Isolated and beautiful far and close enough to everywhere, if you are an ambassador, I hope you get the upgrade to the 1500 square feet suite Enjoy it

We had just come from a 3 night stay at the Gamoba Rainforest Resort where the service was outstanding, so the service here was a huge let down, in comparison. The resort was very sleepy while we were visiting, service was just okay, at best. Pros: Great buffet breakfast (which was included in our rate), but you always had to... More

I went to Playa bonita intercontinental hotel last year. The room was great and the hotel grounds very beautiful. On the day of my departure I left my pearls on the bed ! I called the hotel when I got back home and realized I didn't have them. Initially they told me they were not in the lost and found... More

In everybody's life, there has to be a Playa Bonita Resort, a pretty luxurious experience. From the first day, I asked myself how I was supposed to go back to work after a few days of sitting around one of these gorgeous pools. Like most of the upscale properties in Panama, the Playa Bonita Resort is gated and off limits... More

We brought 52 people to Playa Bonita for our wedding and it was a fantastic time. We stayed for a week with an all-inclusive plan and truly enjoyed the property. We stayed from March 29 - April 7th and the weather held out for us. Hot and sunny with occasional afternoon showers. We had one total rain day, but we... More

Gorgeous grounds, buildings & fabulous service. Great food!! Conceirge "Sugey Sousa" was outstanding!! She gave us incredible suggestions & made SURE we enjoyed by speaking... More

Wow! I would go back in a minute. The beach was beautiful and a shell lovers paridise. Four beautiful outdoor pools with 2 fully stocked bars made it hard to leave. But the best feature had to be the 19th floor and its personel. What a unbelieveably beautiful view to enjoy a drink with friends either inside or out with... More

A wonderful week at a lovely resort in a country of contrasts. Our week in Panama was April 9-16, 2012. The weather was fabulous and very hot, with only one afternoon of light showers. The InterContinental Playa Bonita is approximately thirty minutes from the airport and is a clean, well-maintained resort. The grounds and gardens were absolutely beautiful and were... More

This hotel met our expectations, it was clean, well appointed, and located on the beach with a beautiful view of the ocean and the boats lining up to enter the Panama Canal. The difference between high and low tide equaled beach or no beach but the pools more than made up for it. the adults only relaxation pool is a... More

This was our first visit to Panama. The hotel and rooms were great! The staff - friendly and very helpful. We had been warned about the bugs; however we did not find them to be as horrible as the reports led us to believe. The hotel provides bug repellant packets which we never used. The shining star of the vacation... More
