Not worth the money - mediocre at best!

We were made to wait at check in for one of our rooms (we arrived around 4:30pm and they were still “waiting” for confirmation on our room being ready (check in is at 3!!!) - the room we finally got 30 minutes later, had a terrible odor and the door was hard to open/close (scrapped the floor hard and loud every time we opened/closed it). Food options - limited and terrible! I get that it’s “all inclusive” but food quality sucked!! Food should not be cold every single time we tried to eat!!! Flies/nats were all over the fruit & salad bar. Pancake/waffle toppings (syrups, honey, chocolate etc…) were served /available in big bowls with spoons instead of bottles (to pour from) - (food debris and one morning, a whole pancake , were dropped into the syrup bowls) - not very hygienic or appetizing! Transport access horrible - aside from being further out from the city, hotel staff are incompetent! Requested/reserved a VAN transport to airport two days prior to our check out, triple confirmed the reservation (with the same person) the day before, the morning of and even checked out an hour early only to have to rush and scramble last minute (for an hour) trying to get the van we requested a the staff has ordered a small SUV (we were a party of four w/ large luggage and wanted to drive to the airport in comfort). Side note: Uber vehicles in Panama are SMALLER than in the USA .. the XL Ubers vehicles are mid sized suvs (might claim to be 7 passenger but no space for luggage!!!

Loved to Italian n French food. Bed were very comfortable but pillows were too thick and uncomfortable. Didn’t get the Internet information to connect to. I got a taxi at the airport for my whole family cause it was cheaper than the resorts transportation.

It’s an out of the way property that doesn’t provide a shuttle from the airport. The stay is quiet, if you are booking exertions outside of the people at the hotel make sure they provide transportation. I’m not sure if it was the off season but the hotel did not have a lot of activity the was entertaining. After a while the food got tiresome and we stayed for 8 days. The people who cleaned the rooms were great. The options offered for room service were the same every night. We did enjoy the stay but felt something lacking.

Property was well maintained. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. I had to ask multiple times for some things (towels, robes). Additionally, I contacted the property in advance regarding my friend’s birthday on Saturday, 8/9. I was told amenities would be in the room. I confirmed on check in with the concierge and again with another concierge later in the day. Both said they would take care of it. On the afternoon of my friend’s birthday 8/9, I again had to go ask if anything would be done in the room. Yes eventually she did receive 2 pieces of cake. I shouldn’t have had to ask multiple times and was disappointed that the resort wasn’t able to put a banner on the door or any other decorations in the room. I was willing to pay or bring decorations had I known.

Room service is awful - it can take over two hours for your food to arrive. Housekeeping often forgets to clean the room, so you end up having to go to the front desk to request it. When I arrived, I had to wait two hours past check-in time to get my room. The restaurants aren’t any better — you can wait 30 minutes just for drinks, and the food? They served cold chicken. Overall, a terrible experience. I’d skip this hotel.

The property is in desperate need of updating. I truly emphasize DESPERATE NEED! We stayed in a Preferred Junior King Suite in an effort to avoid the previous reviews about the room conditions, and enjoy the scenery. However, our room smelled of mildew, there were old spider webs on the top of the bed, and our shower door would not remain closed. We actually had to stuff toilet paper along the shower door to keep it closed. I immediately notified the manager on duty about the condition of the room, and was told to address it with the front desk the next morning. We did this, and were given the runaround all day about checking availability of matching rooms. Keep in mind that the resort was basically empty, and we detected no other occupants in any of the adjacent suites that matched ours. The view from the first floor suite (that I paid hundreds to upgrade to) was blocked by palm trees. There was virtually no views of the landscape we were sold on. Our phone in our room only functioned on speaker mode, and that was useless still because no one EVER answered the phone at the front desk! ALL of these issues were brought to the attention of the front desk staff. We were stuck in that musty, expensive room for 3 days. The other staff was pleasant, and we actually enjoyed the food. However, I would not recommend staying at this resort. Our experience was not very good.

This Hotel has false advertisement with the name. Instead of pretty beach, it should be named ugly beach. We were not even able to enjoy the beach. It was dirty and had warnings for animals in the water. The food was bad and limited. We paid for preferred service and it was the same service and food as the regular. customers. I would never recommend this hotel. Bad experience.
