JW Marriott Panama

Location and the views are the best in the city. Just short Uber ride to the old city. I think the best hotel to stay for a short Panama visit.

Pool amazing and food was delicious

The location was central to city for tours, Old Town , restaurants etc while maintaining a more quiet atmosphere. The actual hotel was great with 2 beautiful infinity pool areas overlooking the Pacific Ocean . The pool chairs and cabana areas were very comfortable and clean. There wasn’t a time when we couldn’t get chairs. The pool staff was helpful and friendly. We had 3 lunches pool side , being served delicious hot sandwich wraps with hot fresh fries and very reasonable pricing. The Marriott affords lovely outdoor gathering areas to enjoy the beautiful evenings. The room was spacious with a king bed… very comfortable with crisp linens. robes and slippers provided Some rooms have a tub also. it is a bit unusual but the bathroom and shower are free standing glass enclosed spaces without being a separate room. This configuration still offered privacy. The room was clean and a turn down service was available each night . The large balcony was a real decision maker for us. The ocean views and breeze were wonderful. our booking included the breakfast buffet. The food selection and service was excellent. We decided to eat our evening meal 4 times because the service, quality of the food and the outdoor area was so peaceful and comfortable. I specifically must say a special thank you to the service team of Yariela, Nata, Fernando , Evencio and Clemencio. They and their peers made our dining experience so special that our consideration to return to the JW Marriott is because of these friendly, helpful hardworking people …keep in mind the Ocean Casino is directly next door for extra fun and gambling. The common area carpet and room furniture could have a refresh but the food , staff, location , service , balconies and outdoor pool and spa services make this a Best Choice hotel

Outside of the rooms smelling a bit “humid”, everything else was amazing. The views from the room were great, the pools were beautiful. The breakfast was amazing. The rest of the food was mediocre. Don’t bother with a rental car here. Uber is not expensive and the hotel is very conveniently located. You are charged for EVERYTHING here. The mini bar drinks range from $5 and up. Room service also has their own fees outside of what you order.

Room was nice. Pool nice. Good selection of restaurants in area.
