Breakfast available in restaurant for very reasonable prices ($10 USD for both of us with omelets, coffee and toast)! Food was quite tasty with good selection. Right on the beach and promenade. The upstairs dining area with perfect views of the ocean right in front of you is a bonus. Staff all spoke very good English and were very attentive. Good value for the price

“Great place to enjoy: Pool - Food - View - Rooms + all of the staff being truly helpful & attentive”
We arrived early for the check-in, which was no problem for the team. As it sometimes happens while travelling I got ill and I couldn‘t imagine a better place to rest. Everybody there was doing their best to help me recover. Big Daddy is a place where you can have a great time, next to the beach but also with a pool (really clean), chairs to lie down. The food is good, and you can enjoy the view while eating: The Pacific Ocean. There is absolutely nothing I missed! On the contrary. Luckily after six nights I felt fit enough for travelling again – BigDaddy »Magic«, I guess. Thank you all!

“Disappointing”
Pool was not kept up and green, food was poor and the beach was filthy with a ton of trash.

“All I have to say is that I will come back whenever I can moreover I will suggest this place.”
I would suggest at least a bottle of water in the room or an ice machine accessible, must places have a tiny refrigerator in the room which makes it convenient if you want to preserve any food or drinks.

“The hotel is located in a very poor and not very nice area, but the hotel itself is a little oasis”
The food was in general very good. Pricey though. The breakfasts were lovely, well-cooked omelets. Our first night's dinner was lovely, but the 2nd night was not so good. Once you are at Big Daddys it is unlikely that you will look for restaurants anywhere else for dinner as there are no restaurants in the area. Lunches are different as you can move further down the coast and find some nice places to eat at such as Hooked on Panama. The rooms are spacious, very basic, but comfortable. The staff are wonderful. Always a smile and a laugh from them! The swimming pool was great to cool off in. A perfect size and depth.

“It was so nice there I didn't want to go anywhere else. So enjoyed being right on the ocean a right”
Great room facing the ocean with amazing sunrises. Big raised deck to get a good view and the breeze. Staff served us there, and were friendly and efficient. New kitchen area with fridge. Pool was a nice size and very clean. Great Maracuya Margaritas and Panamanian breakfast was the BEST!!!
