The receptionist was very pleasant and the checkin process great. The room was clean and the view was beautiful. The breakfast variety each morning was definitely a plus and was well prepared. The sky bar and pool were awesome. I will definitely return here whenever I revisit Panama.

Not a high end luxury property, but Great room and facility for the price. Very convenient to a huge variety of restaurants within 2 minutes walking. Very safe area.
Perfect for a business stay, walk to malls and banking centers, with a good desk, fridge, and coffee maker.
Lastly a very relaxing pool, 24 gym, and lounge on the roof with amazing views of the city.
