Impeccable Service from Beginning to End

From check-in to check-out, our stay was impeccably good. Gabriel and Leonardo, who valeted our rental, greeted us with courtesy and professionalism. Josue checked us in and provided all the necessary information to have our stay go smoothly. Again, courteous and professional. Breakfast was fresh, tasty and there were a variety of stations. Service was provided so helpfully by Stephany and Moises. They never wanted you to lift a finger. There were other servers whose names I don't remember, but they, too, should be included in this review as outstanding. Axel and Blanca during our evening cocktail hour were fun and gave such good recommendations on the tapas. Everything was excellent. The building itself was a little older, but the accommodations were clean and the sheets fresh. Nice touch with the turndown service and macaroons that was supposed to give us "sweet dreams". Bottom line: you can't go wrong with a stay at the Bristol. Should we ever return to Panamá City, we would love to stay here again.
