Eastern Panama Vacations from $685

This is a classic, elegant property that lives up to its reputation. Quality in every regard. On par with some of the finest historic hotels in the country (and I’ve stayed at a few).

perfect location and city. Only comment is the supervisor, a short gentleman, is very aggressive and rude. Shoutout to Barbara, Rene and Jose.

This was my first visit to Panama, along with my husband. The front desk staff were excellent and so helpful. I can't speak enough about how great they were. I almost hated to leave. Overall, the hotel was very clean but like others said, the AC was a bit noisy, but it didn't prevent us from sleeping soundly. The shower door didn't close all the day which led some of the water to spill out onto the floor. Having no elevator caused us to struggle walking up to the top floor carrying groceries, but I knew what I was getting into when I booked the hotel. We had a fully functioning kitchen with a microwave, utensils. plates and pots. We cooked breakfast several times, which saved us money. Overall, the people are friendly and didn't hesitate to speak to us. Too bad there were so many areas we just didn't get a chance to see because we were only there 4 days. Casco Viejo is a great little area with a heavy police presence. I want to believe that they simply want to keep the tourists safe. On one of our walks, we took a turn off Santa Anna and we sensed quickly the atmosphere changed to freakishly scary and sketchy. We forgot which block we came down which caused me to get nervous. Just then, we saw the police slowly following us in a marked truck. I was so glad to see them. They followed us for a block until we ended up back at our checkpoint. My advice to you, stay in the tourist areas and don't look so much like a tourist.
