Where to start....

Since the minute we've got there, it was a total dissapointment, the place is not a hotel, its just a very unplanned house and they just improvised everything!

From the street, it has no visible sign so we had a very hard time finding it, even when our taxi driver was a local Panamenian! fortunaly he had a cell phone so he had to make a couple of calls to locate the place.

The street where is located is extremely noisy!! thank God I took my ear plugs with me, otherwise I just couldnt sleep at all!!! you hear the cars honking all day and all night long !! its crazy!!

There was a missing shade in one of the windows so the light was so bright inside the room since the first ray of sun!!

There wasn't any electric plugs inside the bathroom area so there was no way for me to get infront of the mirror while I use my hair iron

I asked for extra pillows, they didn't have any.

I asked for extra towels, they didn't have any.

I asked for an iron press, they didnt have ( I had to wear my clothes all wrinkled everyday of my stay)

I asked for a hair dryer, they didnt have.

I asked for an open line to make a call to a cell phone, they just couldn't.

I asked for water for God's sake!!! and they didnt have drinking water!!!! they fill you a little jar when you check in, and thats it!!! and of course I got thirsty at midnight and the neareast store was like 1 km away!!, they just said that the water was locked in the dining area and the maids were the only ones with the keys to open it, so I had to wait till morning!!

They had no Fax machine, no printer, the breakfast was terrible, oh my gosh, the list never ends!!

The girl at the reception was completely unhelpful!!! whatever I asked for, the answear was NO I can't, NO I don't know, NO I don't have... man!! I couldn't wait to get out of there!!!

Even when the pictures at their website looks chick and nice but its nothing like that, I suffered my stay in this so called "hotel"
