The hotel is nestled in a secure charming residential area, offering a peaceful stay away from the city hustle. The open-air dining setup is delightful, but the hot water in the bathroom was inconsistent. The location is convenient with easy access to transport, but it's somewhat secluded. The welcome drink upon arrival was a nice touch, but housekeeping was not as thorough as expected.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The open-air dining on the second level was a unique experience. The rooms were cozy with hot water in the bathroom and a super comfortable bed. The location in the leafy suburb was peaceful, and the proximity to the bridge of the Americas made exploring Panama so convenient. The included fresh fruit and vegetables in the dining area were a nice touch, and the fresh coffee was just what I needed.
