"A Wonderful Stay with Iconic Views and Exceptional Service!"
I am so grateful for the lovely experience I had at this hotel. Despite being a large, impressive property in the heart of the business district, the atmosphere felt remarkably personal and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, the reception team was fast, pleasant, and efficient. I was even given the thoughtful option to choose my room from three different floors, which I truly appreciated! The Room & Views: My room on the 16th floor was simply impeccable. The decor was beautiful, and the layout was perfect for a traveler—I loved having a dedicated desk for my laptop and a cozy mini-sofa area to relax. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom felt like a spa with its double sinks and wonderful rainfall shower. The highlight, however, was the view! Looking out at the pool and the iconic "The Screw" building every day was a treat. Dining & Amenities: The breakfast buffet was a highlight of my mornings. The selection was vast, from fresh local items to delicious fruits and breads, all served by a very attentive staff. There is nothing quite like enjoying a coffee on the terrace right beside the pool. I also found the 24-hour snack bar, souvenir shop, and business centre in the lobby to be incredibly convenient. A Few Small Observations: While my stay was near perfect, I did notice a faint sewer scent near the elevators and in the bathroom during the evening. However, simply closing the bathroom door solved this completely. As a Canadian traveler, I also would have loved to see an international news channel like the BBC or CBC to complement the US-based news options. Lastly, while the lobby is a great place to relax, a few extra power plugs for phone charging would be a wonderful addition for guests.LocationThe location is unbeatable. Being on a main road made navigating the city easy. It is just a short walk to the "Hop On Hop Off" tour bus, and having a hospital nearby provides great peace of mind. It was easy to order an Uber and it was able to pull up in front of the hotel for me. Thank you to the entire team for making my vacation so comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!
"Hotel Riu Panama"
Hotel is lovely but doesn't seem to easily have accessible rooms available despite requesting weeks in advance. We were eventually accommodated in a twin room after booking a king deluxe room. Toilet in ensuite is way too low for an accessible room. Breakfast is delightful with plenty of choices. Bell boy (older chap)upset with us as we had no small bills to give for a tip, he huffed and puffed his way out of the room. I had intended to give him something later on but changed my mind!
