The property was probably beautiful in its prime when it was first created, but at this point, it is completely dilapidated. Everything has been overlooked and neglected as far as maintenance of the grounds and landscaping. Anything that’s metal on the building is rusted and falling apart. The pool was not maintained and green. Everything seems to be breaking and no attention to detail appears to be important to management or the owners. The staff on the other hand is lovely. They appear to be doing the best that they can under such conditions. I’m sure they get plenty of complaints and it’s not their fault. It felt like it’s been abandoned. I booked it based on the pictures on the internet and what I found when I arrived was completely different. I feel like a victim of false advertising. If you’ve changed your standards then your pictures and advertising should be changed to reflect the current state of the hotel. I would not recommend booking this establishment.

The property has a lot of potential, however, it is understaffed. Rooms do not have phones to contact front desk and there is no staff past 9PM. There was a cockroach in my room, blood stain on the sheets. The remote for the tv did not work and there wasn't any staff available to replace it or to help in any way.

At first I went with the quirks of a "resort" that appears to have been unimproved nor updated in several years. Remotes for the tv and a/c were distributed at check-in with explicit instructions to return them in the same Ziploc bag. The walls in my room were cracked, damaged, and the paint was peeling. The mattress was poor. The mattress cover was ripped. The towels and sheets were stained. The grounds were in poor condition. The fitness center equipment was old. The bar at the pool was never open. The poolside chairs and tables were filthy. The beach cabanas were worthless. The beach lounge seats did not exist. I knew I was in a remote part of Panama, so I made do. However, check-out changed my mindset. I was informed I had stained a pillow case blue and a $7.50 charge had been added to my room. I explained I had not even one blue item in my possession and the stain could not have originated from me. I shared the condition of my room and the stained linens. The resort claimed no knowledge of any needed repairs in any guest room or area. I returned to my room to take pictures. The 4 pillowcases from my room had been removed. When I returned to the desk, I was informed they were charging me for 3 more stained pillowcases. The manager refused to speak to me directly. The person at the desk was also a victim of the manager's scam. I had no option other than to accept the charges. Stay away. Just, stay away.

Not really as advertised, this was probably a very nice place back in it’s time but is in need of updating. Pool bar never did open. No chairs in the beach area. Room looked like it had just been painted from fire damage, but I don’t know that for sure. The bed was very uncomfortable and the bug in it didn’t seem to happy about being kicked out. His friends in the shower were not pleased with us either. The staff was very apologetic and did refund me $25.00. We only stay 1 night of a planed 2 nights. A positive was the breakfast and the morning staff, both were excellent. We have travelled lots in Panama and know bugs are a fact of life here but I draw the line at sharing a bed with them..

Beautiful location, beach is amazing, long lava rock beach that is beautiful to walk on. Very strong undercurrent so not super safe for swimming. Resort rooms are clean and comfortable. Resort only has one pool but calls it three, no loungers out at pool or ocean. Poolside bar is not open, felt very deserted. Staff were great, very attentive, able to support gluten allergy in restaurant.

First bad review I leave in expedia. This place is a mess. No staff. I’ts basically one man show. TV and Wifi didn’t work. They had to change our room. Beakfast is not open before 9am. Toilet stopped working on our second day and it took a while for them to fix. There is no security in the hotel. Basically anyone can drive in ot out. The gate was always empty for our 72hr stay. Complete disaster. Please don’t stay here.

The staff was nice and welcoming. The room and hotel are older but very clean and good hot water with comfortable beds. We enjoyed the pool, sitting on our patio, walking to the beach, listening to the waves. Our dinner was delicious! We are moving to Boquete and definitely will be taking advantage of the day pass or yearly membership so that we can enjoy the premises and have more delicious meals.
