“Mixed feelings”

Courtyard Panama Real Hotel

3 of 5 stars

3/5 found this review helpful

Pros:

- Hotel felt rather new. Room was nice, roomy and modern. Staff was nice. Location was next to probably the most expensive mall in Panama (others = Multicentro and Albrook, whereby Albrook was much more for the average Panamanian).
- Nearby restaurants = Palidar (good food, reasonably priced, outdoor patio seating) and Tony Romas (not very good in my book, with so-so service and average food). In-hotel restaurant was actually pretty good (tried the Panamanian version of chicken soup & liked it).

Cons:

- Hard to get a good feel for Panama at this hotel. Panamanians earn significantly less than people do in the USA.
- Taxi mafia! City taxi from airport to hotel (they piled me in with 2 other people) cost $12 for me. Seemed reasonable. The "hotel shuttle" (driver works for hotel) for transfer from the hotel to the aiport (17mi/15min) cost me $25. People at the airport claim that I should have been charged $20, but I used taxis to get around Panama city and it never cost more than $5 to cross the entire city (twice this distance or $10 would be app. same distance from hotel to the airport). I even hired a driver for a 2hr tour of the city & Panama canal on Sunday and paid him $30.

While most people I met were nice (I speak little/no Spanish, I really hate it when such people take advantage of tourists. I called from the airport and complained to the hotel manager who insisted that this was the "correct rate" for airport transfer.

I am likely never to voluntarily visit Panama again. I would also recommend staying in other hotels/locations and never using a hotel "shuttle".

I enjoy reading the reviews at least once a month on this site. I think that sharing experiences of hotels all over the world, prepares tourists to visit countries they have never been before. For me, as an hotelier, it is definitely a great resource to know how well or how bad we are doing and find ways to improve.

For those of you who will be traveling to Panama in the near future, I thought it would be useful for you to know the correct charges for transportation to and from the airport. This can be verified on the official IPAT web page (in Spanish). It also contains information on what you need to enter the country. As you may see, the charge changes from $10 to $25 depending on if you share a taxi with 4, 2 persons, or travel alone.

Again, thank you for your reviews as they provide us with amazing and useful information to improve our level of service.

Best regards,

Sebastian Gonzalez

“Fresh and Bright - a great place to stay”

Courtyard Panama Real Hotel

7/7 found this review helpful

I have stayed here twice. The rooms are spacious, definitely up to USA standards in decor, very bright and fresh. The design scheme incorporates some colorful patterns of the Kuna tribe, which give a uniquely Panamanian feel.

The staff speak English, are very polite and professional. I had no problems when I decided to check out earlier than I registered for. I actually left to go try out a new hotel, the Veneto Hotel and Casino. Overall I preferred the rooms at the Courtyard! Larger,brighter and better appointed.
I have booked on Expedia and found a deal that include the full buffet breakfast ( $10 per person otherwise). The food was delicious, with made to order omlettes.

The hotel is attached to a large modern mall, with a great selection of stores and restaurants, including a Tony Roma's. The hotel is located in the newly developed Punta Pacifica area of Panama City, a 5 minute cab ride from the livlier El Canrejo area.

I have not stayed at any other Courtyard Hotel, but based on this experience I will have high expectations for others.

Great Job Courtyard Panama!

“A hidden gem!”

5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed here for one night in September. Hotel is modern and is better than any Courtyard I stayed in back in the States. Excellent location right next store to the Multiplaza mall, which has a movie theater and a supermarket. Rooms were modern (Hans Grohe bathroom fixtures?!) and nice. Didn't eat at the restaurant, so can't comment on the food. Pool area nice with a view of the city. Workout area modern with flat screen TV's.

Stayed at the Marriott Courtyard over the 4th of July weekend.
Check in was quick and simple. The entire hotel staff was pleasant and
professional.
The room was the same as all Marriott Courtyards. Comfortable without
being to fancy. All was cozy. Bathroom was nice and modern.
The hotel layout overall is good with a modern city look to the building
and the interior furnishings.
The hotel is attached to one of the newest malls in Panama, the Multiplex
Pacifica. Nice mall. Nicer than most in the States. Had a Tony Roma's
and many more casual food choices.
The whole area is new. Seemed to be an upcoming area.
Overall, I was very pleased by everything except the hotel restaurant.
High prices and slow service at the restaurant.
Everything else exceeded by expectations for a nice mid range hotel.
