Luxury is the word!!! The resort is clean, spacious, and has many options. The main ingredient of this resort is the staff. All of them make you feel like your the only one in the hotel. They make you feel like you are family. They know your needs before you do. The resort is beautiful, The golf coarse is nice and they were working on it while we were there. the pool area is just amazingly pretty and relaxing, The Bartenders are the best. Lets not forget the room service. They were just impeccable checking in on you a couple times a day, bringing you water and chocolates each night. I just cant say enough good things about this resort and its staff. Whenever I am in Panama this is where I will be staying.

Our stay at The Santa Maria Hotel in Panama City was nothing short of spectacular! This five-star luxury hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the well-trained, kind, and professional staff catered to our every need, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. The room features were excellent—comfortable, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The dining options were exceptional, offering a variety of delicious choices, and the spa was absolutely stunning—a perfect place to unwind. The expansive outdoor pool with a poolside restaurant and DJ created a lively yet sophisticated atmosphere. One of the highlights was having access to the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course—a golfer’s dream! The course was well-manicured and impeccably managed, making for an unforgettable experience. Overall, The Santa Maria Hotel is truly a gem in Panama City. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely return! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway.

Santa Maria is a wonderful hotel and great staff. The only problem I had was when the AC came on at night I felt that there was a plane flying overhead. Also in my room the balcony door didn’t lock. Having said the above I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

A very classy and chic Hotel that exceeded my expectations. The customer service and customer care are exceptional. Andrea, who works at the front desk, was so helpful and accommodating to us. The rooms are bright, big and very clean. Lobby area is very nicely decorated. Breakfast was amazing, there was nothing you could not find there.
