    Great city hotel and the Breakfast Buffet is a once in a lifetime experience!

    Great hotel located in the city of Panama. During my vacation I stayed here for six of my nights. Has very friendly staff, the rooms are nice and the views of the city are stunning. They also have a taxi service in front of the hotel and make it very easy to travel around the city. Finally breakfast buffet is unlike what I have ever seen. It is very massive with many different options; the hot food is really hot. I encourage any hotel who wants to do a good breakfast buffet for their guest to come to Hotel Riu Plaza in Panama City to see how it is supposed to be done!
