We had a wonderfulr time at Buenaventura and will come again soon. Our only concern was that the property could use some well deserved repairs. The pool close to the hotel was in disrepair and roof tiles were broken all over the property. We loved the El Faro pool area.

Such a peaceful and beautiful place and a nice contrast to the hustle and bustle of Panama City. The golf course is gorgeous and the hotel is welcoming. Our room was quiet and comfortable. The shuttle service is really nice to get around the huge resort.

There is so much to do on the property and the proximity to restaurants, beach, and pools is great. We took a shuttle to the other side of the “campus” to eat one night. El Valle an hour up the mountain; would love to come again and check out the area more, fishing, golf, etc.

I reserved a room here hoping to relax and enjoy the nice bathtub with a beautiful view of the property. Unfortunately, the water in the tub did not work and on one day, all of the water was off.

Absolutely loved my stay here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The pools were clean and although at times busy, wasn’t too noisy. Many great food options without having to leave the property. Rooms and balcony are spacious. Beds & pillows super comfortable. Amenities in the rooms were great. The property and rooms were clean overall, but definitely aged and could use some refreshing. Would visit again

A little slice of paradise. The staff were amazing. It was nice to have staff that could also speak English as we know very little Spanish. The grounds were immaculate. The room was spacious, comfortable, and luxurious. The staff was also most accommodating when I accidentally left some personal belongings in our room after checking out in going back to the room and retrieving them for me, including the jewellery that I didn’t even realize I had left behind. There was a wide variety of restaurants to choose from on-site and a variety of pool options, as well as areas on the beach. A most beautiful complex.

We noticed deterioration to pool areas. Beach club is long ways for seniors to get there. Beach area is steep to waters edge ....older people can forget accessing it. The bed was not that good for a 4 star Marriott property. As a previous platinum member I expected better. The shower head needs updating. One last thing the room serviceprinted menu steak price was out of date; it showed $22 yet each yet we were billed $32. When I brought it up to front desk upon check out I was told a manager would have to be summoned who they couldn't seem to find. We had to leave so it never got resolved. We thought performance would be better from a resort advertised elitely.
