The room was much smaller than seemed in pics. We had issues with the door lock and the maintenance men were great but after 3 days they had to change the locks. Just know before you come this is an old buliding and the room is small.

First room we walked in was musty smelling! Smoke detector would go off every 5 minutes and the fridge didnt work. Was accomodated to another room...the smell of musty was horrendous, had to go to walmart to purchase freshners and a fan. The shower one day had no hot water. The elevator broke down for a period of time and we were on the 5th floor ugh. The smell of trash around the outside was strong. We made the best of it! Is all we could do. Will never return to that location! Nor reccomed it to anyone.

Good location on the beach. There is limited parking at the hotel. Additional parking was across the street and it wasnt always easy crossing and getting in and out of that parking area. But for an older hotel, it was a good place to stay right on the beach with a view!

Amazing !! This was my first trip - considering I am younger - without my family and it was just me and my boyfriend and we lovedddd it!! Clean and everything around it was amazing!! The only problem was how loud it gets in Panama but that truly is only because it was spring break season, therefore lots of younger people come out and are just louder! Overall 10/10 and so much fun!!

Had beautiful views, but the rooms were a little banged up and needed repairs or updates. Bathroom tub wasnt dirty but so old and paint peeling off it looked disgusting. Walls needed repainted and cabinet fixed or updated. The only elevator broke down so not good when youbhave an elderly person with you on the 5th floor but they did get repaired within a few hours. Overall nice room with great views for the cost.

Birthday getaway

Had couple of issues but was quickly resolve by hotels. Com and the front lady name Vicky. Was put on the wrong room but next day Vicky was able to accommodate me and my husband on a better room that it was actually reserved. The hotel was nice, atmosphere was great, The view on the beachfront balcony was amazing after we was moved. Overall I had an amazing birthday weekend. Ps not the greatest weather but we still manage to have a great time and when we arrived was the last day of certain spring breakers

The room was not what I reserved but the manager did offer to move us or we stay in the room for 25 percent off our stay. The remote control had tape over the back when they should have replaced it. The property is a little run down but the view makes up for it and we were not in the room much anyway.

Initially they gave us the most unusual Room I ever walked into. When you opened the Front Door to the Room, 1 of the Queen Beds was rith there, in a small non-discript space. Then you walked into a much larger Room with the other Queen Bed. I immediately returned to the Front Desk and voiced my objections. They did move us to anither Room, but gave me a really hard time about it. The Room, Doors and Walls were all dirty and in disepair. You should take this off of your Hotels List !!!
