The hotel is located in a business-central area of Panama, so I felt safe during my visit there. It was easy to find different restaurants within walking distance. There was also a mall, a dollar store, a Starbucks, and a Panama's version of a "Kentucky Fried Chicken" within walking distance of the hotel. My room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and I rested well. I did not have a good view of the outside of the property from my room, but the inside of the room was nice. The breakfast at the hotel was exceptional. The service at the front desk and the service at the on-site restaurants was great! There was a wide (HUGE) selection of various food choices at breakfast. I was amazed daily with the breakfast choices from this resort...outstanding!!! The other restaurants on the property had a great menu selection, I enjoyed dinner at the poolside on two different occasions. My friends and I sat at the pool side area lounging and talking for hours. It was quiet and the ambiance was spectacular. There was no shortage of great food, I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel and in the country of Panama!!

The hotel is located in the city centre and has a few interesting places nearby like a pharmacy, restaurants, supermarkets, boutiques, etc. The room was spacious and comfortable. The wide array at the daily buffet breakfast was scrumptious and truly appreciated. Our flight arrived early, and while check-in wasn't until 3 pm, we were able to check-in around 1 pm after exploring the neighbourhood to pass some time. We were celebrating a birthday, and I reached out prior to arrival to see if Riu offers anything special for birthdays. They confirmed and eventually provided a complimentary amenity, which was a pleasant surprise to the celebrant. All in all, we had an enjoyable experience, and I would unreservedly recommend this place to anyone visiting Panama City.

The staff was amazing especially little Luis from the dinning room, he is such a hard worker and he goes above and beyond always happy to help. The pool was very clean and beautiful. Front desk staff was always alert and attentive, they will always hold up there heads to greet you and ask how they can help before u even get to the desk, I love that.The location was amazing as there was a ATM and a KFC right next door, there was also a burger king and a Barber shop close walking distance .

The foyer of the hotel is beautiful and the 24-hour coffee shop is wonderful to have. The staff at reception were great. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. The seating area in the room is really lovely to have. I liked the decor, but my partner was less impressed. The hotel is in the quieter financial district, which I preferred. There are plenty of good restaurants a short walk away. The restaurants in the hotel all served good food.

Breakfast was diverse. Pool was basic but very clean. The room was spacious and comfortable. Needed more English programming though and a larger tv. Staff was helpful and understanding. The hotel’s ambiance was amazing.
