Two star at best.

I have been to many all inclusives and this one is one of the worst! Pools were dirty, beds uncomfortable, advertise it is beach resort and casino, does not have a casino, food is horrible, got food poisoning, the salt water pool is only a very small portion of the ten acre pool that really isn’t part of it and had no bathroom in that area so use your imagination of what was happening!

This property is a lot of fun, but the food selections aren't great. We stayed two nights. We were not able to eat at a restaurant the night we arrived (their rules? they just said we couldn't) and the second night we were there there was only one restaurant open and it was fully booked out by 7 am the day of. The buffet was not great food. Understandably the food selections are catered towards Panamanian guests, but there were American food options, but the quality was very poor. I didn't enjoy eating the food for the most part. The kids loved the place which was nice. They were fine with the food. Our group was 17 total people, so plenty of opinions to go around. But overall our experience was fun and enjoyable. They close the pools too early. Our kids wanted to keep playing but they closed the pools with the slides at like 5 or 6 pm and the other pools just an hour later which was strange. They also "closed the beach" and kicked our kids off the beach at 5 when their life guards left. This shouldn't be the case with a public beach. They should just post signs that life guards are not on the beach. Plenty of day light out, but we weren't allowed on the beach. The rooms were nice, but the beds were small. The rooms claimed to fit 6 people in them, but only had two fulls in two of our rooms and two queens in another room. We had to request rollaway beds that were in very poor condition and extremely hard. The room size was big enough to have a 3rd bed.

No había mucha variedad en el menú de las comidas. Los jugos y tragos muy diluidos la calidad bajó muchísimo en comparación a visitas anteriores. El aire acondicionado de la habitación no funcionaba, sábanas manchadas y espejos y mobiliario de la habitación deteriorado, adicional la ducha no funcionaba bien. Solo salía agua hirviendo

Much improvement needed!

This place is a collection of multiple properties. I was put in a property that wasn't listed as an option on Hotels.com nor expedia. The pool in the photo wasn't operational. I had to walk a quarter mile to the actual resort to access functioning pools and other amenities. They don't offer enough chair on the beach to accommodate more than 20 people. A joke of an operation if you ask me. I booked an ocean view and the room I got was first a 4th floor with a parking lot view but I changed to the first floor with the SAME VIEW because the sliding door lock was busted. The rooms were condos with no cookware, plates, cups, nor utensils. And worst of all.....they don't provide FACE TOWELS! They only had drying towels and towels to step onto upon exiting the shower. Book at your own risk.

The property is beautiful on the outside but when you go into the rooms everything needs renovating, from the bathroom mirrors to the bedroom furniture…the food is the same every day no variety,it’s advertised as a bilingual resort..everyone speaks Spanish,minimal English and it doesn’t seem as if they’re even interested in making an effort…The alcohol is watered down,..when you go to beach the guys are there with their horses,that’s popping on the beach…then one of the hotel workers attempted to charge me $20 to use a beach chair that was already on the resort property..She claimed it was for customers that were at a particular beach restaurant (which there were none).,..Then they had stray dogs just roaming the resort,they come up while your eating or if your on the beach relaxing!!!,If I could rate it a 0 I would,but the servers where pleasant and it stop right there.

I don’t want to bash the place because the staff were AMAZING however this resort is for people on a budget and or locals from the area. Only reason I came here was because it was the half way point in meeting my long distance family. The Rui next door was a lot nicer and vibe was good.
