If we had listened to all the negative reviews, we would have never gone but were so glad we did. The resort was beautiful, the room clean and large with a nice ocean view and the meals we had were first rate. We highly recommend this resort for a short wonderful trip.

I visited with My Mother, wife and sisiter and three young teenagers. Parking area was safe, boat ride over was exhilarating but we got a little wet because hotel is on the more exposed side. Agree on the price BEFORE you leave the mainland, or they will try to charge you more per person...which isn't really that much more money,... More

upon arrival we are greeted by a wonderful man who carried our bags to the first room upon checking in. Very friendly chap but we were all surprised to find that our first room had not been cleaned at all... dirty towels laying around, cockroach in the corner,used soap in the dish, and dirty sheets. They transferred us to a... More

Terrible rooms. Sheets stained, was afraid to sleep in them because they smelt so dirty. Food, was okay, but terribly overpriced. Totally overcharged us on our bill at checkout, had to fight with the desk lady for her to take the unecessary charges off. Ocean is beautiful, hammocks are relaxing. Kayaks are available to take out, but the sea was... More

I'm glad I didn't read the reviews of this hotel before staying there. I may have skipped it altogether, and missed a great weekend away from the city. Contrary to what I've read in earlier reviews, the hotel was clean, no bugs (not even a mosquito bite while eating outdoors at night), it was quiet and restful, the pool was... More

Isla Grande is one of my favorite places in this planet. Unfortunately its best appointed hotel is Bananas. I say unfortunately because this hotel is not in the most beautiful and colorful side of the island, in the weekends its crowded, and the service is mediocre (due to understaffing). The hotel rooms are generally clean, but do not expect luxury.... More

We arrived Friday night and we were alone!!! I couldn't imagine alone on a nice resort like this. We had dinner and went to bed. The next day first thing in the morning I went to the bathroom but no water in the toilet? So I dressed up and found a bathroom by the restaurant and surprise NO water. After... More

We spent the afternoon in this hotel, paying $35 per person for lunch and use of the facilities. While the setting is spectacular, the hotel itself is extremely disappointing. The staff were sullen and slow, the sun loungers filthy and the toilets stinking. The place was ridden with flies because leftover food and drink was not cleared away. The pool... More

This is our third trip to Panama--we've traveled most of the country and seen a LOT in a short time. This Isla Grande stay was meant for relaxing, and it delivered. Despite the comments about priciness (we are moderate spenders) and remoteness (we are always on the go), we decided to go ahead with Bananas Village Resort. At first, they... More
