The property itself is really cool, a hotel on the beach. Really nice. The onlyknock on this hotel was that there was low tide in the morning that affected the beach in the area.

Although the property could use an update (beds, flooring, showers the big beach chair for pictures is broken), the staff was pleasant and made me feel welcome! The food I tried was ok. The tour company Panamazing was awesome. Overall, a nice stay!

If your use to all inclusive like RIU, Dreams, or Hyatt this is not the place for you. It’s nothing like an all inclusive. Only 1 choice for breakfast sometimes dinner as well, room service not included in the all inclusive package. And most staff is not friendly.

The hotel (Room, pool, beach) was beautiful, staff was nice, the food was good, fruit is fresh. It took a few calls to get room service, but once ordered the food came pretty fast.

The property was beautiful! The staff members were friendly and welcoming. The room accommodation was perfect. It was for guests in one room and we did not feel like we were on top of each other. The room was spacious. On the other hand, what I did not like was the lack of nightly entertainment. Guess went back to their rooms. I understand a Monday through Thursday, but the weekend the entertainment should have been vital for a more joyful time at the resort.

As long as you are staying in the property and enjoying the pools and the beach, you are OK. The beach has a lot of dirt floating around in the water. The hotel doesn’t make any effort to clean it up if you ever go out to the city and try to come back in the evening, crossing the bridges of America takes almost an hour when you normally take 15 minutes to get back to the hotel?

Beautiful resort , even loved the low tide beach that happens every 5 hours … can collect shells . The staff was super sweet and going during low season was great !! Very accommodating and attentive to my family . Loved it . One feedback I would give is the rooms lighting needs to be more bright …. The lightning is warm and dim .It is nice but for the night when getting ready and wanting to put makeup while others are in the restroom , it’s hard to see . They should put more brighter lighting in the rooms
