Location is perfect to see all of the city skylines from your room. Easy for transportation to access and had places for a quick bite or some fun activities right across the street. Food included with yore stay was delicious, the fruit was very fresh. Customer service by everyone was superb!

Bday trip

10.0

My stay at RIU Plaza Panama was everything I needed and more for my birthday trip. From the moment I arrived, the energy, service, and overall vibe were top tier. The staff made me feel so special the entire time, and everything was clean, beautiful, and well put together. Waking up to those views from floor 33, enjoying the amenities, and just being able to relax and celebrate myself in such a gorgeous space… 10/10 experience. This hotel really knows how to make a birthday feel like a whole celebration. Thank you RIU!

Central location, great views, great service

10.0

I booked this hotel because of the ratings and the reasonable price. It absolutely did not disappoint! We requested a "high floor with a view of the city" and they put us on the top floor with a fantastic view. We felt safe and cared for all the time we were there (5 days). It is also centrally located and all other tours pick up from this hotel. It is within walking distance of a number of restaurants, and the in-hotel Spanish restaurant was one of our favorite. Don't waste your time/money at the pool-side hotel. Mediocre food and service, for us.

Excellent location

10.0

Our stay at the RIU Hotel was exceptional from start to finish. The moment we entered the foyer, we were greeted by a pleasant and inviting fragrance that immediately created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The guest rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and maintained to a high standard of cleanliness. The breakfast buffet was particularly impressive, offering a wide variety of fresh and well-prepared options to suit every preference. Service throughout the hotel was exemplary — staff were consistently courteous, professional, and attentive to every detail. In addition, the property’s central location provided convenient access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and shopping. Overall, the RIU Hotel delivered a superior hospitality experience, and we especially appreciated the quality and variety of the breakfast buffet. We highly recommend this hotel to travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and outstanding service.
