Perfect room size, amazing service, super friendly staff. Facilities are great, restauran is very romantic and food was delicious. We had a wonderful time and will come back
This pace was the best choice after we eft the RIU. Spotless, friendly, fantastic meals and a wonderful beach made our few days of rest and relaxation top notch.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. The staff was incredible, and the food was amazing. The room was spacious and well equipped, but it just needs some TLC. Bathrooms are outdated, as is the pool. However, overall, it was a great experience.
We booked a suite at this beautiful hotel as a couple, hoping to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible due to a neighboring room occupied by a family with several children and a barking dog. We reported the issue that night, but by checkout the next morning, there was no record of our complaint. I ended up waiting nearly an hour while multiple staff members tried to address the situation. For a reputable establishment, I expected more acknowledgment and consideration for the disruption we experienced.
Our experience at Beunaventura was nothing short of amazing. The property is so beautiful, it’s basically a botanical garden. Everything is meticulously taken care of. The property is massive with unparalleled beauty at every corner. The staff is attentive and discrete. They seem always available and attentive to your needs. People greeted me by name. The pools are incredible. The beach is awesome. I just can’t say enough great things about this place and we look forward to coming back!
Awesome facility, clean and neat. Well laid out, beautiful pools and landscaping. Very nice beaches private with lifeguards. Only down graded on condition because our shower door seal leaked, once reported maintenance kind of fixed it. But staff was super responsive. Oh, but don't drink the water.
Amazing beachfront property with many pools and excellent services. We liked the place so much that we stayed an extra night! Excellent and experienced staff, good restaurants and very clean.
Will certainly go back
Such a peaceful and beautiful place and a nice contrast to the hustle and bustle of Panama City. The golf course is gorgeous and the hotel is welcoming. Our room was quiet and comfortable. The shuttle service is really nice to get around the huge resort.
Hotel is located in a large resort community, access to beach, multiple swimming areas, golf courts, bike paths, sports club. Good services offered around hotel and in central square (spa, exercise area, restaurants, deli market). Guest rooms were clean with nice design, good finishings and balcony area for views.
Adored the staff. They were all extremely friendly and helpful, especially Daniel. The food was delicious. Pools nice and specious. Rooms are beautiful. The entire family had an amazing time.
The employees in all areas of the hotel (reception, restaurants, pools, beach, cleaning staff, drivers) are very nice and make sure that you feel comfortable and happy in their premises. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. We had a beautiful time during our stay. This is a place to go back.
What an AMAZING oasis!
From the moment we walked in, Arnold at the desk warmed our souls with his radiant smile and very personable demeanor.
Ivan in the bar/lounge was just as gracious and poured us several great cocktails.
We had a blast with Luis who drove us to a nearby restaurant on the resort property. His English was wonderful, and his stories were welcomed.
EVERYONE at the facility was warm and greeted us with smiles.
Our room was clean, the views spectacular, and the prices fair.
If we ever make it back to Panama, we'll DEFINITELY visit again.
