I have been coming here every year for the past 9 years and love it! This hotel was rebuilt around Y2K and although its is ready for some exterior paint and maint., Its interior remains in pristine condition. I stay here for 4 weeks and fish the back waters of the canal on a weekly basis. I use the same... More

I have stayed in a variety of hotels from cheap tp expensive and this was the absolute worst. I always take reviews at face value but these were acurate. Musty, mouldy, stinky,run down, out of the way. Just plain scary. We thought it wouldbe between the 2 airports but wasnt anywhere near. My children were afraid and kept saying they... More

I got a very good deal on the rooms at this hotel so, notwithstanding the warnings, decided to take my chances. I am glad I did. First, this is a hotel you should have a car to stay it. It's about 8 km from Panama City, and a couple kilometers from the nearest grocery store, etc. Second, it's a little... More

My husband choose the avalon because was to be a romantic place with the green forest view , never mind romantic, we couldn't even step on the balcony because was full on junk. Place is too far from everything, downtown, the malls, the place is old and smells bad, We had breakfast included and the first day we went down... More

Place is too far from everything, downtown, the malls, the canal. Get a cab is difficult and kind of dangerous because you have to get one on a freeway. People at the hotel wont call one for you, I had to grab my own bags, nobody went to pick us up to the airport (we paid for it). the place... More

I tend to ignore traveler reviews because of course expectations vary from person to person,BUT, the majority of reviews I've read were correct. Huge room..Yes! Comfortable bed..Yes! No Hot water.. correct! The whole hotel had a terrible musty smell to it...the majority of this hotel is closed down. We took a tour of the different floors and found bare wires,... More

This has to be one of the largest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in! Even with two extra large king-beds, I still had enough room left over to go jogging if I had wanted to. But that is not important, really, the bed was so comfortable, the people were really friendly, and I had a nice breakfast. My only... More

When I walked into our room I was dumbfounded at the shear size!! You could have fit 20 queen size beds in there. It had great furniture and and updated and very clean bathroom. The wifi worked great (but you had to go out in the hall) The beds and linens were clean and I got very good sleep. On... More

Perhaps the hotel can't help the fact that it's in the middle of no where. A taxi ride into Panama will cost you US$30 each way, the city airport is 30 minutes away and the Internatinal Aiport a solid 45 minutes. We stayed there for one night in July which was low season. The hotel almost seemed shut down. The... More
