The staff goes above and beyond to ensure you are having a comfortable stay. They really made me feel special as I was celebrating my birthday during the stay. Loved having a balcony. Only con is that breakfast starts to get boring as it’s a limited menu.
Avni, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a delight! From the moment you step into the lobby, to when we left, our whole stay was purely wonderful. Staff were courteous, and not in your way too much, the turn down service was lovely especially after returning from an excursion, and the Diptyque bathroom items were pure luxury. A wonderful stay that made Panama even more mesmerizing.
