Experience

We arrived at 2:15 pm, we know check in is 3:00pm, we tried to know if we can check in in advance, but staff said check in at 3:00, that’s totally fine, but no one told us we have to draw a number to check in. All check in process is terrible. When we get into the room, there is no towels, staff said no enough towels, and we only get two at last, but we have 4 people. The bed is horrible, because it's quilt cover not quilt, we sleep very uncomfortable. We even take towels to cover our body. We eat Panama Canal restaurant, the plate wasn’t clean at all. The food, the entertainment are good.

This is a large resort about 120 Km from Panama City on Pacific coast . The nature is beautiful in the resort which has not been renovated for at least ten years . The resort has several sections including privately owned condos and villas. The food quality is 3 star at best with reasonable choices . The most attractive feature of this resort is a gigantic man made lagoon with concrete floor . However, I was lucky to be under radar and was able to use the best and cleanest part of this Lagoon during my 3 days stay . I learned at the end that part is reserved for the units owners only ! The price is reasonable and staff are friendly and only a few speak some English. It is a beautiful and comfortable place with a variety of sport facilities.

Room are very old, no control of the AC - room were very cold even with 2 blankets I was still cold. water from the shower was too weak and I couldn’t wash my body so don’t ask for my hair. No glass in the room, food was not really good. Meat too cook, no house wine at the Italian restaurant so you have to pay for wine if you want any. Music is so loud, no way you can have a spot to just relax. Even at night, the music is so loud, it was difficult to go to bed early. I wanted to leave before the end of my stay, they did not want to cancel my last night and reimburse me but I left anyway. I will never go back there and I will never recommend this place to my worse ennemies.

Two star at best.

I have been to many all inclusives and this one is one of the worst! Pools were dirty, beds uncomfortable, advertise it is beach resort and casino, does not have a casino, food is horrible, got food poisoning, the salt water pool is only a very small portion of the ten acre pool that really isn’t part of it and had no bathroom in that area so use your imagination of what was happening!

This property is a lot of fun, but the food selections aren't great. We stayed two nights. We were not able to eat at a restaurant the night we arrived (their rules? they just said we couldn't) and the second night we were there there was only one restaurant open and it was fully booked out by 7 am the day of. The buffet was not great food. Understandably the food selections are catered towards Panamanian guests, but there were American food options, but the quality was very poor. I didn't enjoy eating the food for the most part. The kids loved the place which was nice. They were fine with the food. Our group was 17 total people, so plenty of opinions to go around. But overall our experience was fun and enjoyable. They close the pools too early. Our kids wanted to keep playing but they closed the pools with the slides at like 5 or 6 pm and the other pools just an hour later which was strange. They also "closed the beach" and kicked our kids off the beach at 5 when their life guards left. This shouldn't be the case with a public beach. They should just post signs that life guards are not on the beach. Plenty of day light out, but we weren't allowed on the beach. The rooms were nice, but the beds were small. The rooms claimed to fit 6 people in them, but only had two fulls in two of our rooms and two queens in another room. We had to request rollaway beds that were in very poor condition and extremely hard. The room size was big enough to have a 3rd bed.
