The only thing that I didn’t like was that you don’t provide enough water, only 2 bottles of water in a hot city is kind of cheap.

It was good for the price. They have very very strict rules with bookings & only allow legal passport names to be used. That made some things tough. But overall, most of the staff was super nice and helpful. And the hotel was nice

The Staff is excellent, and the breakfast is amazing. The lobby area is always clean and smells great. The only bad thing about my stay was that there weren't any microwaves on the property (first-world problems, lol). For some travelers, that isn't a big issue. Overall still a 10/10! Definitely would recommend this hotel to everyone!!!

The property was a little bit disappointing. The room we were in smelled of meldew. The bedroom not so much, but the living room area was bad. Great space which i did love in the excutive suit. The daily lounge lacked good snacks. The bar on the facility was not open until late night hrs. Pool bar is open. The morning buffet offered a variety of foods. Staff was nice housekeeping was sweet. Overall, one time stay, and off to another hotel. Love Panamá

The Riu is the BEST hotel I've ever stayed in!! We stayed in a Senior Suite on the 33rd floor - Great View! I never even felt like I was in a Hotel! The property was clean and quiet. We ate in the main restaurant and ordered room service. That food was fantastic with both services. The staff and services were superb!
