"This is no longer called the Panamericana Hotel. It is called the Arica Hotel on Google Maps and the sign on the building. There is apparently a Panamericana Norte Hotel across town so be careful. Fortunately the address listed on Expedia is correct although confusing; only the name is wrong. Our stay was great. Ocean view room and comfortable bed. Beautiful pool area. Amenities seem great. "
