The property is beautiful and our kids loved their time in the many pools - as well as in the ocean! My one minor complaint is that the shower leaked out the bottom of the door - otherwise, everything was great!

Wonderful property clean, well serviced, plenty of choice for food including a small market on site. The staff were friendly, service was steady weather at the pool, lounge or restaurants. Overall a great stay, golf was a 5 minute shuttle away and the conditions were great. The property seemed to be around half capacity at a maximum, never an issue for dinner times, chairs by the pool etc.

Absolutely stunning property with great staff and service. Exceptionally clean, great rooms, heavenly beds, great food/restaurants, beautiful beach and pool area. The shuttle service is very helpful for the massive property. Didn't get to golf this trip but the course is in great condition as well. The place is dead after 9pm, which wasn't an issue for us but could be to some people who are looking for some sort of nightlife/bars. If possible fly into the new airport to avoid the 2 hour drive from Tocumen (new airport is 15 mins away) but not a big issue either way. Will absolutely be visiting again!

The first room they gave us was dirty and had a dead roach on the floor. Also didn’t have hot water. The second room was cleaner but still water was not hot and room had very poor lighting. Shower head has to be replaced as it splashes everywhere except directly down. Pool areas were nice.
