This is a great hotel. We have stayed in a few others but we seem to come back to this one when we stay in Panama City. El Cangrejo is an excellent neighborhod to explore on foot.

Ibiza stay
I've stayed here a few times and the place is always clean, very convenient to a lot of restaurants, banking etc. Seem's that on this 4-day trip bill was just a lot of noise within the hotel room, seeing late at night from adjacent hotel rooms, constant moving around the furniture sometimes early in the morning other than that the place was very comfortable.
