Yes. Gran Evenia Bijao and Evenia Bijao are the exact same hotel, located in Playa Bijao, Santa Clara (Panama).

There are no two separate hotels under these names.
Yes. "Bijao Beach Resort" and "Bijao Resort" were the names used during the hotel's transition period when management moved to Evenia Hotels, prior to settling on its current name, Gran Evenia Bijao. It is the exact same property, in the same location, with the same facilities.
The hotel that opened in 2015 as the Sheraton Bijao Beach Resort, under the Marriott brand and its Bonvoy loyalty program, no longer operates under that brand name. The same building and property passed to Evenia Hotels' management and are now marketed as Gran Evenia Bijao.
