We had some hiccups during our stay (not attributable to the hotel) but the staff was always very kind and did everything on their power to make us feel comfortable and happy.
I would like to mention that the attention of Luis Rivas to us was beyond excellent.

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.

The property is nice but service is terrible if you need towels or anything delivered to your room it will never get delivered. We were at the pool and they had no towels. Basically the entire hotel had no towels and we were told they were in the laundry. Really don’t expect that from a Marriott.

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.

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.

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
