Beach Hotels in Panama District

The property has a great ocean view - at the bar and in the room. Staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Recognize Hilton Diamond members and provided great benefits. Great ocean view in the public areas and the room. We had a very good experience and think it provides excellent value. We are considering to spend a month there in the winter!!!!

Feel free to stay at this holiday Inn if you are planning to stary close to the city area. The hotel is literally in the middle of the banking area and has a subway station near by. Uber arrive fast since this is a busy area. Ideal for business stays in my opinion.

Our stay at the Residence Inn in Panama City superseded our expectations and climbed to the top of our list of favourite hotel experiences. This year, we planned our first annual Girls' Trip to Panama. Three friends. 7 days and 6 nights. 1 hotel. Let's just say that the ”maths was mathsing”. Thankfully, as our accommodation and comfort were paramount to a fun and memorable trip.  Residence Inn Panama City delivered high-quality customer service from the moment I booked a taxi to transfer us from the airport to the hotel. On the way, the driver, Mr. Clarke with an E! (inside joke) gave us a mini tour and entertained us with local historical facts. When we checked in, we met Yani at the front desk, whose professional, courteous, and helpful demeanour made us feel welcome. During our trip, Yani actively sought our feedback on the service from the food to our room. She listened and provided thoughtful explanations as well as actioned our recommendations where practical.  On another occasion, she helped us make an appointment and find a healthcare provider for a medical emergency. We were astounded by her empathy and sincerity. As a brand ambassador for the Residence Inn, she exemplified the values and ideals of customer service espoused by Marriott. Also, I take this opportunity to recognise there were other Associates, who provided support as needed.  The hotel's central location was another plus for us. There were several nearby restaurants and groceries within walking distance.  In terms of recommendations, we suggest adding dishes to enhance the variety at breakfast, especially for persons who stay longer. We suggest that the meal options for dinner are more appetising and aesthetically pleasing. Food is our love language! Otherwise, we had an enjoyable time and plan to stay at the Residence Inn whenever we visit Panama. Thank you for enabling us to have a memorable Girls' vacay!

Hotel location, clean and service is great. But I would not recommend it to people who need stable internet. If I would have chosen this hotel for a business trip I would have had serious issues as the connection is unstable and constantly cuts off after several minutes.

The visit started right: My plane was way early, so I sat in the lobby; the desk clerk later brought my room key to me. I love hotel breakfasts that don't have only typical US eggs, etc... this one had that but also had platanos fritos, rice and beans, and more. It was all delicious. The problems were in my room. The most irritating were three notices (see photos) warning me that I'd be charged for various things -- for instance, bringing a towel from the pool to my room or taking the iron home with me. (I expect that at a cheap hotel, not at one of the top hotels in Panama City.) The tall window had a crack from top to bottom, which made me nervous that the high wind during the thunderstorm might break it... probably not, but even an obvious patch would have been better than (apparently) nothing.

Excellent choice in Panama City, the rooms are perfect, neighbourhood is great with endless number of restaurants. Continental breakfast is amazing. We stayed here for 10 days, however 1 single issue did confuse & upset us: Here was the scenario explained to them: - 10 nights of stay - guest A&B stayed for the first 6 days. - guest A alone 7th day - guest A&C the last 3 nights. Told them upfront that 1 guest leaves & another will join later. They charged $27.5/day, admin fee to change a guest name!? This was after suggesting that we cancel with Trip.com & rebook again with the correct names. We told them it doesn’t make sense to do that & it was disappointing that they couldn’t offer any solution to a customer who just gave them 10 days of business & being a Riu Class member loyal to this chain.

Excellent hotel for business trip, walking or staying for a walk, serves for everything. The room was clean, the restaurant was quite amen and the food was good, there is no huge variety of food, but it really has the necessary

1) First 3 nights, pool was closed for renovation. Reception said ”No pool available”. Only this, I thought, the pool was completely closed. On the forth day, I saw, guests were swimming. I asked the reception. ”Yes, you can swim”. Why the reception could not inform us only 3 days closed? 2) No towel after cleaning. Also first 3 nights. I thought that the clean team forgot to leave it, but it was not forgetting, but not ready. Towels were delivered around 19:00 first 3 nights. I called the reception every night and they said ”We inform the responsible staff” and waited for hours. Why reception didn't answer ”Towels will be delivered around 19:00 today” or advised us for delay delivering in advance? Then I didn't have to call the reception every day. Anyway, I had to wait to take shower till 19:00. Outside was 30degrees, and I wanted to take a shower immediately. 3) Weak WIFI. WIFI at Reception was with 96 Mbps, however, room at the door was 14 Mbps and at bed, no signal anymore. At desk also 2 Mbps or no signal. It's impossible to watch streaming like Netflix or web meeting. Also no smart TV. 4) My room card key was invalided every day. I had to go to the reception after back to the hotel (Elevator works with valid room card key). If no guests are at the reception, it takes soon, but one day, big group was there, and I had to wait more than 10min or more. I had a take away food, and it was no more warm when I was back to the room. 5) They asked me an advance payment even flex rate booking. They need cash? 6) No refrigerator in a room.

We reserved here for ease of pickup for our main event. This trip was planned around a full transit of the canal, which is only offered one Saturday a month with only certain hotels being pick up sites. We got 2 nights in an upgraded room for 18,000 points. We must have had a free night thrown in. We easily walked to El Trapiche and had an interesting Panamanian Feast and drinks. We were there the 18th and left the 20th. We had drinks and food at the hotel. And service was always good, no matter how busy they were. Food and drinks were good. (Cubano at the Cafe was awesome!) Check in was smooth and room was ready early. Everyone we dealt with was professional and friendly and helpful. Check out was a little slow, but you're not in America, so it was fine. You can't handle everything on line. Our pre-arranged transfer was right on time. The room was clean and well equipped. There was a beer (wine and limited liquor) accross the street, as well as a general market for drugstore items and a diner. We didn't go to the diner. There was also a little bar/restaurant right behind the hotel we didn't get to, but wanted to. We went to a couple of bars and the Cafe in the hotel. All were good. We spent all of Saturday on the canal. Such an interesting, historical adventure!

We really enjoyed our time at this location during our recent family trip to Panama City, Panama. The only ding I had was that the room could have use a more thorough cleaning, as we noticed some mold in our room, but I guess its difficult in such a humid climate. The breakfast offered was delicious and the attendants were super involved and attentive. We were met with plenty of helpful hands while traveling with our little ones. We also loved our room and the view from our room during our stay at this hotel. Our refrigerator was stacked with plenty of refreshment if we required anything at a moments notice, but we decided not to purchase anything from the refrigerator while there - so no idea if the cost was reasonable. The pool area was enjoyed by the kids and we also enjoyed the poolside service we were offered while enjoying the pool. We really liked most of the amenities during our time we spent at the JW Marriot and would be happy to stay at this hotel again in the future.
