Skip

The toilet overflowed and the handyman had to service it. The refrigerator did not get cold and was leaking fluid. After the third call to ask maintenance to replace to repair the fridge, I gave up. The bathroom also need updating.

Riu Plaza is an excellent choice to stay in Panama City. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We ate at the international restaurant which had excellent pasta. The pool area was beautifully kept and relaxing. Fitness center had a ton of equipment and hand weights. This hotel exceeded my expectations. We were very happy with our stay.

Half my vacay waiting for the vator

I felt like I spent half my time in line waiting for the elevator. To make matters worse, twice I went all the way up to the 31st floor and the key card did not work. I had to go all the way down and back to have them rekey. No big deal normally, but this was 15 extra minutes on top of the ten minutes it took to get up in the first place. It is too bad because everything else was great, but the elevator was a negative game changer. I will never return.
