The room was not in a good condition, it presented cracked walls. The restaurant and staff we always in a bad mood and not courteous at all. The place was understaffed and the quality of the food was not good.

Very nice area, it was once you Sheraton and we loved it then. We had many people and were able to fit all in three rooms. Food was fantastic, pools are great, but too bad about the bar! And the beach, magnificent as always in Panama. We will be back so we can enjoy the pool bar hopefully get complementary upgrade! Thank you so much

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed at the resort last week and overall everything was fine — the place is clean, the service was good, and the food was nice. However, I found one rule quite ridiculous. I was asked to go all the way back upstairs to my room because I was wearing my beach cover-up (those light, transparent clothes you wear over a swimsuit) in the restaurant. I completely understand not allowing people to come in dripping wet or wearing only a bikini, but not being allowed to wear beach clothes at a poolside restaurant makes no sense. It felt unnecessary and inconvenient, especially since the restaurant is basically next to the pool.
