    Great Experience!

    Where do I begin!? From the minute we walked in to the minute we left, we had top notch customer service! We are “hotel snobs” and RIU is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed it. The breakfast was awesome, the pool and everyone who worked the pool area were great and friendly, the lounge area was nice and the rooms were roomy and clean. The staff of the entire hotel was the best! There are two areas that need improvement. One is the toilet- it flushes too loud! Second is the outlets in the room, you have to finagle to get your cord to stay in. Both of these were kind of annoying. Other than that, our week stay there was wonderful. I’ve already recommended RIU to my friends who were thinking about visiting Panama.
