Panama Hotels

The hotel is centrally located near the banking district. The area is safe. The Italina restaurant in the hotel is excellent. The same quality food in San Francisco would be two to three times the price. Manolo´s, another good dining choice is a half a block away.The service in the hotel was excellent. The microsuite room is small. It worked for me, but others may prefer more space.

The third time be here, feel comfortable and familiar, like it!

Great place. Fun pool area. Good staff. We had a great time. Not much to do in the city. Spent 5 days at this hotel but would recommend a bit more time out of the city if touring

We spent 2 nights at Tryp. We were flying out to Bocas and wanted to be close to the domestic airport (Albrook) . The downside of course is that besides the mall, you have to take a taxi which brings up my only real complaint. If you do use the taxi service from the front door of the hotel, they jack up the prices. Instead of say $5 one way which is pretty standard, we paid $12 plus $2 per person extra. I think it was $16 to Casco Viejo for the 4 of us When I asked about $5 one way price, the manager was quick to pull out his 8 1/2 x 11" piece of paper and show me his rates which showed the higher numbers... We were not too worried as it was our only taxi ride we'd be taking. We had hired a driver to pick us up and drop us off at the airports. If you're taking a lot of taxies, just walk out the mall and pay $5 like everyone else in the city. The staff was very nice and let us keep 1 of our rooms until 2:30pm. We had 4 rooms between the 10 of us And breakfast buffet was awesome! Coffee con leche hit the spot.

Irene, the director of the hotel was amazing. We had a great room, and were treated very well. We had lots of help from Irene with travel plans. Its a casino hotel, and we really liked it.

Great hotel to stay. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Housekeeping came immediately. Stayed there 3 time

The hotel is on a little side street and we had a hard time finding it but it is quite lovely and the staff are amazing. The rooftop pool is open (the website states it is not) and is spectacular! The views are incredible of Panama City and the pool area is modern and really impressive. The gym and spa are also really nice.

I would rate the Continental Hotel & Casino as one of the friendliest hotels I have stayed in. Excellent from top to bottom.

Great value for money and all the amenities I needed (nice room, communications and gymn.) - if you want more head next door and use the Sheraton facilities. It's close enough to the action (metro plaza mal nearby) but in a quiet part of the city. You can still hear construction though...

Beautifully renovated hotel with modern decor and feel. The heavenly beds and linens were much welcomed after a long day of travel. We wished we could have stayed for longer than a day. The rain shower head and spacious stand up shower with glass enclosure reminded us of our home one and made melting off our layers wonderful. We had an unobstructed 9th floor view looking North East of the city which was awesome during the day and night. We especially appreciated the buffet breakfast in the morning which was much more than selection than we expected! We were greeted by wonderful and attentive staff and seated in their 365 bar/restaurant eating area. Colourful and well lit space with moderno graffiti type art and the back of a diablo rojo bus! Very cool. The dishes included: fried chicken, vegetable medley, yucca balls, scrambled eggs, chef omelette station, wide selection of breads, cereals, granola & nuts, milk, sliced cheeses and cold cuts, individual yogurts, hot sweet porridge, whole plums and apples, cut pineapples, watermelons, papaya etc. Coffee/tea and hot chocolate and fruit juices were available. All delicious and well prepared and presented. Make your own grilled cheese! The hotel is centrally located in the El Cangrejo area, a close walk to numerous restaurants and shopping. The wifi was a bit spotty from our 9th floor suite but we just brought our laptops down to the lobby or used their 2 lobby desktop Macs for faster connections.
