Need a major upgrade! The building design on the outside is so unique!! The service is very good from the minute you get to the front of the building. The location is very central and right next door to a casino. Unfortunately the hallways and rooms need to be cleaned and updated. The view from our room was very nice but we could smell the stale air that never went away. Even the hallway was stale! The hotel needs a major overhaul. Would not recommend.

Excellent service! Staff is very polite and friendly without being intrusive. The pool serveci very nice and friendly. The bartenders at la cava get 5 stars as do the cleaning staff. Everybody went the extra mile to give good service. Management did a great job training and keeping the staff motivated. Good job

PRO: Very good hotel on the water in Panama City. Some rooms are a bity funky but the suite we were upgraded to was great. Good staff. Nice concierge lounge. Terrific swimming pools.

CON: A little dated can use a bit of redecorating and new furniture.

Room tip: Ask for a high floor.

We found the property very well organized, very clean and all restaurants were very well managed.
We especially like to mention the great attention that Chef Alain from Massi Restaurant provided every morning, as well our pool side waiter Denilson from Azul Restaurant he was consistent with his daily waitering service. This young guy definitely has what it takes to run his own show some day.

One of the best bars to come to. If you want to have your tastebuds be delighted in complex drinks and a nice atmosphere then wait no more!! The bartenders Josue, Gabriel, and Kevin are the best. They can make any drink you want and suggest drinks you may find interesting!! All drinks are liquid gold and smooth going down!! Don’t hesitate to stop by when you are in the city!!
