Top Panama Canal Zone Hotel Reviews

Hotel Faranda Express Soloy and Casino, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay"

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Panama Punta Pacifica

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean. The breakfast..expected to see waffles more but we only had it for 1 day but everyday the meats were different. One day steak, the other chirozo etc. Staff was efficient. General toilet needed attending too a bit more than usual but once they were aware they didn't hesitate. Loved the fact they kept our bags after we checked out so we had a day to do what we wanted without having to lug our suitcases around before leaving for the airport."

Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

8/10 Good

"First of all the breakfast was amazingly delicious. The different types of food that I have never eaten was surprisingly good. This is what a "buffet" is. The staff was very friendly and helpful especially translating for us and assisting with helping to order our food. Rooms are clean had to get maintenance to change the television to English but very accommodating. Would definitely like to come back. There are shops and eatery's along the strip but we didn't had a chance to explore. Thank you for the lovely time that we have spent there."

Crowne Plaza Panama Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely pool. Great hotel and room. Comfortable beds. Nice modern vibe and spacious lobby"

The Executive Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Shops were nearby and the staff were very helpful!!"

Aloft by Marriott Panama

8/10 Good

"The only thing that was good is good restaurant was their hamburger. Check in was long at 9:45 at night."

Riande Aeropuerto Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Only had a little problem with the internet single was in and out sometimes."

Dreams Playa Bonita Panama - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was very nice, especially the beautiful pool area, bars, and overall resort atmosphere. However, the location is quite far from the city, with very little to do outside the resort. Breakfast was average, with the usual standard options. Dinner was a bit disappointing, as the menu was very repetitive, with little variety from night to night. The rooms were somewhat outdated and had an unpleasant, old smell, which could definitely use some improvement."

Decapolis Hotel Panama City

8/10 Good

"Food was limited, but I enjoyed our stay ..3"
