We loved the location next to Panama canal and our view from balcony to passing ships and Bridge of the Americas. The staff was very friendly from kind receptionist to attentive bartender and they were all smiling and waving to our little son (4 months) every time they saw us. Gym was airconditioned and clean, opened till 12 am, swimming pool big and refreshing with sunbeds and umbrellas all around. Breakfast (7 usd per person) rich, tasty with good selection of fruit, chicken, saussages, ham, cheese and eggs. Free luggage room (even for couple days when we flew to Bocas) and shuttle to mall nearby. A taxi or uber cost 4 dollars to the city center or the fish market (Mercado De Marisco Cinta Costera). We made a great choice to book this hotel.

“Comfortable and relaxing and good bang for your buck”

This hotel was one of the best Choice privilege points use I’ve used. We stayed in a King suite for 8,000 points a night in March 2024. The hotel sits right on the canal.

This hotel was one of the best Choice privilege points use I’ve used. We stayed in a King suite for 8,000 points a night in March 2024. The hotel sits right on the canal. We had a wonderful view from room 1304. The first night we were in room 1334. That room’s view is entirely blocked by a very large tree and the room is very musty smelling. The next six nights we moved to room 1304. You walk into a living room that has a dresser with a tv on it, a couch that is a sleeper sofa, an end table, an arm chair, and a desk. There is also a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee pot. There is a bathroom with a tub/shower and then the bedroom is at the back of the room with sliders out to the balcony. This room was not musty smelling. It was clean and comfortable and quite. It’s near the elevator but not next to it. Yes this hotel could use some updating here and there and some maintenance, but over all it’s a nice hotel for the price. The pool was very nice and enjoyable. You can get food served to you at the pool and pool towels are provided. The staff was wonderful and extremely helpful and kind. They spoke English and Spanish. They provided a lot of help with navigating the area. There is a great cafe to get coffee and sandwiches. A hotel bar, hotel restaurant, and TGI Friday on site. The breakfast Buffett is $13.98 each but it was not very flavorful. Parking was free and we felt very safe here. It was a good location near Amador Causeway and the Panama Canal and just outside the hustle and bustle of the city. I only wish they had laundry that you could use. They have laundry service but it is very expensive. You pay per article of clothing. There is not a washer and dryer that you can use on your own. There is a nice laundromat in Casco Viejo but then you have to load up your laundry and wait at the laundromat while you wash and dry. I would stay at this hotel again and we rest well here.
