Great Stay

There was no bottled water in the room - it always was on previous trips. Also, there was only one Nespresso Pod in the room and no creamer. There was no washcloth and only one hand towel. Everything else was great. Breakfast was excellent.

Great location, beautiful hotel and pool

Our stay was nice. We added two days to the beginning of our reservation due to changed plans. The first room hotel put us in was a modernized remodeled cabana pool room. Unfortunately as nice as room was there was a glass shower and toilet area w no privacy glass, so completely viewable from room. This didn’t work for our family. So I requested another room. All they had left in cabana pool rooms were the non remodeled rooms w no modernization. But had private bathroom. We decided to downgrade and move to 2 nd room option. The room smelled musty and was outdated but served its purpose. Beds were nice, right on pool deck and near breakfast buffet.

Hello El Panama

Stayed here for a single night before heading to San Blas islands. Can't speak for other rooms in the hotel, but the one they assigned to me and the family was not great. Bathroom was in poor cosmetic condition, but still good functionally. Location was good, views were great and AC was fantastic. Would recommend they do some renovating.

Overall the hotel is pretty nice, but the area not so much and the staff, I think they need more training. They don’t greet or acknowledge unless you approach. They don’t seem to have any supervision and do as they please. We visited the bbq area by the pool and sat at a table expecting a waiter to come by and offer a drink. After 30 minutes we left and during that time various staff passed by but no one even acknowledged us. Sad!
