This program is designed to blend the natural beauty of the Coclé Province with a high standard of kosher hospitality. Managed by the Rimonim catering team under the leadership of Chef Avi Barak, the event focuses on a fine-dining gastronomic journey tailored specifically for the holiday.
Guests can expect a program that integrates traditional observances with the luxury of a world-class resort.

About the area Prime Coastal Location in El Chirú The resort is located in El Chirú, within the Coclé Province, a region often referred to as the \"Dry Arch\" of Panama due to its favorable climate. Positioned about 120 kilometers from Panama City, this destination offers a secluded escape from the capital’s bustle while remaining accessible for international travelers arriving via Tocumen International Airport (PTY) or the closer Rio Hato (Scarlett Martínez) Airport.
While Panama City is the historic heart of the Panamanian Jewish community—home to prominent synagogues such as Shevet Ahim and Beth El—this coastal retreat brings a temporary yet robust Jewish infrastructure to the Pacific shore. The setting allows visitors to enjoy the serenity of the beachfront and lush tropical gardens while remaining within a structured communal environment during the holiday period.
Nearby Jewish landmarks Exploring the Riviera Pacífica Beyond the resort grounds, the Riviera Pacífica region offers a blend of natural wonders and recreational opportunities. Guests can explore the nearby El Valle de Antón, a unique town situated in the crater of an extinct volcano, known for its cooler climate, thermal springs, and local artisan markets. For those seeking maritime adventures, the coastline provides ample opportunities for whale watching (seasonal), deep-sea fishing, and surfing at nearby breaks.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to diverse ecosystems. The area is home to various bird species and tropical flora, making it a prime location for eco-tours. Back within the Buenaventura community, the private zoo and stable offer immersive experiences for families, while the Nicklaus Design golf course remains a primary draw for sports enthusiasts.
What to expect Culinary Excellence and Holiday Observance An epicurean journey defines the stay, with all meals included from morning until evening. The catering follows a Sepharadic style and includes kitniot, ensuring a menu that is both culturally authentic and diverse. Beyond the primary dining hall, guests have access to poolside bites and a 24-hour tea room stocked with snacks and beverages. This ensures that dietary needs are met throughout the day, providing a worry-free experience for families.
Religious life is a cornerstone of the experience. A full schedule is provided for all prayers, including candle lighting and Havdalah. The Seder is a central highlight, guided by Chazan Isaac Michanie, who leads the community through the Haggadah with traditional melodies. Between services and meals, guests can take advantage of the resort's extensive facilities, including multiple swimming pools, a world-class spa, and the Buenaventura Marina.
