Pleasant and comfortable. A great stop of driving cross country.
Pros:

Basically, I would want travellers from the US or Canada or Europe to understand that things are different in Panama and that for Panama this is a very good hotel and people should allow context. Staff were great and that is very important.

Cons:

Hot water seemed to run out later in the evening. Coffee cups at breakfast are very small. Restaurant and bar were closed on our return visit when we got there in the early evening. Really just small and inconsequential things.

Comodidad y ubicación estratégica
Pros:

Lo que más me gustó fue la ubicación del hotel y el servicio puntual de transporte del aeropuerto. La habitación estuvo muy cómoda y el desayuno muy rico.

Cons:

No me gustó que la televisión no se pudo conectar a la computadora o al celular y la refrigeradora del cuarto no enfriaba suficiente.
