This is a great hotel with a wonderful people that always try to help
It is a hotel where they make you feel like family.
All the staff treat you very kindly and try to make your stay very pleasant.
Thank you Karen, Isis (in reception) and Laura (housekeeping) who were always attentive to our requests.
It is a great hotel with excellent service and everything is close. You can walk and in a few minutes find what you are looking for
The truth is that I highly recommend this hotel
We stayed one night, three couples. Excellent location, close to a mall, restaurants, hospital, pharmacies. A couple blocks from Balboa avenue. Restaurant and coffee shop on the lobby level, free parking and we got to leave our car for four days while we travelled to San Blas Islands. We all said we would stay here again.
Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. The room was spacious and comfortable with a balcony overlooking nature. It had a lovely pool and a nice spot for an outdoor cocktail.
The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly.
We were very close to Soberania National Park and the Panama Canal. We were very satisfied with our stay.
We had to make a quick stop in the city for some paperwork and did hotel offered a good price. We noticed that the hotel is very old and many things in the room were not working or closing properly. The TV didn’t work. We had 3 small kids so we were very stressed the whole time. I don’t recommend for families. The breakfast buffet was ok, it didn’t offer many options. The front desk was very kind and helpful though.
Facilities: Complete
Sanitation: Clean
Environment: Elegant, especially suitable for business travelers to live and work. During my stay, I had a deep impression and a wonderful experience of the hotel's swimming pool. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic stay! I truly enjoyed Riu from the time I checked in till the time I checked out. I appreciate the staff and the quick convenience of check in process. Not only was the rooms absolutely spotless and clean but their were plenty of elevators to get to the rooms. I really enjoyed the pressed juice from the breakfast the most (absolutely fresh and excellent). The breakfast buffet was a nice feature to have at our time there, along with looking out to the pool(do wish the pool was a tad bit bigger). IT IS A MUST YOU TRY THE RESTAURANT TASTE AND THE BARTENDER DRINKS. Absolutely probably one of the best in the city! The meal at taste was exceptional and the prices are perfect (please don't change because I plan on coming back). From start to finish Riu made my birthday experience worthwhile in Panama. I honestly wouldn't have changed it for the world! Thank you for the housekeeping for always keeping our room clean and us being so trustworthy of leaving suitcase and clothes items out and it wasn't even moved an inch. The beds were some of the most comfiest sheets we slept on in a while and the bathroom was so big and spacious with DOUBLE sinks! We appreciate the friendliness and excitement in activities and guest that we saw everyday. If you are not staying at Riu then what are you doing?

The bed was excellent, the breakfast was very good, the area was very nice, the hotel does need some renovation, the pool and gym not really perfect but the hotel is good for the price.
Close to the seafront. The room is large and comfortable. It has AC. And it is relatively close to the international airport, approximately 20 minutes away. There is a wide variety of restaurants and supermarkets next to the hotel.

Very Good
SStubbornTravelI was surprised to see this quality in a Crowne Plaza hotel. There was nothing totally terrible, but I would definitely not stay here again.
The detailed version:
Airport shuttle: If you are an airport hotel advertising a free hotel shuttle, I think you should assume a good proportion of people staying there expect it to be easy to get to and from the airport. However it is near impossible to get information about it until you are at the hotel. I emailed twice the week before arriving (no reply) and called them over ten times over two different days to try get information (no answer). Finally the day of flying someone answers and just says that you go outside of the terminal and a shuttle will be there. There are no signs, no timetable, nothing. I called again once we actually got to Panama and was told it comes at 25 past the hour from door 17. I was lucky that my partner saw it by chance on the other side of the street at door 14. At the hotel, there is a printed timetable. Why not put this on the website or share it in the confirmation message?? Or at least tell people when they call? Once there, it was no problem taking it back to the airport, there's a timetable by reception. It runs around once every hour.
Gym: was very good for a hotel, not amazing but it was clean and with a varied selection of machines, mats, medicine balls, resistance bands and weights. I was impressed.
Breakfast: nothing to write home about but a lot of variety: scrambled eggs, cereals, sausages, cheeses, rice, empanadas, breads etc. But a lot of stuff was missing signs. The 'corn empanadas' were full of beef, which seems misleading.
Restaurant: didn't use it because the selection is very limited if you're a vegetarian (I think there was one vegetarian dish). It also seemed quite expensive, I guess that's normal for a restaurant hotel, but the quality didn't look to match.
Room: large and spacious with a comfortable bed, coffee machine and TV. But there was a very weird smell, it was damp and the Aircon looked like it was from the 70s (and sounded that way too).
Bathroom: again OK. The shampoos/conditioners etc seem to be the wrong size for the set brackets on the wall, which makes them very uncomfortable to use, as you can only press down around .5 cm.
We didn't use the pool so can't comment. As I said nothing really terrible but a frustrating experience and a surprise this is within the Crowne Plaza brand. I will personally not stay again.
BBurtonIf you need to layover at Panama Tocumen and want to keep close to the airport in a hotel with airport transfer , you have a choice of 2 sizeable hotels at similar prices . Riande is by far the better hotel - room & bed , food , service and best of all a beautiful outdoor swimming pool . Free airport transfer .back yo terminal every hour . About $10 - $12 Uber from terminal to hotel - 5/10 minute trip .
Highly Revommended

AAnonymous Userinternet connection isn't great and that could be a problem. Unfortunately, there is no fridge in the room either. The location is not really far from the Via Argentina metro station and staff is very polite and helpful.
GGuest UserRoom was nice and comfortable though carpet had not been vacuumed in a long time.
Had a massage at the spa. Extremely disorganized and inexperienced massuese. With 30 minutes notice of my arrival there were no towels or robes ready. She kept bringing things one at a time even while i waz naked getting into the shower- bath mat, then robe, then robe belt, then towel, then slippers. I told her i just want back massage and done strong but i had to keep telling her where to rub and to be stronger.
Other than that the facility was nice
I used on line booking to book one day, then two more days then three more days. I always book for two but om the last three days something went wrong and somehow got booked only 1 person. Desk attendant told me $55 a day to change to two person. I think the app which i didn’t use the first two times defaulted to kne person and i didn’t have a chance to select two person
It waa extremely difficult to get a drink at the bar.
I did manage to get a drink at the bar then moved to a table. When i got the bill for items at the tae, the drink i had already paid for was on the bill. The waitress corrected it, thankfui had the bar receipt in my pocket

BBaqishizuzhuHotel design, cleanliness and location. The hotel is conveniently located in the financial district with many dining options nearby, suitable for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel's rooftop pool and gym are popular with guests, providing a nice view of the city.

AAnonymous UserThe room is big, but not fully functional, there is no bathtub, no USB charging port, the flushing toilet in the bathroom is too loud, dare not flush at night, it will wake people up
