The rooms here are absolutely disgusting...the hotel's location and service is okay, though. Even though I booked an Executive Level room in the main tower reasonably ahead of time...and was traveling solo, I was given a room with two double beds. There was blood on my sheets, a filthy tile bathroom floor, discolored paint, light bulbs that needed to be... more

After searching reviews for our four night stay in Panama City, we decided on El Panama. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay again if visiting Panama City. Comments: 1) We had a cabana room. These rooms open out to the pool and include a small table and chairs. It rained two afternoons, and we enjoyed sitting outside... more

The hotel itself is in a great location downtown and close to many local shops and restaurants withing walking distance. Inside the hotel is a casino and work center for you to access the Internet, faxes, copiers, etc.. The pool, which is very nice, is located in the center courtyard and has a pool bar which you can swim up... more

Great hotel in the heart of Panama City. It has a casino, great pool setup, nice restaurants, wireless internet, and a fantastic price. You should make your booking on the hotel website. You will the best rates there. Plus you get breakfast for free if you book through their website. And the breakfast buffet is really good too! You can... more

I stayed 3 nights at the end of July. The hotel is very well run: Clean, great staff, full service. The breakfast buffet is excellent. I thought my room was great, but the previous commenter is correct that the windows are single pane (I actually went to close it when I got in and heard traffic below only to find... more

I absolutely loved my stay at the El Panama June 11 - June 15 2008. You may read one or two negative reviews on the hotel but I personally can't relate to these. The hotel is situated about 25 minutes from the airport in the El Cangrejo district which is basically the new center of town. There are restaurants, casinos,... more

Stayed one night at the El Panama Hotel between flights. The hotel is centrally located in downtown Panama City about a 30 minute drive from the airport. The hotel itself is very eye catching. It has an open lobby like a hotel in Hawaii, the staff is very friendly and the pool/restaurant area is very pretty. Free breakfast is provided... more

Just got back from a 3 night stay at El Panama with my girlfried. It was a welcome change from the 2 star hotel we were in the first two nights in the city. The hotel had a wonderful tropical feel which I loved. The breakfast was great (I gained at least 5 pounds from this alone) and the staff... more

We stayed at El Panama from 31 December 2007 to 2 January 2008. We found that the hotel is like a resort: the rooms are air conditioned, the hallways are open air. Everyone on staff was very polite. Check in was very quick, we waited until the crowd that came at check in time (3 p.m.) had left. We found... more

I stayed 5 nights at El Panama hotel, as a panamanian returning home for the holidays. I stayed on the executive floor (6th) - toilet didn't work in the first room we were assigned to, and we were assigned another room after numerous calls to complain. Maintenance came a few times but did not repair the toilet despite their multiple... more
