Pros:

Dos aspectos que me generaron cierta insatisfacción fueron:

1. La ausencia de servicio de valet parking, lo cual considero inadecuado considerando el costo de la estancia.
2. La falta de gavetas en las habitaciones y la limitación de perchas en el clóset, con solo cinco, lo cual resultó insuficiente para cuatro personas.

Sin embargo, me gustaría destacar que el resto de los aspectos me parecieron muy positivos. Tanto los restaurantes como la experiencia en general fueron muy agradables.

Pros:

I arrived at 2:00 pm, the people at the reception to check in gave me a service number and I explained to them that I was going to check in online with the link that Expedia sent me an email, they didn't care about this, I still had to wait, they started serving at 2:40 pm even though I arrived at 2:00 pm, so I entered the facilities at 3:35 pm due to the delay in their service, I lost 35 minutes This bad attention has to improve this. Even though I arrived an hour early, I did not enter the hotel at 3:00 pm.

Bijao con Evenia
Pros:

Personal restaurante y el personal de salvavidas en la piscina fue fantastico. Las habitaciones fueron renovadas. Areas verdes muy bellas. Instalaciones en comun pueden mejorar. Lo no tan bueno: cambiar el lugar de la discoteca fue mala idea, Nos dijeron que no se podia reservar ennla cena y en la noche vimos los Olivos con gente y espacios.

I did not like the fact that the swimming pool and beach closes at 6pm. The adult's show was poor. The hotel was ok.

Pros:

Location, activities, specially for kids, water slides and other activities. Needs improvement at the snack bar by the main swimming poolside but it was tolerable. Noisy the first night but improved by the second night and after I approach the front desk and informed them. The rest of our stay was fantastic.

Pros:

This resort was quite good. It was not crowded and it was compact. I definitely will visit again. Only wish the swimming pools had more shadow areas since the sun in Panama is very strong. Food was tasty and the menu rotated everyday. The nightly shows were kind of cheesy (except by the young singer from Ecuador who had a pretty voice).

The resort was awesome. Loved that the beach was next to it and the food tasted very good. The rooms were clean and spacious. They gave me an extra cot for my child since we are a family of 5. I was very pleased with the service that was offered along with the amenities.
