Most of the staff appeared warm. The breakfast options was not bad. I requested an eggless omlette but the chef still used the spatula from the other orders with egg to prepare my eggless order. The e-sim plan I had did not work while in Panama for some reason & to my luck, the hotel WiFi was not available. I was told the WiFi is being worked on for the duration of my stay. There was two front desk ladies who were extremely helpful in trying to improve my stay & they shared their personal Wi-Fi to help with requesting transportation & flight check-ins. The room was dirty & appeared to have not been dusted in ages. The bathroom had areas of what appeared to be mold. Videos were taken & shared with front desk staff

The ambience at this hotel was lovely but the room was underwhelming. The cupboard on my minibar was rotting, the shower lining was moldy (apparently from wet silicone) and my bed was sunken in the middle. While the hotel staff was nice and the food was good, This is not somewhere that I would stay again.
