Panamá Beach Trip

We stayed here for six nights. The room itself was very spacious, clean, and well equipped. Having a full kitchen and a large living area was a big plus, and the AC worked perfectly throughout our stay. Overall, the comfort of the room was good. However, we did experience one major issue. There was a noticeable sewage smell in the room that became stronger as the week went on. By the end of our stay, we were closing the bathroom door and covering the sink drains because the odor was quite unpleasant. Unfortunately, this significantly affected our comfort. The resort is very quiet, with little to no entertainment on site. This may be ideal for couples or families looking for a peaceful stay. However, backpackers or travelers looking for more atmosphere might prefer staying closer to Plaza Coco, which is nearby and offers a more lively vibe. As for the food, it was average. If you’ve stayed at standard all-inclusive hotels in places like Cuba, it’s comparable — fairly repetitive and somewhat bland. Not terrible, but not a highlight of the stay either. The location itself is beautiful, and for the price, it wasn’t unreasonable. Overall, I would rate it between 3 and 3.5 stars. With improvements to the odor issue and some upgrades to the food variety, it could be significantly better.

We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay at the resort. The staff were so kind and really caring to the kids. The food was top notch and comforting. Every day had a different theme. The drinks were great too. The property is set facing the beach and the views during sunset are really beautiful. The beach was sufficiently clean and looked like there were lots of activities you could purchase separately. One of the pools were being cleaned when we were staying. But the other three were great and also relaxing. The best part of this resort was that it was not over crowded. So you felt that you're being taken care of. Over all our family thoroughly enjoyed here. Would absolutely come back in a heartbeat.

Epic views from every room!

The star class wasn’t worth the extra expense (we’ve done it at other Royalton properties and it was worth it) and the food wasn’t great. The country was beautiful and the Nexus excursion teams were fantastic. Would go back to Costa Rica but would not return to this property

Sendero Hotel is perfect in every way and the restaurant rivals some of the best in the world--I'm not exaggerating here. Special shout out to the team at Chorotegas Surf School!
