The staff was very helpful and they had a good selection for the breakfast. However, i had to change my room twice because it smelled like urine in both rooms

The rooms were not always cleaned properly. Things were left on the floor that indicated same. They would make the beds replace the towels and leave. The breakfast is always exceptional.

I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience. When my family arrived, the rooms had a strong unpleasant smell. The biggest issue, however, was how the hotel handled an emergency situation. I was detained by immigration officers at PTY Tocumen International Airport in Panama and was separated from my family. My family explained to the hotel staff that I could not check in because I was being held by immigration and that the reservation was in my name. Despite the fact that our rooms had already been paid for through Expedia, the hotel refused to allow my family to check in under the existing reservation. Instead, they were told they had to make an entirely new reservation and pay again if they wanted a place to stay. With no other options, my family had to use money they could barely afford to spend. Afterward, I requested a refund through Expedia because we were unable to use the prepaid reservation due to circumstances completely beyond our control. My refund request was denied, and I lost the money I paid for the original reservation. I hope management reviews how situations like this are handled. Travelers should be aware of the hotel's policies regarding prepaid reservations and emergency circumstances before booking.

I recently stayed at Riu Plaza Panama and had a pleasant experience overall. The standout feature was definitely the breakfast. The buffet offered an impressive variety of fresh fruits, pastries, hot dishes, and made to order eggs, making it easy to find something different each morning. The hotel is well located and the staff were courteous and helpful throughout my stay. One thing that surprised me was that the room came with only two pillows, the first hotel I have stayed in that did so. I had to request additional pillows, which were provided, but it would be more convenient if extra pillows were available in the room from the start. The gym had an unpleasant scent during my stay Personally, I prefer more modern hotels property is also beginning to show its age and would benefit from some upgrades, particularly to the rooms and common areas, to match the standards of newer hotels in the area. Overall, it is a good choice for business or leisure travelers, especially if a great breakfast is important to you. With some renovations and a few small improvements to in room amenities, it could easily be an excellent hotel.
