The stay was short but pleasant. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a wide variety od food. The pool seemed kind of small for the size of the hotel. The hotel was nice and clean with a coffee shop that also offered deserts, snacks and beer unt late at night. They also have a small shopping boutique with an amazing amount of different souvenirs. The staff was very helpful

It was my first time at this hotel we arrived earlier than the check in time, we were allowed to leave our bags while we strated to explore Panama. The service was exceptional on my last day there was an issue with the room safe, it was rectified quickly by the staff. The breakfast was amazing, everything was freash and beautifully presented and again the staff was helpful and very pleasant.
