I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the pool area and service were outstanding, I found the dining options to be overpriced and the rooms a bit lacking in features and sound insulation. The location is decent, but noise from events can be an issue. Overall, it's worth considering if you're after great service and a nice pool, but be prepared for some downsides in dining and room comfort.

Overall, my experience at Hotel El Panama was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, making it a decent value for money. However, the loud concerts and disturbances overshadowed the stay. While the dining options were satisfactory, the noise levels made meals less enjoyable. It's a great hotel if you can avoid the loud events, but that's a significant downside.

I had a pleasant stay overall, with some service highlights and room options that worked well for my family. The staff, particularly Cristian, went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. However, the hotel appeared dated in many areas, with several maintenance issues that need addressing. Dining options were quite limited and not very appealing. On the bright side, the pool area was enjoyable for kids, making it a fun experience during our visit.

The hotel offers a great experience with spacious cabana rooms and a lively atmosphere, ideal for both relaxation and celebration. The breakfast buffet is extensive and fresh, though the dining options, especially at the sushi bar, may not suit all tastes. While my overall stay was enjoyable, the noise level from events can be disruptive, especially for families seeking a quiet night's sleep.
