Best part of my trip was the view of the ocean. I was there for 6 days. 1st room we had bed was broken so we had to be moved to another room. Got in there it was worst than the 1st room. Next morning I asked the cleaning people multiple time will they come inside to clean room I was told there not like other hotels they do not come clean or take trash out until 4 days of stay. So I went to front desk to ask for a manager and was told I have to request for my room to be cleaned so I did everyday no one came the clean the room I had to keep going down stairs to get towels after I leave the room for that day. I stayed bc of what I had to do there in Panama but I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone

Needs work
The location was perfect. Great sunset views off balcony. The pool was great and warm for this time of year. The hotel needs a lot of updating. Our room on the other hand was disgusting. We did not take our shoes off the entire stay. The one heat unit did not heat the room. We made the best of it but I can’t say that we would stay again unfortunately.

Horrible condition. Bathroom had mold on ceiling and sink. Rust on all doors. Paint peeling from walls and ceiling. Beds very uncomfortable. Construction going on and very inconvenient.Chair on balcony was broken and room had a mildew smell. Nice staff. Charged a “damage deposit”. Pool in good condition and public beach access.

My stay
The property is located by the sea which is nice however the room we stayed in was very outdated. There were so many little things that can interfere with your vacation. I went with a friend who constantly stays at the hotel and said this is the worst room at the resort. The check in process was easy and the staff I interacted with were pleasant
