Very Good

This is a very nice place for people with kids or want to party all day long.
Noises all day long, no matter where you go. Very loud music, animation, group events and ongoing constructions. In fact, it was so loud, we couldn't hear the big excavator working right next to us at the beach chair.
The food at the buffet is good, lots a options and fresh, but the restaurant doesn't worth the time you have to spend to book a table. You can get almost the same food at the buffet.
Staff was super friendly and helpful.
We had an excellent stay at Gran Evenia Bijao. The resort was beautiful, the rooms were clean, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The food options were amazing, with plenty of variety and great quality throughout our stay. The evening entertainment shows were also fantastic and added a lot of fun to the experience. We would definitely return and highly recommend this resort. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The hotel doesn’t have king-size beds, so Expedia’s listing is false advertising. Overall, the hotel was okay, nothing special, but nothing terrible either.
The BBQ restaurant was absolutely trash. The Mediterranean restaurant was okay, while the buffet was hit or miss—sometimes good, other times pretty meh.
On the positive side, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, even though not many of them spoke any English. Would I go back unfortunately no.

Facilities were very clean, staff very friendly, beds were comfortable, nice hot showers.
We staid at the Grand Evenia for 4 nights. Overall everything was really great. The food was really good for the most part. We found the buffett to be the best. They have a few restaurants you have to make reservations for(Japanese, Medeteranian, and one other type), but they were just OK. The buffet is where they really shined. They had quite a few Panamanian dishes. The pool area is great and relaxing. The beach area is also nice. We had a sliding door that opened but it wasn't a balcony. It would have been nice to have a balcony room. The only issue we had was with hot water working intermittently in the shower, but they came and repaired it. As I said overall the stay was great. There is so much relaxation and value for the money.
We had a wonderful stay at this resort. The food was good, the beach was beautiful, and the rooms were clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit.
There wasn't a lot of evening entertainment, and most activities were geared toward Spanish-speaking guests. However, the resort has a quiet, relaxed atmosphere that is perfect for families with children.
The only drawback was the location, as it is about a two-hour drive from Panama City and the airport. Aside from that, everything was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This is a great resort for families. The staff is wonderful, helpful, attentive and friendly. The pools, slides and food were great. My kids loved the activities. The pools were spotless and the active lifeguards were a very nice surprise for a parent. I’ve was concerned after I saw so many negative reviews but I think they must be taking the comments seriously because it was an amazing stay.
Very clean, nice staff, food was good , drinks were good but limited, should have more than 1 beer and 2 dry wines, at least a semi dry or sweet.

Check-in was quick and easy. It was helpful that we checked in online and uploaded our passports to make the process faster. The staff at the swim-up pool were inattentive and not friendly. The pool was cloudy. The food was awful!!! The snack bar consisted of cold burgers, nachos with cold chili and cheese from a can, cold pizza, and minimal toppings for a salad. Dinner consisted of a salad bar and some warm options (which were actually cold). The meats were dry and tough. You could barely chew them or cut them with a knife. Breakfast was just as bad. Everything was cold and inedible. I would not stay here again even if someone gave me a free room.
The property is beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was nicely decorated and spacious. Very comfy beds.

The hotel amenities are great, the problem is that some of the staff is not to friendly. Another thing is with the pool towels, if you give them 2 tickets for 2 towels, why you also have to give your room number and name. Food is not that bad but the problem is that is always cold. The buffet is extremely hot if there is no breeze since they don’t have AC or fan around the room. Also, the AC on the rooms work great during the day but it looks like they adjust the temperature at night and you wake up sweeting. Not bad for the price but a lot of things to improve.

It’s a gem. A modest room refresh and small improvements could go a long way. Food was good but could also be taken up just one notch to make this a place to rave about.
Very nice area, it was once you Sheraton and we loved it then. We had many people and were able to fit all in three rooms. Food was fantastic, pools are great, but too bad about the bar! And the beach, magnificent as always in Panama. We will be back so we can enjoy the pool bar hopefully get complementary upgrade! Thank you so much

Pros: All inclusive so one less thing to worry about. Air conditioning worked well. The stray dogs and cats on the property added a unique experience. Beach was nice with tons of seashells.
Cons: Nothing peaceful about this resort. Pool side DJ blasting 90’s hits. Think YMCA mixed with a rave vibe. Drunk dads at the swim up bar. Nightly shows on the outdoor stage ended at 10pm. Even if you were not interested in joining you still felt like they were in your room. You can hear every word of every person walking through the halls and in neighboring rooms. Bring a sound machine/ear plugs if you want to fall asleep before 11pm. Plan on eating the same thing almost everyday unless you are very lucky and score a reservation at one of the 3 restaurants. You must wait in a line at 10am to try to get a reservation. We tried daily but nothing was available. The buffet was outside but enclosed with netting. HOT! Get to the buffet early for the fresh food. By the end of the service all cold food was hot and wilted. The gym is only available for 16+ even with a parent. Our 14 year olds who are both in training for sports were not allowed to work out with us.
We made the best of it and took some local trips and overall had a great time in Panama but the resort however was disappointing overall.
I stayed at the resort last week and overall everything was fine — the place is clean, the service was good, and the food was nice. However, I found one rule quite ridiculous. I was asked to go all the way back upstairs to my room because I was wearing my beach cover-up (those light, transparent clothes you wear over a swimsuit) in the restaurant.
I completely understand not allowing people to come in dripping wet or wearing only a bikini, but not being allowed to wear beach clothes at a poolside restaurant makes no sense. It felt unnecessary and inconvenient, especially since the restaurant is basically next to the pool.
I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately my experience was quite disappointing. The rooms were not properly cleaned, with noticeable buildup of grime that made the stay uncomfortable.
While a few staff members were polite and attentive, the majority of the personnel seemed indifferent. It was difficult to get assistance, and even basic interactions often felt dismissive.
The facilities themselves appear to be lacking proper maintenance, which is unfortunate because the property and the beach are actually very beautiful and have great potential.
Regarding food and beverages, the meals were good; however, the only place where we were able to consistently get drinks was at the sports bar, which limited the overall experience.
I chose this hotel to celebrate my birthday, and sadly, the experience did not meet expectations. At one point, some friends stopped by briefly to greet me on their way back to the city. Despite the fact that we remained in the lobby and even made purchases, we were treated by security in a manner that felt excessive and inappropriate, as if we were doing something wrong.
Overall, I did not have a pleasant experience and, regrettably, I do not believe I will be returning.
