Top Cativa Hotel Reviews

Radisson Colon 2000 Hotel & Casino at Cruise Port & Duty Free Mall

Radisson Colon 2000 Hotel & Casino at Cruise Port & Duty Free Mall

8/10 Good
"We stayed here 3 nights before boarding our cruise. The rooms were clean and the AC was cold which was nice. The lobby smelled old and musty but looked clean. This property was close to everything, shopping mall and the free zone and the cruise port we were make to walk there. Can’t speak much to the amenities since we didn’t use them."

Hotel Andros

8/10 Good
"Hotel Andros is a nice hotel--well kept and managed. It is in a rough portion of the city. But, the rooms were spacious and clean. The A/C worked well in the rooms. The only thing is that the A/C is not out in the common areas. The convenient access to the attached restaurant is a very nice plus and it is in a very convenient location for those needing to access the center of Colon."

"Was alone most of the time, only person running the restaurant was around. Good food. Not really good beach, hard rocks underfoot in water. Town doesn’t have much to say for itself. But if you want tropical quiet then this is the place."
