Nov 24, 2024Very nice week
Just came back from this Resort. The Resort itself is beautiful and clean. The food is very good. The service is excellent, mostly in spanish, no english speaking. The entertainement is very good. The beach has a lot of shade due to plam trees which I love but the sand was dark. Unfortunately, we coun't swin in the ocean, the waves which were too strong and the water was dirty. I am not a pool person but I had no choice.

No complaints here
A little slower at the airport than other places, as they run your bags thru the conveyor/scanner. No problem, we are here. Bus shuttle very fast. Check in fast. Room freaking awesome. We chose the ocean front, and it was WELL worth it. Room 4014. So you get pool and ocean view. Fully stocked bar/coffee area. Rooms clean no problems with anything there. Lobby bar very nice. Shout out to Carlos the bartender; You will see us again next year Carlos. Pool area quiet enough; Not too crazy. Adult only. Bartenders very attentive. Did two excursions, the first being rainforest, and second being Panama Canal and Panama City. Rain forest was 6 hours; Perfect. The latter was close to a twelve hour day, but you gotta do it, we are in Panama. Food was great. We attended the Asian, 2X Italian, and Steakhouse. No bookings allowed but simply do the buffet initially and see what times are best, as you pass by a la carts when going to buffet. {Steakhouse excluded} They had a beach party one night; Lots of energy, so one cannot help to catch the vibe. Vendors on beach was minimal, and did not harass you. Even the typical tourist items were reasonable $$ Took a 10 km run on the beach and not much action/people. We made a good choice. We going back for sure.

Awesome holiday
I was at the resort from October 21 to November 4. I had an excellent holiday. I was given a big room with a king size on 6th floor with a nice view from my balcony. It was clean and in good shape. The food at the specialty restaurants and buffet was very good. The drinks even though they don't use top shelf alcohol were very good. The swim up bar pool was always clean. They inforced the adult only rule in a very timely manner. The bartenders made me new and tasty cocktails every day. The pool side BBQ's at lunch were enjoyable the days they had them. Every staff member I interacted with were very approachable, polite and friendly. The only negative was the beach..... was red flag the whole time. I already knew the ocean was not like the DR. Was still fun to walk the beach daily. I would recommend the resort and can't wait to go back.
