Very nice clean spacious rooms with great breakfast!
The stay was short but pleasant. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a wide variety od food. The pool seemed kind of small for the size of the hotel. The hotel was nice and clean with a coffee shop that also offered deserts, snacks and beer unt late at night. They also have a small shopping boutique with an amazing amount of different souvenirs.
The staff was very helpful
It was my first time at this hotel we arrived earlier than the check in time, we were allowed to leave our bags while we strated to explore Panama.
The service was exceptional on my last day there was an issue with the room safe, it was rectified quickly by the staff.
The breakfast was amazing, everything was freash and beautifully presented and again the staff was helpful and very pleasant.

The staff was really good. The food was delicious and the drinks at the bar were top notch.
Very efficient check in and service. The breakfast buffet was great and never overcrowded even on a busy family holiday. Great location with an awesome view
Amazing stay at the Riu Plaza. The breakfast was incredible. Dinners and lunches at the other hotel restaurants were also delicious. Rooms are big, very quiet, we slept really well. Great location. Will stay here again the next time we come to Panama!
