    First family trip to Panama

    My family and I stayed at RIU and we had no complaints. Loved the breakfast, huge variety to choose from. Room was clean, bed comfortable, decor was nice. We enjoyed the pool and eats from Ibiza restaurant. We will definitely recommend the RIU to stay when in Panama.

    *Dissapointing tour with the hotel*

    My boyfriend and I loved the hotel very much BUT the agency they worked with was very disappointing. Our tour supposed to be with an English speaking guide but he struggled with the language and it was hard to follow. We missed a lot of information so we decided to book with Mi Viaje a Panamá (+50763242898). We went on unique tours with excellent guides.

    Stay @ Riu Hotel

    We visited Panamá and stayed at the Riu Hotel. We were very impressed with the free-breakfast, we have never seen such a variety and quality of breakfast products. Everything was perfect. Very good coffee served at the table by highly service oriented people. Fruits were amazing. My only challenge was a mug purchased at the gift shop which was cracked. I tried to return on Friday afternoon, but store was closed and left Saturday morning before 6 AM. We had a great experience in Panamá and our stay at Riu Hotel was definitely part of that experience. I will not hesitate to recommend Riu Hotel to friends and family.

    Great Hotel

    We stayed 1 week and the service, rooms and buffet breakfast was amazing. It was such a comfortable stay as all the staff from reception to waiters were super friendly.
