The hotel is gorgeous, great customer service. Great food, overall very clean, nut the hotel can do more maintenance in all the pool areas. My main problem and the reason why I wouldn't go back is the amount of humidity in the room we got is overwhelming hard to breathe they should had a dehumidifier is brutal.

What an AMAZING oasis! From the moment we walked in, Arnold at the desk warmed our souls with his radiant smile and very personable demeanor. Ivan in the bar/lounge was just as gracious and poured us several great cocktails. We had a blast with Luis who drove us to a nearby restaurant on the resort property. His English was wonderful, and his stories were welcomed. EVERYONE at the facility was warm and greeted us with smiles. Our room was clean, the views spectacular, and the prices fair. If we ever make it back to Panama, we'll DEFINITELY visit again.

Gorgeous location. Check-in was the worst part of my experience - its as if they were just not expecting us. They need to be more efficient. Also - concierge service below par - dinner reservations that were promised but never made. Staff need to be more attentive and honest. No excuses for this. Apart from this I loved the property and most of the amenities.
