All-inclusive when available 😡
The beds were comfortable. The food was the worse I ever had at any all-inclusive. My roommate got sick from eating a hamburger. Room service and housekeeping were hard to reach because the phone didn't work properly. It took forever to get room service or to have the mini bar replenished which was only water beer and soda.

Jul 01, 2025It was ok, could use a few changes!
We stayed at Dreams Playa Bonita Panama for my birthday in June 2025. During this stay we experienced an excellent staff and clean/well manicured (although a little outdated) resort. Unfortunately, this is where my best experiences stopped. The food at the buffet was not good, with very minimal options. I typically can eat just about anything, but there times when we found it difficult to find something that wasn't stale or scrambled eggs that didn't include cracked shells in them. I will admit that I did have a few meals at the other restaurants on site that were OK or pretty decent. But the breakfast selection once again was not up to par. The other issue was with the other vacationers. This of course is no fault of the hotel itself, but we were bombarded with a younger crowd of 20 somethings who were too rowdy and drunk for us the whole stay. We stayed away from most of this, but it was still pretty evident that the hotel's cheaper cost options allowed for a younger more annoying crowd. If you're looking for a quieter scene for families with young kids, maybe try a different place or hopefully this isn't the norm. All in all, the hotel was a decent stay, but we plan on staying elsewhere the next time we visit Panama as it is a beautiful country, with very inviting people and amazing sites to see.

Jul 01, 2025Lovely Experience
I just had the most amazing spa experience, and I have to give all the credit to Luz! From the moment the massage started, I felt completely at ease. Her hands are truly magical — she knew exactly where to focus, and her technique was both soothing and therapeutic. Luz created such a calm and peaceful environment that I could feel the stress melt away. She was kind, professional, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. It was honestly one of the best massages I’ve ever had. If you’re visiting the spa, I highly recommend requesting Luz. You won’t regret it — she’s a gem!
