The room was clean and well maintained the view was excellent. Interns of food it’s more American style breakfast which got boring after few mornings but the taste was ok. They served a lot of food with pig derivatives which I guess is a Panamanian thing, but for someone who doesn’t eat pork that was an issue. Overall the experience was good the staff was pleasant and very helpful.

From my understanding this is a 5 star hotel so I will give an honest review, my 1st time staying in a 5 stars hotel. I booked a suite, and it gave me access to the VIP lounge, which was nice. That was my daughter’s favorite place to hang besides the pool. Lounge is open from M-S , 9-5 pm. In the lounge they have light food like parfait, fruits, small sandwiches and beverages. Also they have computers and books to read. Breakfast is included from 6:30-10:30 am. Breakfast is marvelous, great selection of food, they even serve soup, rice, chicken, salads, omelette made to order, so it’s more breakfast/ lunch. They have a cafeteria that’s open 24 hrs if you want to grab something quick. They also have a restaurant on site available at a cost for breakfast, lunch and dinner What people said about that mildew odor as soon as you step off the elevator is true. Smells like wet carpet that has not dried properly. The pool was clean but also had a smell to it, like the water that has not been changed a while. No microwave in the rooms. Tvs suck, one stopped working, and not many channels options. there was option for streaming like Netflix or Amazon, but when I clicked on the apps they didn’t work which sucked. The rooms were cleaned daily and each time we got fresh towels. No Microwave in the rooms which I found weird for a 5 star hotel. There’s a dining table in the suite which was useless unless ordering food from outside. Original items in the fridge are free!

the hallways smelled like a swamp. There was mold/mildew in several places in the hallways. On two occasions the had large fans in hallway to attempt to dry it out. The Lounge was useless and only open from 9-5.

The buffet breakfast was the star of my hotel stay. For example, it includes a variety of fresh fruit (pineapple, pomegranate, melon, etc), prepared Panamanian and other cross-cultural centric dishes, cook-to-order omlette station, and a juice bar of delectable concoctions. The backup singer was my suite. The suite clearly revealed the age and use of the room and hotel. For i

A very nice looking hotel, unfortunately poor customer service from staff. Not only did I not feel valued, I had a medical emergency during my stay and I was disregarded from a staff member. Being on one of the higher floors, I tried to call to the front desk and was told I would have to come down to the lobby to get help. Also, I was not even asked did I need someone to come up to my room. I travel a lot and I would say this was the first time I’ve experienced this level of disrespect in my life. I truly thought I was being discriminated against because I was American. I didn’t know what I did but I was not treated like they cared for me. I can only share what happened and this was my unfortunate experience.

We had a great stay overall. Our room was very large, spacious, and comfortable, which was one of the things we loved most about this hotel. When we first arrived, the AC was leaking. The hotel staff immediately offered to accommodate us and move us to another room, but we really liked the size of our room and decided to stay. They fixed the issue quickly and even provided us with a complimentary meal, which we appreciated. The front desk staff were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel itself is huge, with guests of all ages, and there was always visible security, which made us feel safe. The pool area was a lot of fun. There was always a great atmosphere with different music, food, and activities throughout the day. The free breakfast had plenty of options, and we especially enjoyed the Panamanian food both at the hotel and at local restaurants nearby. The location is excellent. You can easily walk to restaurants, KFC, Starbucks, liquor stores, and a 99-cent store that sells souvenirs right around the corner. The hotel also has souvenirs available for purchase. Being only about 20 minutes from the airport was very convenient, and Uber was inexpensive and made getting around easy. My only minor complaint was that some of the women working in the restaurant seemed a little snobby at times, although that may have just been my personal experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for its spacious rooms, great location, fun atmospher
