10/10 Excellent

I have stayed at some of the best resorts in the world. I must say that The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort Panama deserves to be in this category. The staff were so kind and helpful all of the time. The resort is beautiful and the food was excellent.
James, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is gorgeous, great customer service. Great food, overall very clean, nut the hotel can do more maintenance in all the pool areas. My main problem and the reason why I wouldn't go back is the amount of humidity in the room we got is overwhelming hard to breathe they should had a dehumidifier is brutal.

Alejandro, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What an AMAZING oasis! From the moment we walked in, Arnold at the desk warmed our souls with his radiant smile and very personable demeanor. Ivan in the bar/lounge was just as gracious and poured us several great cocktails. We had a blast with Luis who drove us to a nearby restaurant on the resort property. His English was wonderful, and his stories were welcomed. EVERYONE at the facility was warm and greeted us with smiles. Our room was clean, the views spectacular, and the prices fair. If we ever make it back to Panama, we'll DEFINITELY visit again.

Amazing beachfront property with many pools and excellent services. We liked the place so much that we stayed an extra night! Excellent and experienced staff, good restaurants and very clean. Will certainly go back
Luc, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

My daughter and I spent three nights here in Feb. We absolutely loved it! The grounds, pools, and beach are beautiful. We loved the Japanese restaurant - and the store on site has a TON of food options. During our stay, we were able to use the cute bicycles to ride around - and we took a van to the Buena entura Zoo too. If we stayed an extra day, we would have done an adventure -type activities (lots of options for fun things to do!).To get to the hotel, we took an Uber from Panama City and the hotel helped us arrange transport to the airport. All very easy. I highly recommend this gem and can't wait to return someday.

Michel, 3-night trip

The grounds around the hotel are stunning, golf course, zoo, big villas. The room was very clean. the staff were very helpful and pleasant. But the facilities, especially the pools are in extreme need of repairs. Half the tiles were coming off or crumbled. The towels at the pool are extremely small. I had the worst tasting pina colada at the pool. All that said I would stay again, but I wouldn't give it 5 star.
