The positives of this hotel is the convenience to next door casino, next door fiesta club and 24- hr food next door too. The pool is nice....we got kicked out of the pool area the second day because of removal of a bee hive. They were nice about it. The pool is heated at night which is a plus. The... More

The hotel is very big, very crowded, yet the staff give just enough attention to make your stay a little bit more comfortable. I understand the weather is very hot in Panamá, but the air conditioning in the lobby is rather exaggerated. Breakfast is very good, and there is a person making omelets non-stop. More

We were fortunate to stay in the cabanas at the bottom of the pool area. The rooms are very spacious and comes with a balcony. Great access to the pool and bar areas. The food was great and the service we received excellent. More

When my wife and I travel far from home to other countries (which is not that often), we hope for lodging experiences that are intimate and reflective of the areas we're visiting. For our stay at El Panama, it was at the beginning and end of a two-week O.A.T.-sponsored trip to many, many areas in and around Panama. For this... More

Our room was clean, large and comfortable. There were some signs of wear but overall our room was quite acceptable. Our room phone however had the message light blinking and the message box was totally full with messages dating back to the previous month. The room safe had been left in a locked position. Phone messages should be cleared with... More

Sometimes you think that horrible reviews can't be true-believe the ones here! Bed bugs, jack hammers throughout the night, horrible service, it is all true. I spent four night here in January. Someone in our party got a room with bed bugs - stay away from rooms on the first floor, which aren't yet renovated. They should not be putting... More

We stayed at the El Panama slightly off season. Not very crowded. The swimmingpool was beautiful and the room very spacious. The best part was the outstanding breakfast buffet which had it all. More

We arrived Dec 16 after 11:00 PM because of a flight delay. Check in time is at 3:00 PM so we were sure everything was ready for us. It was almost impossible to communicate with the front desk clerk because there was a big graduation party going on so the music was very loud. They assigned us room #408. When... More

Hotel is undergoing major renovation and the pool was closed. The lobby of the hotel was brand new and tastefully decorated. The room still had some old furniture however the bathroom was new. Hotel is well located in downtown and breakfast was very good. More
