This resort is perfect if you like a quiet, relaxing experience. The staff is friendly and pleasant and they worked hard to correct the mix up on our room. The dining was very nice. The buffet features Panamanian barb que which was very good. Room service was a big plus as well! The resort is in the jungle so wildlife is plentiful. The jungle tour is a must do! Finally the view from the beach is beautiful! You can see the shops lining up to go through the Panama Canal! Seashells are everywhere! The water is very nice but be careful of the undercurrent. It pulls the sand out from under your feet very quickly.

This was worth every penny. I have to admit, the cost makes this a great deal. The property could use a facelift. The dining options could be more diverse and adventurous. The service was very good. The room was nice. Staff was friendly and attentive. For what I paid, this was a great place. Most everything was included in the cost. There are premium options, but they aren't necessary to enjoy the stay. Pools were very nice. The beach was close and lovely. If you are driving, do not trust Google Maps to get you here. Ask it to find Veracruz then, when you are close, ask directions to the hotel.

The staff were very nice. However, the food was mediocre at best. The preferred area drinks and snacks were much better if you choose that option but the wait times for the restaurants and food once you were inside were a little long for what you received. (Oceana was closed the entire time due to a private event.) Also, DO NOT pay for TAXI2TAXI private sedan service because it will not be private!! We paid for private service, and we had someone in the van going and the same person on the return trip to the airport plus two more people who almost made us miss our flight. Not sure why Expedia would endorse such a service that is obviously falsifying what they provide to customers. Save your money and pay for an Uber!! It will be PRIVATE, cheaper and on time!!

Grounds were beautiful! No complaints, just my thoughts...food was good but lacked selection and variety. Staff were helpful however the bartenders did not seem as upbeat and friendly as other resorts we have visited. Entertainment in the evening was lacking, not enough places with music and/or dancing until 11pm. Overall the property was very nice, just needs updating. I am guessing COVID hit this resort hard.

Through your app we booked at the Dreams Playa Bonita hotel in Panama, Panama, from December 30 to January 3, we were guided by the fact that your app says it is a 4-star hotel, which would qualify it as a 2-star hotel. Below I detail the drawbacks: The room needs maintenance, curtains are very dirty and stained. The metal door to the entrance is completely destroyed. The safe does not work, the shower is dirty, the counter is totally unclean, the ceiling has insect blood stains. The telephone has no service. 2. The supposed French restaurant Bordeaux had no availability. They told us that reservations were not accepted. When we went, they told us that they already had 30 people on the waiting list and without standing in line, and it looked empty. The food is not fresh at all. They say that the beach is spectacular. It is really very rocky. We had to leave the hotel on the 2nd due to the atmosphere and rotten smell of the room. The sheets and towels were too old. I am attaching photos.

Pros: The staff is very nice. The massage was good but overpriced. Cons: I have stayed at many resorts. This was by far the absolute worse. Most resorts provide entertainment. They had bingo, a movie and Monday night football. There were absolutely no shows. They encourage you to use the app for Hyatt, but little to no entertainment display on the app. The food had limited options and absolutely no flavor. The market cafe was tolerable for breakfast. This is the only all inclusive resort where we went off the property to go eat. The resturants say no reservations, only to find out they put your name on a list. Excuse me, that is a reservation. They have a seafood restaurant with very little seafood. The main bar in the lobby had a limited selection of cheap alcohol. This is the bar that everyone passes. Not to mention, there was only one bartender. Most of the time, they didn't have anything to make the drinks they listed as options. Plan to wait for a drink of any kind. This resort is tatered and dingy. The sheets, towels and washcloth are thin and stained. They are ready to be used to wash the car. The curtains have holes and the bathroom in 128 has mold around the shower.. The couch in 128 came with a lot of stains. Room 140 air does not cool the room. Do not waste your money.
