Don't be afraid of the negative reviews. The property itself was in great shape for its age and has everything you need. The food, drinks, and service were all good as well. They have a buffet for beakfast in the morning, a buffet and a place with burgers with fries and nachos for lunch, and 3 sit down restaurants for dinner. Also another buffet for dinner as well. They also have 24 hour room service we used a few times as well. The only thing i could say negative about the food is that there was not a huge variety of options at the buffets. They have everything you need though. Always 4 choices of meat, carbs, and vegetables. Our son also enjoyed the fresh fruits and desert bar. The staff were mostly bilingual or broken English. The water is not the Caribbean, so dont expect it to be clear. But we were still able to get in and swim. We even saw a sloth on the property one day! I'd give it closer to a 3.5 star then a 4, but would still recommend. Only a 20 minute or so Uber into the city costing around $10 per way.

Although I wasn’t directly affected in any way,I think they may have staffing issues due to the location of the property. It’s about 30 min outside of the city and that’s not bad, especially for travelers. For the people of the community, it may be difficult to get there (no buses). I do think the seaside grille (by the pool) could have had better options. I travelled with my son (17) and at that age they will eat almost anything. He typically chose to eat rice or go around to the quick stop and grab a burger and fries. My overall experience was positive and would recommend it to others. Oscar, Ayshel, Byron were all remarkable, but again, all of the staff was pleasant and helpful

The resort surprised me with Spectacular views especially of the Island of Taboga and seeing the Ships in line for the Canal...Absolutely Breathtaking...staff was friendly and professional...plenty of things to do on property more importantly just relaxing...I took my cousins and treated them to 2 wonderful nights..my only complaint is I wish we could have stayed longer... if I have a complaint is I felt like the theme restaurants were limited on food choices...we ate at Oceania and expected a extensive seafood menu and were not only disappointed with a few choices...we ordered the fish and it took almost an hour for our food...I still don't know why? Other than this 1 thing I highly recommend this beautiful resort Playa Bonita Veracruz Panama..you won't be Disappointed and they are very accommodating to your needs.

Overall I had a great time and a great experience at this resort. The pros are that we stayed in a deluxe preferred room which gave us access to the preferred pool which was adults only. The service from Eric the bartender was fantastic! And the service from the gentleman at the poolside snack bar Alvaro was phenomenal.

We had an excellent experience. Our kids are 10 and 12 and we felt very safe letting them go to different areas of the resort without us. We were there at an off season but had the most amazing time. Every room has an amazing view! Uber pickup and drop off was easy and safe. I would definitely stay at this or another of their resorts on our next trip!

We booked the “Deluxe” King Suite thinking it would be a nice room … maybe don’t book the Deluxe … The room was mildewed and the smell even came home with us. Outside of the STRONG mildew smell in the room (mildew was visible in the corner of the bathroom poorly covered with paint) everything else was great, the initial check-in, the staff, the entertainment team, the pool and beach area — they were all amazing. It’s just a bummer how it smelled so bad of mildew - I literally said to my partner everytime we went to the room it was a strong mildew smell… the first day I even felt a little sick and had headaches majority of my time there which could have been caused by the strong smell. I didn’t get good pictures but still captured some of it nonetheless.
