Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious, comfortable rooms with great views and luxurious colonial-style decor. The seafood restaurant boasts an exceptional ocean view. The service was accommodating but had some issues to address. The location is outstanding, set on a secluded beach area with easy access to Panama City. The dining experience was good, especially with fresh fruits. The facilities were well-appointed.
My stay at the hotel was incredible! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully fitted out, making for an amazing experience overall. The food, especially at the seafood restaurant, was superb. However, the garden view room I booked on the ground floor felt a bit claustrophobic, and they were not as close to each other as I was led to believe by our travel agent.
I had an absolutely wonderful room with a great view towards the ocean, despite being near a family with young ones. The hotel can get packed and lose its peaceful vibe when condo owners are around, especially at the Asa' o et Pesca' o. The location, surrounded by large homes in a gated golf resort, offered ample space to explore, though the Panama staff could be more proactive. The dining experience at the 'El Criollo' Restaurant was memorable, even if a bit pricey. The hotel facilities were top-notch.
