Top Panama City Hotel Reviews

JW Marriott Panama

JW Marriott Panama

10/10 Excellent
"Nuestra experiencia fue excelente desde el primer momento. Llegamos a Panamá muy temprano y, para nuestra sorpresa, a las 11:30 AM ya nos habían permitido hacer el check-in. Pensábamos que nos tocaría esperar en el lobby, pero nos entregaron la habitación de inmediato, ¡un detallazo! El descanso fue increíble, las camas son súper cómodas. Además, la habitación es muy funcional: el agua caliente sale de volada y la tina se llena rapidísimo. La infinity pool está muy padre y tiene una vista de lujo. Sin duda, el servicio y la atención al cliente son de 10. ¡Totalmente recomendado!"
