"Beautiful Hotel in the Heart of Casco Viejo I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It’s such a beautiful property, perfectly located in the heart of Casco Viejo. You are truly in the middle of everything — amazing restaurants, rooftop bars, shops, and all the charm and beauty that Casco Viejo has to offer. The hotel was very clean and well maintained, and the staff was wonderful — friendly, welcoming, and always helpful.

"Good hotel for families"

2 BRM Ocean Front Apart Panama Canal & Panama City

8/10 Good

"The actual condo was good with great view and was clean, but the outside of the building and amenities need a lot of work. The outside almost looks like an abandoned building. The location is fantastic and an easy walk to Isla Perico. This building could be fantastic if a new owner took over and brought it up to par. Esteban was great and really did his best to make us happy. Very nice condo and would consider it again especially if the outside is fixed."
