We have stayed many times!! Staff is very friendly & helpful, especially the front desk!! Very large pool which is well maintained. Nice garden area around pool. Restaurants have great food at reasonable prices, and staff is professional and accommodating!! Great breakfast buffet. As it turned out, we happened to stay for Panama "Mother's Day". Dec 8th is a national holiday; most businesses are closed. They had a special lunch buffet which was excellent!! It even included a glass of sparkling wine and red rose for the Mothers!! Good location & free shuttle to/from airport.

All good!!!

Very clean, friendly staff, good food, and extremely convenient . Great shuttle service to and from the airport. Very comfortable mattress and linens.

Would have given 10 stars, but a/c was off in the room. Understand the cost of electricity, but they should have someone turn it on once they know the room assignment. It was very hot for about an hour 1/2. I would have also preferred a handheld shower head option.

Breakfast Cafe, Italian (Pizza & Pasta), and BBQ/Bar Restaurant on ground floor, right next to a beautiful swimming pool. We enjoyed breakfast here on two different days, and dinner at the BBQ Restaurant - All the meals were excellent. All the staff were polite and helpful, and hotel provided free parking and WiFi. Bonus - Casino across the street - plenty of ATMs, even when all the others were out of cash on Sunday night. Nice clean air conditioned room ,plenty of hot water, and a comfortable king sized bed. A+

The doors of the rooms are very original. The breakfast was good and the attention at the restaurant was very good

Today, Sunday March 13 there was no water in the room, one of our rooms the bathroom floated yesterday and has a very slow flush. They have a very old but very old decoration, no remodeling in the rooms, very antique. They have like very old paintings in the hall that they have $200.00 or $300.00 and they are damage, with holes, old and with a lot of dust.

I loved the pool and the area around the pool. You could relax in the pool or in the chairs around the pool. There were nice shady areas to relax as well. It was beautifully landscaped. The breakfast was nice enough.

The recliner in my room needed to be replaced. There had been a hole in the middle and it was repaired badly. You could feel the springs when you sat down.

Aside from the very professional and friendly staff, I enjoyed the large pool and well equipped fitness center. Was VERY pleased to see that the breakfast offered me a choice of one of 3 “set menus”….with additional choices within each one. On-site Pizzeria / Resatuarant had exceptional selection.

I enjoyed my multiple-day stay.

Easy to find an has everything you need. Rooms where clean spacious with medium sized bathroom.

The hotel is a little dated and can use some paint and new materials in a couples places. Wouldn’t recommend the so called Italian restaurant inside the hotel.

The pool area and outdoor restaurant areas are relaxing. The room had a very comfortable bed. The staff are friendly and the breakfast is very good. Will always come back to this hotel been before and it’s one of my favourites.

There was not much hot water. The maintenance team were fixing it.

The location was central to everything. Even though it was downtown, the interior courtyard, restaurant, and pool area was a quiet and welcoming oasis. The outdoor restaurant offered a variety of meat and seafood options cooked on an open fire oven. Great, smoky flavor. The inside restaurant had a filling breakfast each morning and amazing pizza. The staff was very welcoming from the front desk to the cleaning attendants. Would recommend this hotel highly. Will definitely stay here again when I am back in David.

Honestly, there was nothing not to like.
