Loved every minute of my stay in Panama and the Marriott, my last day Dayaius and Dalia took care of me and were so lovely. They were patient with my Spanish struggles and very quick to help me feel comfortable :) will be visiting Panama again very soon and will choose JW Marriott.

The whole hotel is beautiful! The pool is a whole vibe, overlooking the bay and the food at Azul is excellent! The JW Market has some really good cafe con leche and Masi…chef’s kiss! Last but not least, Jeim’s at the front desk is a gem! He took time to tell us all the great spots and suggested, AND ARRANGED a day trip to San Blas for my sister and I. We are so glad we listened to him because some locals told us there were no good beaches. He was extremely pleasant and helpful, and it helped that he was from our hometown. I just can’t wait to come back for another stay, and I’ll be booking here for sure!

Our team takes great pride in making every guest feel at home, and it sounds like Jeim’s did just that.

We can't wait to welcome you back for another incredible stay!

I am pleased to say that the hotel has since updated their website after my stay. It said that this hotel is on the beach but the nearest beach is 30 mins away. They have now corrected this. The hotel is on the bayside at Punta Pacifica and rooms do have sea views but not direct. The part of the building with direct sea views is the residence block. All hotel rooms have side sea views. The direct view from the balcony is another building on both sides. The room was dirty when I checked in and I had to be moved. I personally don't like the style of the rooms as the first thing you see when walking in is the bath tube. The bathroom and bedroom are all one space and only separated by a curtain. The hotel is tired and in need of renovations. For Marriott Bonvoy members this hotel doesn't offer a happy hour with free alcohol. Only food and all wines etc are chargeable. I was surprised that this was the case for a JW Marriott. The service offered by the Front Desk was poor. Billing was wrong, still waiting for points for my stay and staff quite rude. I wouldn't rush back here.

During our recent stay at the JW Marriott Panama, the Executive Lounge staff elevated our experience to an entirely new level. Maxine, Jesus, Jose, Diana, and Elizabeth were not just attentive, they were genuinely warm and welcoming.

What truly impressed us was their ability to remember us from our visit last year. They even recalled details about my parents, asking after them with sincere interest. It's those small touches that make you feel like more than just a guest.

Throughout our stay, they took exceptional care of us, from breakfast to snacks throughout the day. The lounge was always immaculate, and their smiles were infectious. They were consistently willing to go the extra mile, anticipating our needs and making us feel like we were back home, even while on an amazing vacation.

This team embodies the true spirit of hospitality, going above and beyond at every opportunity. They made our stay at the JW Marriott Panama unforgettable, and we can't wait to return and see them again. If you're looking for a hotel where you'll be treated like family, this is it.

Room tip: Get to the pool early!
