Jul 15, 2025Riu Plaza
We had a great stay in Panama! Riu plaza was a beautiful hotel and the food choices were amazing and the staff were amazing! We would definitely recommend it to anyone who is planning to visit Panama!

Jul 14, 2025Great minus the construction
I had a good time at the Riu in Panama City. The staff was nice and accommodating. The morning breakfast was the best part - the food was superb. The only downside, the hotel is currently going through construction and it can get noisy at times

Great location
I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights. It's located in the financial district. It near all the tourist attractions. Casco Viejo is just a 10 min uber ride. Rooms are spacious and the hotel staff are super friendly and welcoming. There is a kettle and refrigerator in the room. There is a KFC, Pizza Hut, BK, Starbucks all walking distance if you want a quick bite. The hotel breakfast was amazing! Very large variety and it's changed daily. There is definitely something for everybody. I would definitely stay here again.

More than I expected
First time staying at a Riu, so I didn’t know what to expect. Staff members were very friendly from the front desk to the pool to the restaurant. Breakfast had a wide variety to choose from, and based on the hotel’s location, there were a many different restaurants within walking distance to order from which was very cheap all around. Rooms were very inviting. Only problem is there’s 1, maybe 2 tv channels that are English….everything else is Spanish. Will definitely visit again in the future!!!!
