The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort Panama, Autograph Collection

The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort has a lot going for it, with a gorgeous setting, stunning grounds, and excellent facilities for a relaxing getaway. The property is beautifully landscaped, with lush gardens, inviting pools, and access to a lovely beach. Rooms and Grounds: The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, offering comfort and nice amenities. I especially enjoyed the balcony, which provided beautiful views. The resort’s layout is also impressive, with plenty of places to relax and enjoy the scenery. Dining: The restaurants offer a good selection of food, with something for everyone’s taste. I usually enjoy the breakfast buffet, which has a wide range of options, this time though it was closed and breakfast was far from ideal, happening in the Jpanese restaurant. The service at the restaurants was attentive and friendly, making dining a pleasant experience though. Spa: Unfortunately, the spa experience was a bit underwhelming. While the spa facilities were nice enough, the service itself didn’t meet the high standards I expected. The treatments felt somewhat rushed, and the overall ambiance lacked the tranquility I’d hoped for in a resort spa. It wasn’t terrible by any means, but it didn’t provide the relaxing, rejuvenating experience that I’d anticipated. Overall, The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort is a beautiful property with a lot to offer. While the spa could use some improvements to match the high quality of the rest of the resort, it’s still a great place to unwind and enjoy a tropical escape. Rating: 3.5/5

Loved it. But stating just that makes little sense for the reader and certainly does not qualify as a review. This place is a little paradise in so many ways. The hotel itself is in perfect shape - rarely seen a resort in a tropical climate kept that well. We used our SNAs and got a Buenaventura Suite overlooking the resort with its ponds and pools from the 3rd floor (top floor) - very nice view indeed and you could see the ocean on the horizon. The suite itself was very spacious and extended onto a nice size balcony in one of the two rooms. Very nice and spacious bathroom including jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower and two wash basins. Bedding - great quality. Appliances all worked. WLAN signal strong and relialbe most of the time. The the soft factors: very professional housekeeping - they defently outperform many of their peers. Breakfast: besides the great quality of produce, very attentive staff that also kept our outside table reserved as of our 2nd day (out of 8). Always friendly, always efficient. Pool bar: good team as well - all of them and every day. The Tai Kai - on-site Japanese restaurant - probably the best Teppanyaki experience outside of Japan we ever had. Pool and pool deck - well maintained and regularly cleaned by staff (several times per day). Reception: effective and friendly even when havign to deal with our room not being ready for check-in yet at 3pm - offered a drink at the bar and the customer is happy. About the surroundings: we rented a car (in Panama City and also drove there) and used it to go for a dinner a few times and did some shopping as we wanted to take home some local specialities. Whislt the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle within the premise (that we did not use), I would recommend a small rental car to simply be flexible and explore a bit more than just the Buenventura gated premise. Also, last but not least, great that the warm water problem was fixed swiftly after two days of cold and sometimes luke-warm water only. We plan on returning for another week of beach vacation sometimes next year.

The property is great. The design blends Spanish Architecture and nature. The service was amazing. Everyone ensured that we were comfortable. There was initially a problem with our first room, but Daniel apologized profusely and upgraded our room! I shared with folks that I discussed this trip with, that, this is how a resort should handle issues. I'm looking forward to staying here again when I return to the area later this year.

Great service,good and personal attention, special Mr Daniel Bernal at the reception. Room always clean , good food. For low season the buffet was ok, could have more choises. Thankyou for helping us to have a greatful stay everytime. We hope visiting you soon
