Jul 07, 2025Average resort-great entertainment staff!
The resort was very average. The one shout out I will give is to the entertainment team! Gabino and Alfonso were rockstars!!!! They were so fun and accommodating. Watching Gabino dance with a little boy trying to salsa dance and Alfonso always taking request from a 10ish year old! They were great. Alfonso had me laughing when we did the cocktail making class! So fun! And they were fun to talk to and so appreciative that we were there! They made a rather average resort stand out and helped us have a good time. THANKS GUYS!!!!

Would not recommend
We spent three nights at Dreams Playa Bonita and must admit that it was a complete letdown. The buffet food selection outside of breakfast was mediocre at best, with very limited options like two different meats, one soup, and rice for most meals. If you're looking for an excellent Panamanian buffet this place is not it. Despite the resort’s claim to be kid-friendly, we were denied participation in any of the kids’ activities, even though we wanted to stay and attend to our child instead of having staff watch her. Additionally, I suspect the front desk workers operate on a commission system, which made us feel constantly harassed as we walked through the lobby. Often, scheduled events either started late or didn’t happen at all without any explanation. The only positive aspect of our stay was the room quality and the resorts walkability. We chose this resort based on positive reviews, even though it was pricier than the others we had researched. However, we wouldn’t stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it to friends or family. It was a significant disappointment and not worth the money spent
