It is a smaller resort so every part of the resort is accessible by foot. Very family oriented. They had activities for kids and adults at different times throughout the day. The buffet had enough variety to provide something for everyone and not too much that food was just sitting there.

My family has visited a lot of all inclusive resorts and this is one of our favorites! The food is delicious (we prefer the buffet and didn’t try the restaurants). The pools are lovely and the water slides are so so fun. I have a 12 and 14 year old who were so happy and entertained. The ocean is perfect for swimming and playing in (small) waves. Their beach is very clean with soft sand and the pool games were a blast. Our room was very clean, classy and a fantastic ocean view. I wish there was coffee in the rooms or available earlier, but that rang true for every place we stayed in Panama. The resort has lifeguards on duty at the pools and at the beach who are very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend and we will definitely return

DO NOT STAY HERE — THEY STOLE MY RINGS AND DIDN’T CARE! I had the absolute worst experience at this resort. On the day of checkout, I took a quick shower and rushed out of my room, accidentally leaving my engagement ring and wedding ring behind. As soon as I realized, I immediately tried to contact the resort, hoping they could help me locate my rings. Getting in touch with them was a nightmare. They did not have a working toll-free number, and the number listed on their website did not work. I had to email them, and it took them days to respond. I finally had to ask a friend from Panama to call them from a local number, and that’s the only way I was able to get through to them. Even then, their response was cold and dismissive. They claimed my rings were not found and showed zero interest in looking into it or helping me. It’s clear that someone on their staff stole my rings, and the resort did absolutely nothing to investigate or assist me. No sympathy, no concern, just a flat-out “we don’t have them” attitude. I am devastated. My priceless, sentimental rings are gone forever, and this resort did not care one bit. If you value your belongings or expect basic human decency, DO NOT STAY HERE. They are unprofessional, unhelpful, and apparently have dishonest staff. Worst experience of my life.
