Tocumen Vacations from $842

The Villa Marina Hotel is an older property with only nine rooms. Overall the property is nice and well maintained. With the price they can’t invest a great amount in the infrastructure and stay in business. The grass area would benefit from expansion, this would reduce mud; between mud and black sand the room and patio get a bit dirty. Also a stone or brick base near the outside shower would be good. In a perfect world, bricks to the beach. The rocks are sharp. The food menu is somewhat limited, but that seems true in the entire town. Difficult to find Gluten Free. The food quality is good. Prices are about average. The drink menu is extensive and prices are good. Pros: Room is well equipped Housekeeping is very good On the beach Short walk along beach to town Beautiful sunsets Swimming pool is nice Staff are helpful and very friendly A new poolside bar is coming The grocery store in town is wonderful. Cons: The music on weekends and some other days from dusk until 04:00 AM is unacceptable. This is nearly a km up the beach and it is still loud and doesn’t allow for good sleep. A great deal of development is occurring. The little surf town will likely see some big changes. Potentially Stingrays and Sea-snakes in area. Saw a couple of sea snakes on beach. Shuffle when walking in water is recommended. Did not hear of any bites or stings. At least 30 minutes to nearest hospital, although, I understand there are some trained locals in medical aid and an AED.

The perfect place to stay and enjoy Casco Viejo. Right on the plaza so there is a lot of activity at night. The Panama Canal museum is adjacent and very interesting to see before you to visit the canal.

Clean and convenient

Clean rooms, fresh breakfast, outdoor pool and bar great.

Mi reserva tenía desayuno incluido, fuimos por los juegos panamericanos de la juvenrud, el desayuno es a partir de las 07h00 el personal lo tiene listo, un entrenador que debía salir a las 07h00 no lo dejaron servirse nada, porque esta escrito en piedra que si o si empieza a las 07h00 no les costaba nada ni le interrumpia a nadie que el que se sirva lo que ya esta preparado, era del Perú el coach, el necesitaba salir comiendo algo, en la piscina no iba a encontrar comida, que pesimo servicio para el visitante. Personalmente pedí me ayuden con un batido al que yo iba a entregar los alimentos, voy desde Ecuador y es el primer hotel de todos los que me hospedado que su personal no puede ayudar con un batido, es decir no puedes siempre andar a llevar una licuadora. Un día quisimos llevar un sanduche que no lo comimos ese momento y solo nos habíamos servido 2 huevos, y nos dijeron que esta prohibido sacar alimentos del restaurante y que iban a botar ese sanduche. Es decir tienen dinero para desperdiciar. Nada serviciales, no es un hotel adecuado para recibir huéspedes que a las 07h00 ya tienen que estar fuera del mismo. Se entiende que sirve si tus planes son pasado las 08h00 de la mañana.
