Hotel Caribe

Adequate room, the staff was amazing and despite language barriers, we were able to achieve everything we wanted to it’s in a good location and a shuttle was provided for $30 to go to the airport. We did not use the pool or the shops nearby as it was later in the evening when we arrived and we were quite tired. We did go to the little restaurant. The food was very good and our waiter was exceptional.

Yes

Room was a good size. More basic but clean. Breakfast was limited, but eggs, pancakes and fruit. Nice roof top pool. The area around was not great, but short walk to water and old town. Very slow elevator.

Adequate, comfortable bed, quite noisy, unsafe to go out at night. Be prepared to use uber or cab after dark especially women. Front desk staff not so friendly but the doormen, especially Whyber, will go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of. Had paid for 6 days left after 3 to go to a better place despite the loss of $$.

an adequate room at a budget price. clean enough and quiet enough with decent bed. no frills and the internet was weak and no english spoken.

Staff is great rooms are clean rooms are getting a little old though

The welcoming by the receptionist staff was was underwhelming. They did not even provide me with a wifi password. The wifi was very slow. I was barely able to call and secure an uber. If you need to do work, this is not the place to stay for that! On the good aspects, the bed was great. I had a good sleep. While the building is dated, is needing maintenance and care

Nice clean, safe hotel in a great location.

The hotel is 2 stars at best. Room provided the bare minimum although the towels were soft and fluffy. No security box, no hair dryer, no dresser, etc..

The problem was when I arrived they did not honor my reservation. They informed me that the people before me had a problem with their tour bus breaking down. Therefore they offered to send me to some flea bag hotel for the night. Outside the front door you can smell the open sewer. It’s a good price!

Hotel Caribe is an older hotel in Panama City in a convenient location that is very close to must see areas. The metro (bus and train) and lots of taxis close by and reliable. Supermarket one block away and 24hrs. Most staff are friendly however most don't speak English so difficult to communicate. One staff member spoke English, and he was extremely courteous and friendly. He made us feel comfortable. One staff member at the front door with a bald head was rude and impolite. He had no manners and not friendly at all. Housekeeping and front desk were friendly and helpful. Because it is an older hotel that are no modern comforts like a refrigerator or microwave in the hotel rooms. Also, the rooms have older air-condition units, make noise, but it is not overbearing. However, there is hot water so that was good and also an elevator which moves a bit slow but still reliable. This experience is still disturbing to me: our toilet got clogged and the impolite staff member came up to unclog it with the plunger. After he unclogged it, I heard him put on the shower and I am assuming he cleaned the plunger that was just in the toilet with toilet paper and human waste in the shower area. Then he calls my son into the bathroom and I come as well and he is like "Mister, no put any paper in the toilet put toilet paper you use in waste basket". He then proceeds to take the hotel hand we are using to wash his hands. I went to supermarket bought cleaning supplies and cleaned up

I didn’t have a refrigerator which I needed to store my medicine! They didn’t have one available and I can tell they went and bought a brand new one!!

The hotel is located near to the malls and other places of interest. The surrounding area was not so sophisticated but I appreciated the large supermarket close by. I didn’t have much problem with noise which was limited mainly to the motor vehicles traversing the road. Taking the uber was easy and cost effective. My room was very clean and I got room service every day. I really appreciated the ladies who took care of the room, the were very professional and courteous. The lobby staff were helpful and professional. Check in and check out was very easy. The breakfast served was very delicious every morning.

Long waits for service such as parking. Tv had no reception, AC barely functions, no hot water

The pool & bar were good, The view both day & night was great.

Good Services for short-term stay

nice

The same day I checked into caribé I was checked out in less than four hours. It looks nothing like the pictures, the outside of the hotel is nasty and looks horrible. I had to stop someone and ask if I was at the right place. Upon entering the room, it’s dimly lit due to one light bulb in the room, the furniture is outdated and the noise outside is unbearable. I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel, this hotel is a catfish and looks nothing like the photos, it’s just dingy looking and I felt so unsafe being there. I contacted Expedia immediately and demanded a refund, I told them they could keep one night but I needed to leave, the aesthetic of this place almost ruined my boyfriend birthday trip and I will not recommend anyone to stay there.

Was too bad but needs some upgrades

Pros: Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was good. Cons: hot water wasn't hot it barely got to lukewarm and TV never worked even when they sent someone to check on it. Ended up using my own accounts.
