The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort Panama, Autograph Collection

This was our second stay at The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort. However, this stay was not planned. We had rented an apartment in the Bristol residences but lost water after a few nights. The Manager, Mr. Luis R. was so very helpful in relocating our entire party to the hotel for the remaining three nights. He was also instrumental in helping us share the food we had purchased for a week in the apartment. We would not have entertained moving to the hotel if not for the gracious service and assistance provided by hotel staff while we stayed in the apartment. Taking her time to help with a rental car issue, Ms. Ana R. was instrumental in salvaging our week in the area. Having people like Ms. Ana R. take care of visitors, as she does, is exactly why we will plan our third visit. Stellar service is what you get at The Buenaventura from the front of the house with Mr. Luis J. to the beach with Mr. Nelson. Most, if not all, staff tend to take a moment during every encounter to stop, look at you, and share a pleasantry that makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. Corporate management can be assured it is the people of Buenaventura who make the visit for their clients. Maintaining a facility in such challenging climates is a constant duty and the company would do well to focus on such minor details. But I assure you, the staff is holding up the resort as wonderful place to visit and enjoy. We look forward to our next visit.

After two days at the resort my husband experienced a medical emergency. We received so much assistance from Luis Ravis and Richard Guerra. They were both so supportive and compassionate to assist us during an awful situation.

We were here with our golf group for 4 nights but would have been very happy if we could have spent our entire 9 night Panamá holiday here! We had a beautiful large room with a veranda facing just one of many swimming pools! Delicious food was served in all of the restaurants which are easily accessible on foot or by hotel shuttle. The golf course is in wonderful condition and has a large practice area. Stables are on site for horseback riding. The staff is friendly and efficient. But a special shout out to Genesis the best staff member of all!

Property is lovely. Rooms are a bit sad and run down. Lack of chairs by the pools. Towels provided at pool & beach are small bath towels. One pool is drained. Resort is lacking basic details. Overall needs some TLC

The resort is absolutely beautiful, with lush greenery, abundant birdlife, and stunning architecture. The beach is gorgeous, and the water is perfectly warm. We’ve visited 35 countries and stayed at 18 all-inclusive resorts, and this is definitely one of our favorites. The property is large and well-maintained, giving it a very spacious and relaxing feel. The food is of excellent quality—far better than what you typically find at all-inclusive resorts. The staff are incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back!
