An excellent vacation in Panama

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 27 Apr 2024via mobile
We didn’t know basically anything about Panama (other than about the Panama Canal that we learned in school) prior to this trip.
We were very impressed at the people in Panama (including everyone that we came across at Westin Panama), how courteous, polite, helpful and friendly they were, from all walks of life. The natural beauty of Panama was breathtaking. Overall we had a very memorable experience.
Date of stay: April 2024
Room Tip: We went in April 2024 and we have no complaints.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Reviewed 13 March 2024

Despite showing signs of its age, this hotel still manages to offer a pleasant stay, though future guests should note that the rooms on the westside of the 10th floor are situated just above a rather noisy air conditioning unit.
However, the true highlight of my experience was the exceptional service provided by the staff. Their warmth and readiness to assist at any moment significantly enhanced my stay. A standout was Señora Elisabeth during breakfast, who made me feel incredibly welcome, especially appreciated since I was traveling alone. She attended to her section with the care and attention reminiscent of a mother ensuring her children enjoyed their meal.

Melinda at the front desk also deserves special mention for her kindness and patience, making me feel comfortable to inquire about anything. Additionally, the service line staff, particularly the lady who would address me by my name, demonstrated remarkable helpfulness. When a specific meal request couldn't be met, she patiently walked me through the alternatives, showcasing the level of service I wish to find in all my hotel experiences. It's not about grand gestures or lavish amenities but about sincere kindness and professionalism that truly makes a difference. This hotel, with its dedicated staff, certainly knows how to leave a lasting impression.

The hotel is situated like 20 minutes from Tocumen Airport in a safe area to wander around. A safe and efficient way to travel in Panama City is by Uber.

Wonderful bar staff, we went nearly every night and enjoyed it. Front desk people were also exceptional along with the chauffeurs. Franklin is a great doorman! It was fun helping him with learning a new language.

We just wish the pool would have been open for any amount of time that we were there.
