Radisson Hotel Panama Canal

8/10 Good

"Lovely property outside of the city. Easy to get around by Uber. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Rooms could do with a little more attention to the cleaning. However, housekeeping quickly dealt with any issues when brought to their attention. Microwave, mini fridge, coffeemaker in rooms. Wifi available throughout the property. Pool and Jacuzzi open until 11pm and well lit. Gym facilities rating 8.5/10. Pretty good breakfast with a variety of breads, pastries, pancakes, French toast, pancake syrup, chocolate and caramel syrups, fresh vegetables, fruit, oatmeal, almonds, vegetable broth, boiled and scrambled eggs, you can request an omelet. Sausages, spam, assorted cheeses, cold meats - ham, salami, sometimes chicken wings/beef stew/chicken tenders, steamed vegetables, hash browns. Friendly and attentive wait staff. The breakfast buffet closes off at 10am. The restaurant meals were good. Great view of ships lining up for the canal. Lush property with mango trees. The Amador Causeway is nearby with restaurants such as Mi Ranchito for great and very affordable Panamaian cuisine. Sabroso Panama Restaurant is pricier, catering mostly to tourists wth traditional entertainment starting at around 8:15pm. Worth the visit! I would stay at the Radisson again and definitely in a room with a balcony and view of the Pacific."

Decapolis Hotel Panama City

10/10 Excellent

"The check in and check out process was efficient and everything went smoothly. The breakfast buffet is a good introduction to local cuisine with a mix of international flavour."
