Bijao con Evenia

Personal restaurante y el personal de salvavidas en la piscina fue fantastico. Las habitaciones fueron renovadas. Areas verdes muy bellas. Instalaciones en comun pueden mejorar. Lo no tan bueno: cambiar el lugar de la discoteca fue mala idea, Nos dijeron que no se podia reservar ennla cena y en la noche vimos los Olivos con gente y espacios.

Location, activities, specially for kids, water slides and other activities. Needs improvement at the snack bar by the main swimming poolside but it was tolerable. Noisy the first night but improved by the second night and after I approach the front desk and informed them. The rest of our stay was fantastic.

This resort was quite good. It was not crowded and it was compact. I definitely will visit again. Only wish the swimming pools had more shadow areas since the sun in Panama is very strong. Food was tasty and the menu rotated everyday. The nightly shows were kind of cheesy (except by the young singer from Ecuador who had a pretty voice).
