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.

“Beautiful quiet resort”

Quaint family resort on a beautiful beach. Resort is clean and modern. Most of the rooms do not have balconies. There is a selection of rooms that do, and the upgrade isn't too pricey.

Quaint family resort on a beautiful beach. Resort is clean and modern. Most of the rooms do not have balconies. There is a selection of rooms that do, and the upgrade isn't too pricey. Rooms are nice and roomy and it was made up nicely every day. I visited the spa for a massage. It was reasonable priced and good service. Restaurants are good. There is no reservation system. You need to line up in the morning at the reservation desk. They will take reservations until the restaurants are full. Buffet is smaller but good. Nice selection for all meals. There is a snack bar at the pool with hamburgers and hotdogs, nachos and fries. The coffee shop in the 24/hour bar is fantastic. Beverages are good - there is a decent selection. Not a huge selection of fancy cocktails, but bartenders are fast and efficient. The pools are clean. We did not try the waterslides, however they were always busy with a lifeguard on duty. As per usual, people reserve their chairs, even though it is discouraged. We would just take a chair and if they showed up we would move. The evening entertainment lacks. There is no nightlife at the resort. It is very quiet. The beach is definitely a highlight. You can walk for miles. It is clean and soft sand. There isn't too many beach chairs on this beach, but the sand is so soft we sat on a towel. This is the only resort on the beach. Wifi worked well.
