Panama Cheap Holidays

Love the location. Close to everything in the UNESCO quarter. Best coffees and best restaurants are just a few min away or next door. Hotel staffs are nice. Our room is small on the first floor. I actually like it because it is quieter than 2nd floor. Our room has air conditioner which is a much have for hot Panama weather. Although no breakfast, ice water is available all day and morning coffee is very good.

Really neat location and would go back soley based on the outdoor activities but the place was a bit unorganized and cleanliness and upkeep were not the best. It was still good though. I would not avoid it, just manage some expectations and then have a great time :) The animal refuge and butterfly tour are well worth every minute

It was difficult to get the staff to clean our room daily

The room was perfect , but some items doesn't work well, the shower handles were broken, the soap dispenser and the soap stand were loose from the wall and continuously fallen to the floor, the white towels are off white, need a better laundry The room was great, but there were some issues with the amenities. The shower handles were broken, and the soap dispenser and stand were loose, causing them to constantly fall to the floor. Additionally, the white towels had a slightly off-white hue, suggesting they could benefit from better laundry treatment. On a positive note, the front desk staff were very responsive and helpful, and the location was fantastic, with plenty of good restaurants nearby and a safe area to walk around.

The room was clean spacious and had good extras.

The room itself was the best part. Super comfy beds and really spacious. The bad - the shower door didn’t seal so the floor was constantly covered in soaking wet towels. As other reviewers have stated - there’s nothing special about the food. The breakfast buffet is worth adding for the extra $11. Def not worth $22 per person though. We ate at the buffet once for dinner and it was pretty awful. We ate at fuego and it was way over priced for the quality of food. Same goes for the starfish place. But one thing they all had in common was terrible service. Though, as we move around to different areas (we’re now in Casco Viejo) and the service here is pretty awful as well. I don’t think anyone here hustles for tips. It’s weird. As for location - you aren’t going to do anything out at the Westin, so staying there kind of seems pointless. Where we are staying now is a cool area that you can walk around and there’s tons of shopping and food and stuff to do. And all the excursions we did while at playa Bonita, we could have just done from here. Highly recommend the monkey and sloth tour. By far the best bag for your buck at $30/person for 5ish hours! Ok back to hotel - as others have said, beach is terrible. Low tide seems to last forever and it goes out sooooo far. And you aren’t left with sand and tide pools, you’re left with mud and grossness. Do not stay here if you’re trying to have a beach experience. Anyway, I would recommend staying elsewhere - casco viejo has been great!

Great breakfast, service cleanliness.
