It is a smaller resort so every part of the resort is accessible by foot. Very family oriented. They had activities for kids and adults at different times throughout the day. The buffet had enough variety to provide something for everyone and not too much that food was just sitting there.

My family has visited a lot of all inclusive resorts and this is one of our favorites! The food is delicious (we prefer the buffet and didn’t try the restaurants). The pools are lovely and the water slides are so so fun. I have a 12 and 14 year old who were so happy and entertained. The ocean is perfect for swimming and playing in (small) waves. Their beach is very clean with soft sand and the pool games were a blast. Our room was very clean, classy and a fantastic ocean view. I wish there was coffee in the rooms or available earlier, but that rang true for every place we stayed in Panama. The resort has lifeguards on duty at the pools and at the beach who are very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend and we will definitely return

DO NOT STAY HERE — THEY STOLE MY RINGS AND DIDN’T CARE! I had the absolute worst experience at this resort. On the day of checkout, I took a quick shower and rushed out of my room, accidentally leaving my engagement ring and wedding ring behind. As soon as I realized, I immediately tried to contact the resort, hoping they could help me locate my rings. Getting in touch with them was a nightmare. They did not have a working toll-free number, and the number listed on their website did not work. I had to email them, and it took them days to respond. I finally had to ask a friend from Panama to call them from a local number, and that’s the only way I was able to get through to them. Even then, their response was cold and dismissive. They claimed my rings were not found and showed zero interest in looking into it or helping me. It’s clear that someone on their staff stole my rings, and the resort did absolutely nothing to investigate or assist me. No sympathy, no concern, just a flat-out “we don’t have them” attitude. I am devastated. My priceless, sentimental rings are gone forever, and this resort did not care one bit. If you value your belongings or expect basic human decency, DO NOT STAY HERE. They are unprofessional, unhelpful, and apparently have dishonest staff. Worst experience of my life.

First the good - the property is beautiful and well maintained. Except for the stench of sewer, which was consistent and property wide. Unfortunately, the entertainment area is centrally located near the hotel rooms. From early in the morning until 11pm, people will be yelling on a microphone in Spanish. It was a lot of noise and hype, not “entertainment”. There was no where peaceful or quiet to relax and escape the noise of constant microphone hype. The music was not diverse, just Latin. The fruit was nice. I thought the food was decent, although limited in selection, but my husband did not like it at all. We ended up renting a car and eating out several times. The water is not safe to drink. The staff was adequate but not friendly. I speak a little Spanish, which was necessary, as the staff speaks very little English. The rooms lack basics such as wash rags and ironing boards. We ended up leaving 2 days early as we couldn’t handle the noise, smell, and food for the full week we booked.

My brother and I got really sick from the resort we were vomiting and had severe diarrhea for two days straight. The resort was pretty but they need to do something about maintaining the food properly cold or hot and using potable water for ice.

We were 5 adults - 4 seniors staying for 3 days at this property. 4 of us ended up deathly ill from norovirus or another GI disease. Looking at some of the reviews lately this is a problem that they have completely ignored and could care less about. Unless you want to spend three days with projectile vomiting while sitting on the toilet - DO NOT STAY HERE!!
