The property was excellent: new, clean, good attention to detail with good amenities in the rooms. The food at the property restaurants was a little hit and miss, although that was true of Panama food as a whole. Service at the property was not great.

Best. Hotel. Ever.

I’d I could give this a hotel a 20/10 I would. Everything about it is exquisite. The staff and service are impeccable-everyone remembers your name. The property is absolutely incredible and they do free nightly hotel tours where they teach you about the history of the hotel and panama and the canal and then there is a folkloric dance and candle lighting. The pool is beyond perfection. All of the dining options are fantastic and you must try each one. The location is great! Walkable, history, shops, dining, history etc. I was devastated to leave.

An Awesome and Amazing Experience

By Far this has been the best hotel stay of my life; Pricey but worth Every Dime Spent, The Welcoming Staff, The Concierge, The Room Attendants, and The Caleta Restaurant. I don’t know who the Captain of tvis establishment but these employees are to be commended. Jesus, Marilyn, Denisse and Luis in fact everyone working in the Caleta was Superb!!!
