First of all, do not book this hotel if you want to be in Panama City. It's far outside the city (about a 10-20 dollar cab ride depending on how you bargain). Second, the location is not great at all - its surounded by strip malls and a highway passes right by. If you want a more authentic rainforest experience... More

We've stayed at other Avalon resorts, and this one was something other than what we expected, even after reading all of the reviews before going. Let's start with the positives: 1. Hotel staff was great, very friendly (even though I had trouble communicating most of the time due to my limited Spanish). 2. Food was good. 3. Grounds were fun... More

We stayed at the Avalon. The room was spacious, it was away from the busy streets secluded in trees which was nice. More

the trip to panama was awsome. the resort has many issues. lots of employees standing around doing nothing. i had to clean the pool myself when i used it. the resort needs alot of clean up all over it is sad, because at one time someone paid alot of money building this resort and the grounds. now the management is...

The rooms were large, 2 king size beds. Be prepared to pay LOTS for transportation. $40 from the airport, $40 to the airport, $40 to the Panama Canal, and at least $20 other places. There is absolutely nothing to do because you can't just walk down the street from the hotel and find something to eat, etc. The food was... More

i would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Panama City, the service, rooms, and value of the hotel were excellent. We were always greeted with a smile and all the staff were very helpful. It is a beautiful hotel, very clean and with a really good restaurant. More

The hotel itself was nice. It has a large water park and a reasonably priced restaurant. The rooms are large and somewhat clean. However, the safes in the rooms did not work and someone was able to steal money from my room. I asked management to address the issue but they couldn't care less. They told me that I should... More

I read other reviews of this hotel and even tried to change our reservation through the timeshare, but couldn't. I'm glad we didn't. We also had trouble navigating from the airport with our rental car...good luck finding a good street map of Panama City! After getting VERY lost the first couple of days...it got a lot better. I agree the... More

My family stayed at this hotel from July 24-28. We booked this hotel b/c of the kids. (waterpark) What they don't tell you it that it is only opened on Saturday and it is not clean. The rooms are clean and very big. The food by far is the worst I've ever had. We travel to all inclusive resort ever... More
