Total dissappointment

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 May 2024
This hotel was a total disappointment. The rooms smelled of humidity and although we told them they said there was nothing that they could do. We had to call 5 times in 45 minutes to get a bottle of water to our room. the building looks nice from outside but not very nice inside.

Great Burger! Great staff! The Classic burger is a must! The location by the pool makes it for a nice environment to eat with a beautiful view of the ocean! Denilson was extremely friendly and provided us with amazing service!

We are looking forward to our next Burger!

As a frequent global traveler, I've stayed in all sorts of places. Earlier this month I had the privilege of staying at the JW Marriott Panama City, Panama. My experience from the moment of check-in to when I checked out a week later was Top Notch. The staff were always friendly, professional and helpful. It didn't matter what time of the day, they were willing to help.

At checkin Ms. Valeria was a joy to work with as she expertly processed my checkin and engaged in an enjoyable conversation. (Remember, always have a plan B) :). That's an inside joke incase she reads this review. She had several great recommendations on places to go for dinner. And they were quite good recommendations!!! Her colleague who was also checking in another guest remember me and my name the next day in the Executive Lounge! :). Several days later Ms. Valeria addressed me and asked how my stay was going. All signs of attentive hospitality professionals!

The property was clean, the rooms were safe, a good view, food quality was good. The area around the property was safe and I didn't worry about walking around the area. Getting to / from the property and other places around Panama was straight forward. Uber was typically prompt at picking folks up. I had a rental car for a few days and it was no problem for the valet to get the car in a quick manner.

I look forward to my next visit to Panama and will certainly stay at the JW again!

PS: I'm an Ambassador level in their frequent traveler program and thus have pretty high expectations.

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.
