Unless you have a reason to be out in the boondocks, on a very busy road, then there is no good reason to uses this hotel. Though the rooms were large and clean there is little else to commended this hotel. It is a $30 taxi ride from both the city and the airport. NOTE: It is NOT an eco-lodge.... more

After reading several reviews, I went with an open mind. (My trip to the Dominican Republic was hell so Panama couldn't be much worse.) I don't spend much time in my room...my wishes are simple. I need clean bedding, a warm shower, and a bug free zone. I chose the Avalon as a time-share exchange. The Avalon is a distance... more

We spent 2 weeks at the Avalon Grand in Panama City, Panama. The room was spacious, clean and offered a wonderful view of the Panamanian Hills. All rooms came equipped with a refridgerator and coffee maker. We would leave our balcony door open at night and be awakened the next morning by roosters and the plethora of birds! We had... more

Read the negative reviews and so was prepared for the worst.

The horns are used constantly to either “say hello” to a fellow driver or “get out of my way’ to pedestrians and other... more

We were not shown around or given a map of the place so we didn't know where alot of the things were & found them by snooping.(like the hot tub, or that you can go on a canapy... more

I totally agree with the previous reviewer. I was totally shocked when I arrived at the Avalon. it is advertised as being a slice of paradise but was more like being in some sort of nightmare. We expected to find ourselves in a 5 star resort with beautiful rooms, water park, pools, restaurants, paintballing, go karts, kids adventures etc. none... more

If you have read about the Avalon Grand Panama don't believe everything you read. The staff is great and do take care of all of your needs. The room we had was a queen and that would be the one I would recommend, as the first one we had was a king and very small room. The queen was like... more
