Let me start by saying that I have stayed at $100 hotels that were similar to this resort. It's not quite as nice as let's say a hilton, but considering the price it's not worth it. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, the staff is friendly enough and the food was tasty. But nothing is included in your $250... more

I I stayed with my wife for two nights to attend a convention. The hotel is located outside Panama City center and depending on the traffic conditions, it may take you some time to get in and out of town. It is a resort hotel so it has nice pool, spa and garden. The beach is limited and the canal... more

Very well manicured grounds with lots of beautiful flowers. Lots of pools and chairs available. The rooms are nicely furnished, clean. Nothing over the top but what you would expect, great water pressure and air conditioning. The food is okay, nothing great but there was always something on the menu that satisfied. Service was hit or miss, some people were... more

This place has it all. It is in a peaceful location surrounded by forest and it overlooks the Pacific Ocean with an enormous beach. There are 3 huge pools, one with a swim up bar. Their service is fantastic and their food at their restaurants are superb (they accommodated our vegetarian requests). Room service was very good and the drinks... more

We spent 5 nights at the InterContinental Playa. We were apart of a large group/incentive travel, we flew into the old Air Force base across the street from the hotel so we only had a 5 minute ride to hotel(major bonus!). Our room was on the 3rd floor with oceanview. The pluses of the hotel are: the pools (I think... more

This hotel is what I would call the faux 5 star. Beautiful grounds but that's all. Very average rooms and average service. The staff speaks little English; concierge forgot to make reservations for us; restaurant service is very slow, and at times you will be ignored. You get nickel and dimed so be aware. Way to over priced for what... more

After I booked this hotel/resort for our vacation, I read several poor reviews on Trip Advisor. I thought that maybe I'd made a mistake. I couldn't have been more wrong. This hotel and grounds are beautiful, extremely clean (they are constantly cleaning or painting something...) with great service in all areas, including the bartending, front desk, and restaurant staff. At... more

Although the place is very large, it is located on a beautiful beach and is everything one looks for in a resort hotel. This place claims it is a five star and in fact lives up to that designation. It is a very lovely place to chill out. Rooms are very large with lots of amentities. Only wish that the... more

I was here for a wedding which took place at the resort so my room costs were somewhat lower than the average - so please keep that in mind since I did feel like I got what I paid for, but might have felt differently if I'd paid more. I'd done a lot of research on this hotel before we... more
