The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort Panama, Autograph Collection

Generic resort. Rooms and food about a 3-4/5; somewhat plain; decent food. Expensive. Friendly staff, nice pools, beautiful beach. Snorkel trip was terrible. Old boat, no ladder to get back on, no reef, no fish. Guide did not speak English. Skip the snorkel! 1 old tennis court on property; other sports area a free golf cart ride away. Relaxing and beautiful grounds, plenty of beach chairs and towels.

Huge Hotel in a large setting, 6 pools, 9 restaurants. Private beach with lifeguards. Breakfast buffet was excellent, food was constantly replaced. Staff were friendly and very helpful. We don't golf, but went there for a few days to relax after a very busy trip. Lots of variety for other meals, which were reasonably priced, and delicious.

We are in heaven, the place, the food, the people, everything is just amazing. Our room is big, cozy, and comfortable, the bed is magnificent, and there are several restaurants with delicious food. Love the pool at "el faro", we can walk to the private beach and back because they are next to each other. Well deserved those 5 stars.

This hotel is a relaxing beach resort about 2 hours from Panama City. There are multiple pools on site. Some adult only pools with swim up bars, which is fun! There is a golf course and tennis/sports center not far from the hotel. The hotel does offer a shuttle service and bikes for free. There is 1 tennis court onsite and sand volleyball court. There are 3 tennis courts at the sports center which offers lessons for a fee. The sports center also has an olympic size lap pool, pickleball courts and gym. I was impressed with the overall experience. No extra fees for beach chairs or cabanas. They are first come first serve but we had no problems getting chairs because the resort is so big and so many pools I never felt is was over crowded. The food at the restaurants were ok. Our room was huge! They upgraded us to a suite! We had a balcony with sitting area and a beautiful view. We had a separate living room, eating table, mini fridge and the bedroom was separated by a door for privacy. Huge bathroom with double sinks and shower that had dual sprayers. The hotel helped with airport transfers. I would definitely come back.

Paradise resort. Loved every minute of it. Hubby loved the golf course while I relaxed at one of the many pools or calm and peaceful beach. Room with gorgeous view was amazing. Service is great. Only thing I would suggest is to have some nightly music and dancing.
