Hotels near Moderna Comercial S.A, Juan Diaz

It had already been a long day of travel, but I was excited to get to my room to drop off my bags and go explore Panama a little. We were only there for less than 24 hours so time was super valuable. Upon entering the hotel, it seemed a little dated, dirty, and worn. The location was extremely convenient since it was so close to the airport ($8-9 Uber black ride, $4-5 Uber X) and we would be there just to rest our head before our 9am flight. After waiting for 25 minutes for the two people in front of me to be checked in (only one desk person), I handed my passport and credit card over and I was promptly informed that I did not have a reservation. Instantly I looked on my Bonvoy app to confirm I did in fact have a reservation, but that was not enough for him. Even though I gave him the confirmation number and showed him the reservation for a two bed room. I had to go through my emails to find the confirmation email with room rate. I even checked in via the app to try to expedite the process and showed him I was now checked-in. Finally after about 30 minutes he gave me a room, while a nice line of 5 or 6 pilots and flight attendants waiting to check-in mounded behind me. I apologized to them while departing to my room, the desk guy did appear to care they were waiting. I was traveling with my elderly mother, so I just wanted to get her to the room so she could relax for a minute. After opening the door, guess what I was in a single king bed room, definitely not what I booked. I left my mom at the door so we did not have to lug our bags downstairs again. The line was not down to 4 people. Luckily they saw me and the pilots felt bad and let me jump in line. Not once did the deskman apologize for anything. He even had an attitude about it. The beds were acceptable, but not as comfortable as other Courtyards I have stayed. The room looked well worn. The hallway did not even look like it was vacuumed, food particles were on the ground! The next morning breakfast was great for a Courtyard, the only bright star for this dump. The server was extremely attentive and pleasant. The food was pretty good. Maybe the bar was set so low with the other experiences here. I should have went with my instincts and kept my original reservations that were deeper in the city. When I come back to Panama, this will definitely not be my hotel.

The hotel location is very close to the Huawei Panama office, 200 meters walk, the hotel facilities are relatively new, the catering is good, the service staff is very professional, but also help me a little while walking, the trip is very pleasant. Of course, dining at the restaurant next to the hotel is also good.

We stayed here for 5 nights to be able to acclimatise to the weather in Panama. We got a room with windows to the floor, which gives a nice touch for the view over the city. The room is ok, spacious, but worn out. Specially the bathroom is in need of a make-over. The beds were mixed, one had a good mattress the other a soft one with a dent in it. Wifi worked very well. Very friendly staff. My main reason for 3 starts is that this hotel advertises itself as adhering to Planet 21, (link to Accor Planet 21 site removed  ) meaning amongst others that they are reducing food waste. Well, have a look at the pictures here and you'll see that a small portion of jelly is in a plastic cup, the abricot jam is in plastic, the butter is in plastic, and the youghurt as well. The third picture shows you the waste after having had breakfast... I know I have a sweet tooth ;) So, not really planet 21...

The Room - The queen-sized bed was luxurious, the pillows were comfortable, the rain shower in the bathroom was refreshing, the air conditioning was cold. The room also had a large closet with drawers, a TV with remote, a desk and two chairs, and the room was VERY clean. The WIFI was free, strong and very useful to me! They also have an in-room safe for your valuables, a pool and their own parking garage but I did not use them. The Metro Stop at Via Argentina is close by. I had a beautiful view of the city from my 5th floor window where I could enjoy the rain storms and the city lights at night. The Staff and Surroundings - I felt VERY safe! The staff answered questions, ordered taxis for me (until my Uber App started working) and was welcoming and accommodating. Cesar Ramirez especially (I believe he is the front desk manager) spoke English and was so very helpful to me!! EXCELLENT STAFF - EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! They also spent time with a taxi driver helping him to understand that I wanted him to take me one place, wait for me to finish, then take me to my final destination--the trip was a success! The mini market next door is super convenient (with American items and pricing). The Tsugoi Restaurant next door was a treat for me. Sushi and Yakisoba! YUM!! If you want all the amenities of a 5-star resort, you might not find them in the room: an alarm clock (you have one on your cell phone), complimentary shampoo and conditioner (just buy or bring your own), a coffee maker (I think the mini market next door has some--it's Panama, go on a coffee adventure and try some of the best coffee in the world)

Excellent choice in Panama City, the rooms are perfect, neighbourhood is great with endless number of restaurants. Continental breakfast is amazing. We stayed here for 10 days, however 1 single issue did confuse & upset us: Here was the scenario explained to them: - 10 nights of stay - guest A&B stayed for the first 6 days. - guest A alone 7th day - guest A&C the last 3 nights. Told them upfront that 1 guest leaves & another will join later. They charged $27.5/day, admin fee to change a guest name!? This was after suggesting that we cancel with Trip.com & rebook again with the correct names. We told them it doesn’t make sense to do that & it was disappointing that they couldn’t offer any solution to a customer who just gave them 10 days of business & being a Riu Class member loyal to this chain.

I stayed only one night in this hotel, the infrastructure is dated, mirrors in the bathroom have black spots but the worst is no hot water in the shower. The basin had hot water but in the shower it was cold. I reported it to the front desk who said they would have someone look but that never happened. The staff were friendly, the breakfast buffet was nice but the hotel rooms really need a makeover. With so many other hotels in the vicinity, I moved out of the Crown Plaza and into another hotel chain nearby

Temporarily intent to live for one day. The location is nearly 20 kilometers away from the airport. This time, Panama needs to remind everyone that when you check-in, you will be asked why you are going to Panama, and you will be required to show the ticket and the domestic accommodation certificate. At that time, I thought that I needed a yellow book when I bought a ticket on Ctrip. Therefore, I only bought the flight ticket and did not buy the flight ticket from the country. As a result, I was not allowed to board the plane when I checked in. I said that there are regulations. Fortunately, I contacted Ctrip SOS customer service urgently and asked for a flight ticket from Panama to Canada, which was completed within one hour, because it was only one hour away from the boarding time. Finally, through Ctrip English customer service and Panama Airlines, they finally agreed to register. The Yellow Book did not ask, a false alarm. After arriving in the Panamanian state, don't stay for 15 minutes when entering the customs to confirm whether there is any suspicion of staying in the country.

We spent two nights at The Beach House. Our 3rd-floor room had floor-to-ceiling windows that looked onto the marina and the bay. The views of the Amador and the city were beautiful from both our room and our balcony. It was great having both a fridge and coffee maker in the room since we had to leave before they served breakfast both days we stayed. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance. When we stayed there the nature park next door was closed due to covid, and the swimming pool was being maintained. However, when we arrived early due to an overnight flight, they let us check into our room as soon as it was available. We were so grateful! They also kept our luggage for the day after we checked out so that we could go to Tobaga Island before departing on the next part of our journey. I felt like they were very thoughtful and accommodating. This hotel is a great choice.
