Overrated and Overpriced.
If I could do over, I would have skipped this stop. The hotel itself is situated nicely and the staff was generally helpful. We had an all-inclusive pass and the meals were, for the most part, very poor quality. The steak place, for example, seems to only serve food raw or well done. Medium rare does not exist (and two steaks of the exact same type were delivered as well done and inedible raw). In our room, there is a big window outside the bathroom with a privacy screen, this was installed incorrectly so everyone could see directly into the restroom (but no one could see out). Over 3 days, it was never repaired, the service tech did not show up at the time agreed. If you stay here, I definitely do not recommend getting the all-inclusive. Take Ubers to Old Town for restaurants. Better yet, try Dreams next door. We spent a bit of time there and has a much more vacation vibe.

The place is beautiful! Rooms are comfortable and well decorated. However, i had a coffee maker with NO cups. When i asked for s cup n i was handed the flimsiest paper cup I’ve ever seen! Certainly not something i want to drink a hot cup of coffee out of!!! Also, we ordered pizza at the bar twice during our stay. The pizza was awesome! However, when two people order a pizza, i think it would be appropriate to have 2 plates served with napkins and possibly even utensils!! The first time we ordered we had to ask for plates…we got one and no utensils. The second time we got one plate and one fork!! Bar service at the pool was just as bad!! The only place we had good service was at Terra y Fugil. Excellent dinner and excellent service! I would go back for the beach and the bed but I would go in with much lower expectations!!

Mixed Experience.... We recently stayed at the Westin Playa Bonita for two nights. While the setting and amenities were generally good, a few aspects of the stay were disappointing. The hotel felt quite crowded, and we had issues with the dining options – they were very limited, and the few choices available were always full, making it difficult to find a meal without hassle. The pool area left a lot to be desired as well. The towel service was quite poor, as they often didn’t have clean, dry towels on hand, and it took a bit of back-and-forth with staff just to get towels for my family. It was frustrating to have to negotiate for something that should have been readily available. On the positive side, the bar service in the lobby was exceptional. The staff was attentive and friendly, providing five-star service that really stood out and made the evenings enjoyable. Overall, the hotel could improve in some areas, especially with dining and poolside service, but we appreciated the great bar experience in the lobby.

There was constant jack hammering every day at the pool. You couldn’t get away from it. It was so noisy and dusty. They were even doing construction in the lobby. It was really frustrating and not relaxing at all. There were workmen taking videos of guests in the pool. Extremely unprofessional. I wouldn’t recommend this place for a relaxing vacation. We purposely paid extra for an ocean side view only to hear Jack hammering even when we were in our room. There are no posted menus on their website anywhere. I had to go down to the front desk to ask for menus.

This is a beach resort about a half hour outside Panama City. Area is nice. Quiet and safe. The resort is well maintained, if a little dated. Pools are terrific and the beach front is nice, if small. Ocean swimming is limited. Foos offerings were fine, id not exceptional. Buffets were nice with good range of choices.

This hotel is good if you're staying only a couple days and don't plan on hanging out there. My biggest disappointment with the hotel is the bar at the pool closes at 6p. There is no music out there it's just boring for people who are hanging with adults. Not much to do besides eat.

This property is in need of a desperate renovation from discolored chairs, broken faucet, old and nasty looking shower head, to mold in the ceiling. Even though the manager did try is best to make us happy for a Westin this was just horrible. These owner need to get it together because they wouldn’t stay there under those conditions.
