The breakfast buffet was huge. Lots of options. The hotel rooms need updating. The room has a frosted glass wall which meant the whole room would light up if you has the light on in the bathroom. The AC didn’t cool as much as we would have liked. Both the hallway and room felt damp and humid. Carpet needed a good cleaning.

The hotel itself was amazing.. Yet the maintenance does not do well with upkeep.. I had to change rooms 5 minutes upon arrival.. The moisture in the room was unbearable.. I got an upper floor because I wanted a few of this beautiful city.. However the moisture in the room was forming mold in the bathtub.. My cousin accompanied me and she had to ask for a humidifier.. Which was broken.. She then had it replaced, only for them to put the broken one in the hallway.. Which did nothing.. Because it was broken.. The breakfast was a 10/10.. The servers were exceptional.. All in all I will return back to Panama.. However this particular hotel will not be an option..
