Well, the hotel needs to work on a better maintenance, the wall paper on the bathrooms is falling, there is rust every where on the building, lots of old furniture thrown behind the building. And the show at night is very poor, almost a waste.
On a good note, food was wxcellent, the slides are good and hopefully they are planning to add some more.
All and all a good experience, but needs a little tighting up to make it a better experience.

Definitely not a 5 star
So my wife and I were there from Mar. 14 till the 21st. If you are looking for that 5 star experience you won't get it here. We arrived at approx 11am. Check in was OK but with definite language barrier which is the theme throughout this resort. Very few broken English speaking staff. Check in is 3pm or earlier with $35US per guest. If rooms are ready for guest, they let them in.
Room was ocean view above the court yard and pools. This resulted in a very noisy room until entertainment ended at 10pm but then guests feel ok to linger until early morning hours blaring their own music and yelling and carrying on unchecked by staff.
Food is sub par. Very rare to experience a hot meal, especially at the buffets and the BBQ food court. Buffet is frequented by birds sneaking through the netting. Witnessed them stealing food from tables, bird poop on chairs and floors. Staff spends more time chasing them than their own jobs.
"Best" food was Los Olivos, the Mediterranean a'la carte. Issue there is food is extremely salty and some was very dry.
Our room was never very clean. Shower did not drain even after we filed 2 reports with the front desk. Floors not mopped clean and we had to call front desk or flag down the cleaning staff to get towels, wash clothes etc..
Overall resort is in need of major repairs.
Rules are also not enforced. Kids running rampant with no parental supervision. Use of portable speakers prohibited, but noted through out. Insufficient quantity of deck chairs and what they have are dirty or torn seat material.
The positives are the beach is unbelievable, safe and clean. Best bar is the 24 hour sports bar on main level and the Iguanas are spectacular if left alone.
Also they are hours from main attractions which will cost hundreds in transportation to get there and back which can be about 4 hours of your day in travel.
Most bar staff have no clue how to make simple drinks.

Excellent gastronomy
Excellent gastronomy, very friendly staff; however, maintenance in the rooms can improve, mainly in the bathroom where there are many moldy areas.
Many congratulations to the chef as I consider he is doing an excellent job

Our Jan 24-31 visit
This hotel is great during the week but gets totally packed on weekends with all the families getting out of Panama City on weekends. The Sushi Restaurant put on a great show and is recommended. The draft beer is all Balboa which is heavier. I prefer Panama Lite myself. The buffet was good, they had roast turkey one night and always some kind of seafood. Breakfast omelettes were tasty. Our room was great inside. We had the delux ocean view end unit in building 3, 3616 and we had the Juliet balcony overlooking the pool and a larger balcony we could sit at. Never went to the swim up bar because it looked like some folks never left all day and the kids and loud music were not what we liked. The beach is a mixture of fine gray and black sand. Not like Cay Coco. The ocean water temperature is so nice and warm that you don’t even shiver going in. We did some offsite dining at Pipa’s and Nico’s that we really liked. This is a small resort when compared to the DeCameron.

Pros: All inclusive so one less thing to worry about. Air conditioning worked well. The stray dogs and cats on the property added a unique experience. Beach was nice with tons of seashells.
Cons: Nothing peaceful about this resort. Pool side DJ blasting 90’s hits. Think YMCA mixed with a rave vibe. Drunk dads at the swim up bar. Nightly shows on the outdoor stage ended at 10pm. Even if you were not interested in joining you still felt like they were in your room. You can hear every word of every person walking through the halls and in neighboring rooms. Bring a sound machine/ear plugs if you want to fall asleep before 11pm. Plan on eating the same thing almost everyday unless you are very lucky and score a reservation at one of the 3 restaurants. You must wait in a line at 10am to try to get a reservation. We tried daily but nothing was available. The buffet was outside but enclosed with netting. HOT! Get to the buffet early for the fresh food. By the end of the service all cold food was hot and wilted. The gym is only available for 16+ even with a parent. Our 14 year olds who are both in training for sports were not allowed to work out with us.
We made the best of it and took some local trips and overall had a great time in Panama but the resort however was disappointing overall.
