    Better Than A Cruise….

    World class, professional service and a world-class location are what sets Dreams Playa Bonita apart. In my thinking, all inclusive resorts are essentially nothing more than landlocked cruise ships (and not good ones…I’m talking annoying Carnival party boats). Even in that regard, Dreams rises above expectations. Yes, the main pool is too loud and no I don’t particularly enjoy going to a lunch buffet to watch women strutting around with their asses hanging out, but beyond that, the quality of the service, the general quality of the food and drinks and the location overlooking the entrance to the Panama’ Canal just can’t be beat. What made this a four, for us, is that (like many Panamanian resorts) the mold and mildew problem in our guest room needs to be better mitigated. Just converting up the smell with bleach and cleaners doesn’t help anyone’s sensitivities or allergies. Claritin and leaving the balcony door opened helped but only just enough to make staying in the room bearable. Thankfully, there is so much to do, you really don’t need to spend that much time in your room. We were there for a wedding and the staff did an outstanding job. Given the quality of the service (and the fact they let us use the quiet pool that is generally reserved for guests who upgrade to Premium), the resort couldn’t have been more accommodating. Though, like I said, it is basically a cruise ships experience. If you visit Panama’ but don’t get out and about and really VISIT Panama’, you really could go to an all inclusive resort near you and have pretty much the same general experience.

    Visit to Panama

    The staff is excellent! They are very friendly specially Orlando, Maritza and Juliana in the cafeteria. The place is clean, the beach is rough.
