Bueno,
Pros:

El personal es sumamente amable

Cons:

La piscina estaba inhabilitada por la estancia, obvio por posibles daños del temblor habia que estar vigilantes sin embargo no se vio a nadie inspeccionar o intentar rehabilitar la misma solo dejaron que los dias pasarán y se sentía algo de dejadez en ese sentido.

Lo otro, escogimos una habitación y pagamos adicional con las vistas al mar o al canal de Panamá, perooo no existe como tal, solo se ven árboles, desde el piso 1 al 3😵‍💫
Bastantes estacionamientos

Beautiful Hotel in Panama
Pros:

Beautiful Hotel in Panama. I got a room with a nice view of the canal and I could see ships sailing by when sitting on the balcony. The room was really clean. A special thanks to Quality Manager Wendy and receptionist Juliana for making my stay extra special.

Pros:

Un sitio agradable, buenas instalaciones, todo limpio y ordenado. Quiero dar un agradecimiento especial al personal que ese día quienes nos guiaron y explicaron los protocolos antisismicos y las medidas que el hotel estaba tomando en relación al tema. Esa noche Julianna y la gerente fueron bien atentas y profesionales en su comportamiento y eso ayudo a mantener la calma.
