Room was spotless. It was very small but ok for an over night stay. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. Seafood casserole was too top notch. Breakfast was good too.

Beautiful hotel ! Front desk staff were excellent and so friendly. They are a great representation for the hotel. We dealt with both the young guy and girl Sorry I didn't get there names. We had stayed on our way south of Panama a few days before and actually changed our plans so we could stay another night upon our return.

Once this certainly was a glorious hotel. The room is spacious, the hotel territory is large and quiet. However, this place hasn't seen any care for decades by the looks of it and everything has started to falling appart. The room is very battered with walls, furniture and everything around being very worn down.
Still, our stay was good.

Mold and flakey drywall/paint on wall hidden by cupboard in our room. Cantena bar and restaurant was exceptional.
Yard and building maintenance lacking. Would be a 4-5 star if more care taken in building maintenance.

Dated building and rooms; was generally clean but a bit run down. We got the suites which were spacious - and nice to have two bathrooms and two bedrooms. Toiletries supplied. No hot water for our showers. Beds had little beetles crawling on them - we flicked them off and then were fine. Breakfast was good. Overall price ok.
