This is a great resort for families. The staff is wonderful, helpful, attentive and friendly. The pools, slides and food were great. My kids loved the activities. The pools were spotless and the active lifeguards were a very nice surprise for a parent. I’ve was concerned after I saw so many negative reviews but I think they must be taking the comments seriously because it was an amazing stay.

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

The resort was awesome. Loved that the beach was next to it and the food tasted very good. The rooms were clean and spacious. They gave me an extra cot for my child since we are a family of 5. I was very pleased with the service that was offered along with the amenities.

8/10 Very good

This resort was quite good. It was not crowded and it was compact. I definitely will visit again. Only wish the swimming pools had more shadow areas since the sun in Panama is very strong. Food was tasty and the menu rotated everyday. The nightly shows were kind of cheesy (except by the young singer from Ecuador who had a pretty voice).

The room is renovated and very nice but the balcony door didnt close completely so you could listen to music and conversations from the pool and downstairs.
Clarissa E, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

It is a smaller resort so every part of the resort is accessible by foot. Very family oriented. They had activities for kids and adults at different times throughout the day. The buffet had enough variety to provide something for everyone and not too much that food was just sitting there.
Odessa, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My family has visited a lot of all inclusive resorts and this is one of our favorites! The food is delicious (we prefer the buffet and didn’t try the restaurants). The pools are lovely and the water slides are so so fun. I have a 12 and 14 year old who were so happy and entertained. The ocean is perfect for swimming and playing in (small) waves. Their beach is very clean with soft sand and the pool games were a blast. Our room was very clean, classy and a fantastic ocean view. I wish there was coffee in the rooms or available earlier, but that rang true for every place we stayed in Panama. The resort has lifeguards on duty at the pools and at the beach who are very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend and we will definitely return
