A place of worship for some, Church of Saint Barbara is worth checking out, irrespective of your spiritual beliefs. Find out if this holy sanctuary is open to visitors for the perfect pause from your exhausting sightseeing itinerary.

This house of prayer is often on the itineraries of visitors to Zona Colonial. But Church of Saint Barbara isn't the only drawcard here. Centro Olimpico, Columbus Park, and Colon Lighthouse and Museum are some other recommended attractions nearby.

Some staff. Not all but most people staff are not friendly. They act like they are doing vacationers a favor. They should all be trained to be friendly and positive in order to provide a good experience for travelers

The property is very dated, and needs to be refreshed. The doors of our room didn't shut properly, leaving a gap for bugs to come in. We rarely got hot water in our showers, and most of the staff didn't speak english. (I'm aware this is a Spanish speaking country, but when you have a plethora of international guests, there should be more English speaking staff).
