The hotel did what it was supposed to. The breakfast buffet was definitely a great option, it’s very extensive. Menu doesn’t vary day by day. The hotel was clean, I sanitize and wipe hotels when I stay in them, and housekeeping was always available and friendly The hotel wasn’t 5 star but it definitely wasn’t bottom of the barrel, I would stay again. They have a pool, bar, and a great location, we were a short Uber ride to lots of restaurants and stuff. I’m not sure, as this was my first time in Panama, but the hotel was like moist. The ac was on, we switched rooms two days into stay because ours went out, but it remained moist in the air. It blows and we weren’t hot so no biggie to me. Overall great experience. Unless im on a staycation and I don’t plan on leaving hotel grounds I don’t spend much on hotels. I get what’s clean and serves its purpose Oh and they have pretty decent security. You have to give your room number to use the elevators on top of using a key card to start the elevators. And security was out front as well. I liked that. Thanks Riu !

The continental breakfast was amazing so many different options, totally unexpected. The staff. Is very friendly and accommodating. My only problem was that I wish the staff spoke more fluent English, especially since the hotel is in tourist areas of the city.
