The hotel was great, all the amenities were perfect. Maybe due to its size, you had to wait for the elevators at times. Laundry service works as promised. Check in and check out were smooth. Only gripe I had was dust in the room which for me was an issue since I am allergic.

The hotel is beautiful. The lobby and rooms are brand new, contemporary and very stylish. However the hotel has serious engineering issues. I found the level of humidity and mildew smell high in the room and hallways, but it did not bother me too much, and I've found this to be true for other hotels in Panama. My biggest problem... More

It was love at first sight between me and RIU and I'm disappointed now that I have to admit nothing is everlasting. During my 3d visit which lasted for 10 days I was really upset that the staff failed to clean the room in the morning, they did it earliest at 3pm every day and 3 times they simply skipped... More

The newly built Riu Plaza hotel is very modern. Neat and clean. A very stylish poolarea and a huge breakfast buffet which leaves out nothing. The rooms (24th floor) are nice and very modern decorated. The hotel is within short walking distance to shopping areas, bars and restaurants. If you are going to eg. Albrook mall, do flag a taxi...

Newer hotel nice location, nice price. Mid to upper range per night, nice pool and bar. A bit pricey in the hotel shop but a nice place overall. Great staff nice rooms as well. It had a bit of an odor from humidity but an okay place to stay. Would stay again

This hotel was fantastic, five-star quality in every way. Beautiful lobby and uniquely decorated rooms. Comfortable, clean, and outstanding service. Pool was great as was the services and prices around the pool. Concierge was friendly and helped change money and give directions on a bus tour around Panama City. Shower had both a normal head and a rainhead directly above... More
