Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

6/10 Okay

"Lo único que no me gustó que no tienen opción, ni recomendaciones para las excursiones y son muy corta duración las excursiones qué hay en Panamá el hotel un poco aburrido... muy bonito y buen servicio , pero aburrido ..."

Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo, Panama City

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is in what they call old city (area looks colonial). There are many stores in the area for shopping. The hotel itself is nice. The staff was friendly. The pool was beautiful and I had a great time using the on site spa. The rooftop restaurant had good food and live entertainmen. The hotel was well kept. "

La Isabela Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location walking distance to everything and safe area. The best part is the size of the place and the housecleaning is excellent. The manager is on site 24/7 and all of them were extremely nice and helpful with everything. The only negative is it is on the Main Street coming into the area and it is a one way street"

Casa Lefevre By Wynwood House

10/10 Excellent

"If you want to explore Casco Viejo, the location does not get any better than this. The balcony faces Cathedral Plaza and is a quick walk to many galleries, restaurants and clubs. The apartment I was in had lots of charm and a great use of space. The check in and check out process was super easy. Also, the Wynwood team is always available on WhatsApp if there are any issues or if you need anything. "
