several times, I can affirm that it is the best option for a beach hotel near Panama City. It suits families, couples, or lonely, leisure or business travel.

    My sister and I are both retired teachers. In Panama, almost every sale or service give you a discount (sizeable) if you are retired. The recepcionist of the hotel, however, said that because the booking was made by the site of Booking.com, we were not entitled to the discount. I found this affirmation unfair but thete was nothing we could do.

    Everything, except the discount in the daily fare that I was entitled to have as a retired person.

    The pools were very dirty throughout our stay. Service at the restaurants was very slow. The lawn chairs needed to be cleaned. lots of bird poop on them. The hotel is away from the city.

    The beds were very comfortable. Room is a great size and it was very clean. we had an ocean view and it was very nice.

    the A La Carte restaurants are great, but the waiting time is too long. you ask for the food and you have to wait a great deal of time for it to get to your table.

    amazing place to go to the beach near Panama City. it’s a paradise!! we took the all inclusive option and we didn’t regret! it was expensive but we really did have a great time.
