Top Escobal Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Escobal

Radisson Colon 2000 Hotel & Casino at Cruise Port & Duty Free Mall

8/10 Good

"We stayed here 3 nights before boarding our cruise. The rooms were clean and the AC was cold which was nice. The lobby smelled old and musty but looked clean. This property was close to everything, shopping mall and the free zone and the cruise port we were make to walk there. Can’t speak much to the amenities since we didn’t use them."

Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Rainforest views and Hammock in the balcony"

SAND DIAMOND HOTEL

8/10 Good

"Bien en general La comida muy buena"

Hotel Andros

8/10 Good

"Hotel Andros is a nice hotel--well kept and managed. It is in a rough portion of the city. But, the rooms were spacious and clean. The A/C worked well in the rooms. The only thing is that the A/C is not out in the common areas. The convenient access to the attached restaurant is a very nice plus and it is in a very convenient location for those needing to access the center of Colon."

New Washington Hotel

8/10 Good

"The food was no good"

Hotel Sotelo

8/10 Good

"I appreciated the close proximity to the shipping ports ."

Gatun Lake Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our time at this property and would definitely recommend others to visit during their time in Panama. Sure, the lodges are a little rustic in places but they are perfectly comfortable. The setting in the lake is beautiful, with a great pool, free kayaking facilities and places to completely switch off. I loved how calm and relaxing the place was. Most importantly, the staff are superb. Friendly, attentive and fantastic hosts. We felt well looked after here. The food on offer was great, and food & drinks reasonably priced. Top tip would be to make sure of the kayaking and boat trips. Definitely book the Monkey Island trip – we loved this trip and made the stay even more memorable."

Jacuzy, pool and lake at the same house.

"Nice pool excellent host ver good for the price highly recommend"

BirdHouse@Gamboa, Panama Canal

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing stay, from the house, to the surroundings and the owner. We used all the recommendations (Kamir is a great cook and wonderful person), went on a boat tour and enjoyed the Embera trip. It was our first time in the jungle and Gamboa was a great experience. Safe and friendly all around!"
