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.

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.

Rooms

The rooms were beautifully furnished and comfortable, offering a nice view over the lagoon. However, I felt a bit claustrophobic in the garden view room on the ground floor.
Service

The resort is located in a serene and exclusive beach area, about 2 hours from Panama City, which made for a peaceful setting but also meant limited access to nearby activities.

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.

Rooms

The rooms are large and spacious with a colonial style, but we noticed a musty smell likely from being closed for too long. It can be noisy in the early mornings, which interrupted our peace. I really appreciated the abundant space in the bathroom area.

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.
