I stayed there with my father on the week of the Canal of Panama Congress. The Congress areas were big and gorgeous.It was a great hotel, good service. It was always clean. We had wifi on the rooms and common areas. The pool is very pretty. I didnt like the beach. If youre staying here you should rent a car... More

If I were to guess why the hotel's staff was so poor, I would say it wasn't likly they had ever been a guest of a Hotel in their lives. The Westin did an extremely poor job of training their staff here. The food preparation was nasty, the lobby staff was clueless, the bar staff didn't know how to mix... More

Beautifull hotel and for the most part very empty while I was there. The service was great at the buffet and they always made sure my drinks were topped off. The food was good and always different each night. The hotel is beautifull and the rooms are nice with great beds. The bugs by the pool were insistent even with... More

I visited this hotel to assist a recent congress. Room was super nice, spacious, and service was very good. Particulary I liked the big windows, almost wall to wall, but unfortunatly didn't like the view, "Garden view", there is a big bus parking lot, just behind the hotel, that messes the background. If you can try the ocean or beach... More

The relatively new Westin in Playa Bonita is absolutely beautiful. Visually stunning architecture, fantastic views, all in a secluded area outside of the traffic and noise of Panama City. Unfortunately, this lovely resort is not quite ready for experienced travelers. The staff is very friendly but not well trained. The check-in process was tedious with long lines and too few... More

Summary: The real question that you need to ask yourself is - what type of experience do I want? Are you wanting to go to a resort where it feels like a non stop party? If the answer is yes, then do NOT go to this place. If, on the other hand you want elegance, 5 ***** luxury, service, and... More

Here for 7 days. The resort is quite lovely. With a view of the Taboga Islands and the ships lining up to enter the canal. An abundant amount of Pelicans continuously flying overhead... very cool.
