At the pool, you have a notice up that says no cussing or bad language, but your pool music provided by the hotel consistently played music with every cuss or bad word there is. Pool service was also very SLOW.

Over all was on point. Her are some suggestions. 1. When you book your stay make sure it states all included on the printed invoice. I booked all included drives and food. However, they claimed that did not have proof. So, I had to pay for the meals and drinks. At night some guest just slam door at all hours. I suggest placing door checks on all the doors. Overall its a great place and we diid have a great time.

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.
