Go for the breakfast buffet and wonderful staff.
Pros:

Best hotel breakfast buffet! Comfortable room and great spa. Espresso macchiato and smoothies at the cafe were fabulous. We used the InRide App to get around the city, very convenient.

Pros:

I liked the location. Staff was friendly and professional.

Cons:

I had to ask for wash clothes every day and the air in my room was terrible. Very humid. My daughter was in another room and did not have the problem with the air but she did have the problem with the wash cloths- face towels. It doesn't make sense to have to request them every day. Thanks!

los transportes que estan afuera del hotel son carisimos a comparacion de UBER. abusan de los turist
Pros:

Todo estuvo bien. considero que deben tener alternativas de comida en carnes, pollo. no solo pescado, sopas, cremas de mariscos, Jaiba, entre otros

Cons:

No se tiene gorro para que las mujeres se bañen sin lavarse el pelo, no se consigue mapa de Panamá para guiarse, y las personas que trabajan en el mostrador no están bien informados de los sitios turísticos. Iglesias, restaurantes, entre otros
