Excellent area. The staff were the best on all levels. Super friendly, always smiling, and willing to help with anything. This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The only reason I did not gave them an excellent rating was because of the restaurant. Not a lot of choices on the menu and they were out of fish for a few days. The name Panama means abundance of fish, so there was no excuse to be out of fish. I was bored and raised there, so I know there is fish. Again, the staff was excellent.

The best thing from this is there staff: very friendly and ready to make your life easy. The Breakfast is very good with a omelet station and every day diferente hot breakfast. Inside is always clean, outside it's not that nice like in the pictures from the hotel that was a little disappointed for me. But I can't complain at all for the service, room and food so they make it up to be a very enjoyable vacation for us. In less than 5 minutes you can walk from the hotel to the metro station via Argentina, from there you can get to malls and even the airport!! So it's on a great location with a few options to eat right there.
