As a platinum member we were treated to a very nice suite. It was a special anniversary and we were treated to a bottle of wine as well. We ate dinner at Tierra y Fuego, they took very good care of us and the food was fantastic. The breakfast buffet was only average. There were far too many gnats in... More

I stayed here for a conference (I think they have about 5 a week!) and thought it was excellent value, great rooms with fantastic views. Food was great, service was generally good. The beach is only good for walking on but the pools are excellent, particularly if - like me - you like to get a proper swim in, as... More

I've stayed here a few times now and everytime I am superbly impressed. The hotel is brand new and impressive, and the lobby is really cool. The pools and spa are the nicest I've seen in Latin America, and I love the pool volleyball court. The spa is surprisingly affordable for a full service resort like this- I highly recommend... More

As we walked into the enormous atrium to check-in, we looked through the inviting floor to ceiling windows to see the lovely Pacific Ocean smiling at us just beyond a muddy, rock-filled, and pitiful excuse for a shore line. My first impression: "They've got to be kidding!" I can be prone to sarcasm in casual conversation, but never in a... More

Our first time at the Westin resort as a family of 4. So far the best kids club here is Panama and we've been to several resorts on the pacific side. The service was also much better than other resorts. We had an all-inclusive plan and it was worth it! Great breakfast, a great variety to choose from. Lunch and... More

Spent three days here and food and service were great; you will however be a good halfhour away from town and its entertainments. Also be advised that although the grounds and pools are quite pretty there is no real beach; at low tide its just muck and rocks

We loved this resort and had such a wonderful time! The buffet breakfast is worth booking with your room package. There were lots of restaurant options and we enjoyed all of them. The spa was wonderful, so do take advantage of it! The gym was great and no other guests seem to use it. The beach isn't great for swimming,... More

The hotel sits on a wonderful piece of land and right on the beach with a great vie on the Pacific and the many ships queuing up before passing the Panama Canal. Just to watch the seabirds diving into the water to catch their daily rations of fish is fascinating! The service is improving, yet not quite there, let's be... More
