"Was good for what we needed"

"Food is amazing, I especially loved the gluten and lactose free options! Chef's and staff there are world class. The views are breathtaking! The grounds are so nicely taken care of and such an amazing theme and variety of tropical plants! A few cautions that may be helpful to some travelers who have limited mobility. There's a lot of stairs or ramps to get down to the pool area. I don't believe there's traditional AC, the rooms seem to have a built in swamp cooler and a separate floor dehumidifier. There's no surprise that it's a humid climate, but I was still a little taken back at just how much water the dehumidifier pulled out of the air. Probably 3-4 gallons per day. The issue is the by product of a dehumidifier running is it produces heat which in turn negates some of the cooling ability of the swamp cooler. On average the room would be in the 19-21 Celsius range. So if you're used to colder conditions etc, you may not be as comfortable. But, the contrast from outside to inside of the room makes a big difference and you are able to cool down. In my opinion the resort should upgrade to mini-split AC units for each room. And also vent the hot air output of the de-humidifiers outside. Overall a lifetime experience there and I wouldn't let the AC stop someone from going, just don't expect western hotel or home like AC."

"Home away from home. The staff always try to make us comfortable. There's one particular staff member she is super great. Next time I will get her name. We always stay there at least 4 times year round."

"It looks pretty from the outside but it’s all superficial. The rooms are typical basic Latam rooms. There were only two outlets in the room and none near the beds. "

"Very limited - only had 1 bath towel and no hand towel or wash cloth? Not real clean and a few bugs. Staff did not speak English so that was a challenge. Location did make it easy to walk to stuff. Ok for price"

"Playas excpectaculares. Lugar Maravilloso para descansar"

"Nice pool excellent host ver good for the price highly recommend"

"Es un lugar apto para descansar, aseado y cómodo, mi familia desayuno en el restaurante del hotel y estaba muy bueno todo!"

"Credit Card was skimmed at the Marina Hotel/restaurant. Only used this particular card in one place during my days in Panama...at check-in, and to pay for a pizza at the restaurant. Had unauthorized charges less than 3 hours later."
