It was holiday time - and we were looking to spend our familiy holidays in Panama this year. As the weather was not stable, we were looking for a hotel at the beach and close to the city as well - in case of rainy days. Normally, Tripadvisor is a very helpful site and gives a good idea about "what... More

My husband and I stayed at this resort for my 50th birthday. We did not choose the all-inclusive option. Our room was very nice and clean. We had a lovely view of the ocean. Every single employee we encountered was friendly. The concierge sent chocolate dipped strawberries to our room for my birthday. She booked our trip to the canal... More

We checked in to two rooms, we requested close to the lobby the staff refused and gave us two of the furthest rooms in the hotel. One had no hot water, we called down 8 or 9 times and were given every excuse in the book as to why it was taking to long to come up and look at... More

We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to whom enjoys a relaxe, well manicuerd Gardens and exceptional views from the rooms. Not for beach lovers and finicky people who demand perfection. Our best vacation in a long time, came back well rested More

This was the most disappointing resort experience we have ever had. There was nothing about this resort that made our trip enjoyable. We were stay here for 5 days as a part of group of 100+ business owners. At the same time as our visit there was also 3 other unrelated business groups at the resort. The overall service was... More

We just came back from a week panama. We stayed at the Intercontinental Playa Bonita. The hotel is very nice and the grounds are in excellent conditions. The gardens are beatiful and well groomed. The hotel has 3 different pools, an activity pool, a quiet adult pool and a kids pool. We enjoyed several restaurants at the hotel. The Pelican... More

This hotel is located about 20 kilometers from Panama International Airport and about 6 miles from the city proper. Access is hampered by traffic along the old and dilapidated America´s Bridge. The rooms are ample and modern but very basic. Amenities are great, including both pools, bars and the gym. It is quite nice to jog around in the hotel... More

Our stay there was very disappointing. I have not only worked for Holiday Inn for 15 years but stay in the hotels everywhere we go, so when we found out we were going to stay at the Intercontinental, we were really excited. After reviewing the website that ONLY showed suites with a tub we were a little disapointed in the... More

We loved this hotel. A big plus in this hotel is the quality of staff. They are curteous, and helpful. We wanted a place to relax and we found it. The property is beautifully decorated.There are two pools, one with music and children and the other one reserved for adult and relaxation, long enough to do lengths with a beautiful... More

This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in! Don't stay here unless you want to be scammed thousands of dollars upon check in! Even though we booked and paid in full and presented printed copy of our booking details of our travel from Merlin travels upon check in, they attempted to slip us a form that states that we... More
