Awesome staff - birthday trip!

Views were AMAZING from room 705. Felt like home. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible. Also very accommodating with our early check in and late check out. Received a “surprise” plate of fruits on the first night of my stay from the manager. Close to everything that is required to fulfil daily needs (food, drinks, pharmacy etc) Would definitely recommend ⭐️✨🌟💫

À 20/25 minutes de l’aéroport bon emplacement dans Panama city. Prévoir 35/40$ de taxi par trajet. Accueil correct à l’hôtel. La chambre manque d’éclairage, trop tamisé à mon gout. Bon rapport qualité prix. Dommage concernant mon transport de l’hôtel vers l’aéroport, j’avais demandé à oayer en carte bancaire ce que la réception m’avait confirmé, malheureusement le chauffeur ne prenait pas la carte bancaire et n’avait pas de change sur un billet dec100$
