Waymore Hotel Spa & Casino

6/10 Okay

"The hotel looked amazing and the pool and casino! The staff was not very friendly even when speaking in Spanish . The room was nice but I had to speak to management several times about the soap , conditioner , and shampoo dispensers missing upon my arrival. I was Told bar soap was only an option at first which is ridiculous as the dispensers just needed to be replaced or filled up for the one I have . Management was ok but the actual workers from the casino restaraunt were not very pleasing to speak with . Great thing is security was all around the hotel ! Could be due to the legal prostitution but I felt Safe 24 hours around "

Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

8/10 Good

"Rooms clean, though musty smell in the room initially, once the AC was turned on the smell went away. We had to ask for x-tra pillows, only one pillow each, found blanket in the closet. The breakfast was great, nice variety. Staff friendly. They need more entertainment for guest, only provided a violinist & Mariachi group while there & it appeared only for dining guests by the pool area."

Hampton by Hilton Panama

4/10 Poor

"The lobby área was good but the room was in need of an update. The fabric on the chair was nearly worn through. The wood furniture was badly scratched. The tile floor even had a gash in it. The air conditioner work initially but it was too cold. Then it stopped working altogether. No response from the staff. The elevator worked well but were very slow. Most of the electronic equipment in the gym was out of order. The Panamanian-style breakfast was good. The location was great, but there must be better properties to choose from. "

TRYP by Wyndham Panamá Centro

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was excellent—the staff was welcoming, professional, and made the process smooth. The room was clean, comfortable, and met expectations. The hotel is a bit older, but it looks like they’re in the process of renovating, which is a good sign. One downside was that the pool wasn’t open during my stay due to the renovations. The bar area seemed like a fun spot to hang out, and overall the hotel offers good value for the price. I would definitely stay here again if I needed a place in the area. "
