My recent visit to Panama for the first time and one of the hotels I stayed was Riu. All staff was pleasant and helpful. The room that I stayed in was comfortable I also enjoyed the breakfast the variety of dishes my only problem was that the pool was out of service and the carpet in the passage leading to te rooms had a smell but I would stay there again if i happen to be in Panama again.

Sep 10, 2025An excellent and very convenient place to stay
I had a wonderful experience at RIU Plaza Panama. The hotel is modern, stylish, and very well located in the heart of the city, which makes it easy to get around and explore Panama City. The staff were consistently friendly and professional, from check-in to check-out. They went out of their way to make the stay comfortable and welcoming. My room was spacious and offered a great view of the city. Breakfast was outstanding, with a wide variety of food options to choose from.The restaurant staff kept everything well organized and made sure guests were taken care of even when it was busy. Overall, RIU Plaza Panama exceeded my expectations. It offers excellent value for money, balancing comfort, service, and convenience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Panama City, whether for business or leisure, and I look forward to staying here again.

Excellent large hotel.
This is a convention style hotel. Comparable to Marriott or Sheraton. Excellent buffet breakfast that tends to be crowded. Room and bathroom were good size. Sports style bar/restaurant and a more formal style restaurant on the premises. Staff throughout the hotel are friendly and accommodating. Reasonable rate. Can't go wrong with this one.

Also it's walking distance to the Metro.The staff was warm and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations and arrangements. My room was spacious with great amenities, and the breakfast offered a nice variety of local and international options.
