The Executive Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was good, nice breakfast, the 2 lights in my room sitting area wasnt working, but great experience 👍"

TRYP by Wyndham Panamá Centro

10/10 Excellent

"It was close to the metro station El Carmen Iglesia about 5 minutes walk. Shops and restaurants on the street so didn’t have to go too far. It’s about an hour on the metro from the airport and about 30 minutes by uber or taxi. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Didn’t use the pool but seemed to be well maintained as well. Breakfast was your standard continental with a few Panamanian additions. It was well stocked and allowed you to fuel your morning activities. We had an early checkout and they were nice enough to have a packed breakfast for us to take along, this was appreciated a lot especially by my young children. It’s in a lively area and quite busy at times, so didn’t feel unsafe at all."

Waymore Hotel Spa & Casino

8/10 Good

"There are many good things to say about this property. The front desk staff is amazing, the location is good, and the rooms are freshly renovated. However, there are multiple issues that I recommend management should look into: - Rooms: the mattresses were extra firm (an interesting choice), and they had the most bizarre sheet situation: an open-sheet duvet where the cover easily slid off (nothing holding it in place), and no fitted sheet. I’m sure it makes housekeeping’s job easier, but it would also slide off and we would end up sleeping directly on the mattress. Regarding the bathroom, the toilet choice was very poor. Instead of a normal push button to flush, it was retrofitted with a foot lever (akin to ones found in public restrooms) which was placed between the toilet and the shower door. Every flush required coordination not to slip. And they didn’t leave a single extra roll of toilet paper. Pretty disappointing. - Property: the elevators are in really poor shape. - Dining: I hope you don’t have any allergies or intolerances, because not only is nothing labeled on the menu, sometimes dishes came with bonus ingredients that shouldn’t have been there and weren’t listed in the description. There were only two vegan options available in the room service menu— a fruit platter and a soup, and I’m not even sure the soup was vegan. I had to explain to a staff member that butter is dairy. You work in hospitality/tourism, so this is unacceptable. Food allergies can ruin a trip."

Hotel El Panama by Faranda Grand, a member of Radisson Individuals

8/10 Good

"We were on holiday and We did not want a housekeeper coming in to clean everyday. When we wanted towels or amenities, we asked the housekeeper who was in the flor at the time. We had a few challenges in the beginning with our bathroom and the drainage but that was rectified. The staff was very accomodating and pleasant. The only thing we missed was having a microwave. A recommendation would be to place one on every floor so that guests could use it if they need any thing heated. There was a wide variety for breakfast so we choose what we wanted for our stay. All in all it was a good stay."
