JW Marriott Hotels and Resorts is set to open its fifth property in Panama with the launch of the JW Marriott Panama Golf and Beach Resort.
The group will convert the existing 118-room Bristol Buenaventura property into a luxury resort, which will include an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, a luxury spa, extensive health and fitness amenities and five restaurants.
Exact details of the spa and other facilities - as well as the hotel's opening date - are yet to be confirmed.
Nestled within an area of 1,000 acres, the property is located within the master-planned Buenaventura beachfront community, one of Panama's most exclusive resort communities, approximately 80 miles southwest of Panama City on Panama's Pacific coast.
Laurent de Kousemaeker, chief development officer for Marriott's Caribbean and Latin American operations, said: "The pacific coast of Panama has all of the ingredients to become a world class resort destination and we are excited to be at the forefront of that effort with our flagship brand."
