“Hotel El Panama has seen better days, and while some rooms disappoint, the staff consistently garner praise. I noted its expansive pool and central location as definite assets, making it a practical choice despite the dated infrastructure. The dining, though diverse with Japanese and Italian options, might not suit all palates.”
