Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a beautiful oasis located about two hours from Panama City, featuring stunning grounds and comfortable amenities. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, but we found our initial garden view room a bit claustrophobic. The service was generally good, though crowded weekends can detract from the overall experience. Dining options are plentiful with a superb breakfast, but handling high season can prove challenging due to overcrowding.
This resort is a beautiful gem with stunning views and a luxurious atmosphere. The beach access and spacious pools are highlights of the stay. The dining options are exceptional, especially the Japanese restaurant, though some amenities could use improvement. Overall, it's a tranquil place that feels upscale yet comfortable.
My stay at the resort was a mix of beautiful premises but lacking in nearby activities. The room was lovely but coming from a luxury travel background, I expected better service. The location, while idyllic, was also quite remote, making it hard to enjoy local dining options. Dining choices were limited, and the food quality didn't match the price value. Potential for improvement is definitely there but as it stands, it felt more like a serene getaway than a well-rounded vacation spot.
The Buenaventura Resort is a beautiful location that offers a fantastic combination of relaxation and luxury, nestled in a pristine estate with a gorgeous golf course. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but had some issues with noise and cleanliness. While the service was friendly and attentive, some areas showed a lack of maintenance. The dining experience at breakfast was excellent with a variety of options. Overall, the location is outstanding, right on the Pacific Ocean, making it a convenient getaway.
The resort has a beautiful and tranquil setting with stunning landscaping, making it an appealing getaway. However, it still needs to enhance its customer service to reach its potential as a luxury venue. Dining options are solid, but the beach area is quite small and lacks amenities. Overall, with a bit more attention to detail and service, it could be a fantastic spot.
