First of all we had a great time during our stay at the FAC resort. Elisa and Elena provided a great first impression during check-in. Best check-in ever including an appointment for a U.S. reentry required Corvid test. I big praise to all the service staff we encountered. The food in all the restaurants was tasty and well presented. Entertainment was provided at pool site and at night venue. We certainly will return soon.

Great family resort. The first person to greet us and the last person to see us off was Kiko. What a great guy! All the staff was so friendly. Especially liked Casa de Rosa. Hipolito is a fantastic waiter, and Esmeralda was very welcoming up front. Food was awesome! Did not have a bad experience, only good and better! Covid tests were easy and no problem. Thank you Panama Jack crew for a great vacation!

The property is in great shape and staff are excellent. Positive Attitude means everything and this staff had amazing positive attitudes. What I didn’t like lol..... straws.
