    Great 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!!!!
