I like the welcome at the front desk Juan was great good worker. Food quality was good too But 2 things I don’t like My family and I sat down for breakfast 2 morning in a Rowe nobody give us service and I feel so bad and seems like we were bothering someone Maybe cause we were black. My wife is a hostess she work at couples Negril and she observed a lot about the service so that was poor she even stated that if a guest get up from the restaurant with water the whole hotel knows about it. But thanks again other wise it was ok.

We have stayed at RIU properties in the past but not recently. We chose RIU Panamá because of our past positive experience in Cancun. RIU Panama did not disappoint. From reception to dining and amenities this location was excellent! We will return to any RIU on future travels.

The place was always clean and tidy. Front desk staffs were always willing to assist. Breakfast was good and the options were many. They smiled a lot and peasantries were always given. Their information to detail was great. It was my partners birthday and she was gifted pastries and fruits which was delivered to our room. I would definitely recommend.
