Night staff needs way more training. Rooms with kitchens/dishwashers should have dishes. Mattresses need to be updated. Wish the tiki bar area would open (2nd stay in 4 mths) Location & price are great.

I absolutely loved the 2 pools and hot tub. We loved almost everything about this hotel. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. The only 2 things I could suggest is 1.) having a charcoal grill out with the gas grills and 2.) I hated not being able to adjust the AC down low enough at night. We sleep at 68 at night and it was not allowed to go below 72. We just opened the doors to let the cold air in for a bit but I feel if you rent a room you should be able to stay comfortable in at as if you are at home. We will be back many times. We have stayed at many hotels in Panama City. Normally 2 times a year for a week and we have now found our favorite one. Thank you.
