Pros:

Esta muy bien el hotel

Cons:

Tuve una situacion de acoso sexual por parte de un empelado en el area de la piscina. Quien entregaba las toallas. Me hizo sentir muy mal y senti miedo pues no habia nadie en ese momento en el area.

La Puscina no estaba habilitada
Pros:

Buena atención variedad en la comida

Cons:

En la mañana no pudimos disfrutar en la piscina el sr dijo que demoraría una hora en mantenimiento y ese no era el día correspondiente, demoró más de cuatro horas y me tocó retirarme del hotel, es decir mi pareja y yo NO PUDIMOS DISFRUTAR DE LA PISCINA, que sentido tenía pasar un momento diferente en el hotel si no pude relajarme en la piscina en mi estancia

Gran opcion calidad precio en el centro de panama.
Pros:

El desayuno estaba muy bien, la piscina tambien, el tener restaurantes alli mismo tambien. LA habitacion tenia un buen tamaño. los empleados eran atentos.

Cons:

Precio demasiado alto de los restaurantes. Precio demasiado alto bebidas, precio demasiado alto de la lavanderia. A veces se hubiera agracido algo de paz, tenian la musica a todo volumen siempre.

Good but blocking room access at checkout time
Pros:

Overall good hotel to stay in the city. Great pool and garden.

Cons:

The day of checkout your room key is deactivated automatically around checkout time. So if you are 5mins late, you can no longer access your room or even floor you stayed. Makes no sense to me and delays the checkout process even more. As we had a lot of luggage, I had to go back to the room for the remaining luggage, just to find out I could no longer enter the room. Had to go back to the reception, reactivate key, get luggage, back to reception, again in the line to be able to checkout. Extra 15mins to checkout for what?

Pros:

Nos gustó las atenciones del personal del Lobby, en especial el Gerente. Muy atento.

Cons:

No es que no me gustó. Solo una crítica constructiva. Darle una limpieza a los asientos que están en la piscina.
