We were initially disappointed with this property. It has limited amenities, rooms are not large. But the bathrooms are very nice. The hot tub was not warm, the steam room did not work. There was no gift shop. It just didn’t seem like a luxury hotel. But the people who work there are exceptional. They are warm, friendly and extremely helpful. They go out of their way to make your stay special. They made me overlook some of my initial reaction. Because they were all 5 star. What the hotel lacked, the staff made up for. The spa was pretty special too. I had a wonderful massage in a very relaxing environment that smelled wonderful.

Standard but little higher

Pros: Breakfast buffet
Cons: Ice Buckets and iron Limited Laundry service, have to wait all day for your cloth, your are at Waldorf Astoria, service has to be excellent.
Location: Miss ocean view
Nothing above normal, price a little higher for my opinion, Have a great Breakfast Buffet for a very good price. Next time will request an upgrade.

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your recent visit and for sharing your experience with other travelers. We will be happy to host you again in our hotel. Kind regards. Claudia Arias

Good option

Pros: location, decor and overall experience was good.
Cons: higher standard of service
Location: several good restaurants nearby, Soho Mall, nice grocery store across the street
I could find the WA standard in the decor and overall condition. Good location with restaurants nearby and safe. I think they can improve in the breakfast. I only found a buffet, should have "a la carte " option . Maybe the half empty floor did not help as well. As everything else in PTY, if they improve the quality of service, they will take the tourism business in the region. I lived there for a couple of years and you get crazy if you do not have patience, Training, training and training is the key word for Panamanian service providers.

Best place to stay

The people were extremely nice the hotel was luxurious not too far from the airport in the center of the city and not too far from the touristy and historical place they had a nice pool and a lot of things that contribute to its five star rating and the breakfast was hands-down the best part
