Principe Hotel and Suites
Great location and great staff. Housekeeping was excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay. The Wi-Fi was a little sketchy and kept going in and out, but overall it was a great hotel experience.

The staff were great. The resorts needs updating. The breakfast buffet was good but the Ala carte restaurants were not so good.

Radisson Hotel Panama Canal
The hotel must of been a beauty in its day. The location and views of the canal were amazing. I feel as if I was treated as a second class guest because I booked through hotels.com. Our room was close to unsalable, needed lots of maintenance. Couldn’t adjust temperature, yes I did ask for assistance ...
