    We loved our recent stay at the RIU Plaza in Panama City, Panama! The staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel and pool (area) were spotless! The morning buffet was OUTSTANDING!! We will stay her every time we come to Panama City.

    Panama City

    Riu Plaza Stay was overall excellent. The highlight of the stay had to be the breakfast buffet. Room was nice and location was great.

    Super Stopover

    We were so pleased with the ability to check in early and have the hotel hold our luggage for our extended stay stopover. Breakfast was incredible and the concierge was delightful in helping us find the best Panama Canal tour( I highly recommend taking the sightseeing tour bus to get mnost bang for your buck on a short trip). I will most certainly book RIU again for other vacations. RIU exceeded our expectations!
