Tips From a Travel Agent
Kids will enjoy Riuland, a supervised play center for children while the adults get some alone time.
Cocle Beach makes for an elegant wedding ceremony venue, with pristine white sand in the background. The long sprawling pools, with ocean views, would make for the perfect private reception venue.
There are plenty of dining opportunities on-site, including local Panamanian offerings.

“Great all inclusive. Wonderful pools including a children’s pool. The swim up bar was great. 28 minutes from the time we got off the plane till we were in our room. Full bar in the room. Great buffet, and specialty restaurants. Friendly staff really clean large air condition rooms Note try to get a room on the right side of the hotel quieter side. Lower level saves you elevator time.” – David Z. 4/19
