I have stayed there for the last 4 years when on business and always have a great stay. Breakfast is the best part. The staff is friendly and it is a very busy place at times. The only thing I would say was a negative for me personally was the bed, it was very hard and I had difficulty sleeping on it. Otherwise bring a bar of soap as they only have a liquid in a bottle.

The only thing I don’t like we’ve to do valet parking, and have to pay and wait, on busy days the wait is sometimes longer

First off the place smells amazing!!!! Check in was a breeze with friendly staff. Hooking into internet was a hassle! My husband was finally able to connect but I never did connect. Breakfast was good but staff was slow with water and coffee. For the price it’s a very good stay.

The room was nice, but the bed had no comforters and needed more pillows.
The 3 elevators are not enough for the upper floors of the building, you always had to wait, and sometimes only 2 elevators worked for so many people staying.

In general, the hotel is ok. It’s quit old I think and it's carpet on the floor. Because of that, it was a bad smell in the room. Location is next to a street with heavy traffick, so a lot of noise. I asked for one or two hour late checkout, but they didn't give me. If I go back to Panama, I will find a different hotel for sure.

The interior of the hotel is nice. The room was ok. The view was nice. I could see the city and the ocean. The tv only had shows in Spanish and that was disappointing. This Riu lacked entertainment. Other Riu hotels I’ve stayed in always had lots of entertainment and some were AI. The restaurant/bar 50 Studio was cool. The food was decent and the drinks were on point. I would stay again because it was conveniently located in the city for walking to shops and restaurants. I would just like more entertainment options.

Wonderful hotel with every amenity you could ask for. Restaurants and bars were well staffed and clean. Overall facility could use a refresh. Room was immaculate and stayed that way for our entire stay. Housekeeping manager introduced herself while we were on elevator together and inquired about our room and its cleanliness. WiFi worked flawlessly. View of parking garage in the pool area is disappointing as it appears dirty and obtrusive. Perfect place for a mural or at least have it painted since that is all you can see from the pool area. Immediate area surrounding the hotel has limited options for eating and entertainment. Nothing negative enough to prevent staying there again.

Riu Panama is an excellent choice for a home away from experience. Hotel was very comfty, cozy and just plain amazing. Stayed for 4 nights and they did not disappoint. One of those days was my birthday and they presented me a fruit basket and a cake without me even informing them of the special event.
