Not so clean and bad customer service
Nice location by the lake, a bit far from the city and no signs to show the way. Room floor was greasy, dark stains on bathtub. Ask for ice and told me to go to the lobby, of course there wasn't any machine there and they sent me to 1st floor and the machine was broken. Arrived late to my room and didn't have towels, called 6 times including 3 trips to the reception's desk and after 2 1/2 hours I got the towels, at 1am. Two towels that when unfolded were all stained and dirty. Staff refused to tell me their names or the manager's name.

Not a 4 star hotel by any means
Definitely not a 4 star hotel or an all inclusive hotel at all. Staff a little friendly at the end, felt like we had to work to get them to smile, wait I thought that is their job! My family and I were there for 8 days and not once did they greet me by name and I had to go to the store to find mint so they could make a Mojito, really? no mint at all in 8 days. I can't believe Melia put their name on this property, we stayed at other Melia's in Mexico and this was not the same experience at all. Love Panama and will probably go back but not at this hotel. I do not recommend this if what you want is to have, a fitness room, a mini bar, an iron in your room, nightly entertainment and an all inclusive experience.

Melia Hotel Colon Vacation
The setting and pool are the best if you want to get away from it all. Outside of some local tourist attractions Colon is not a city you want to visit, very dangerous run down city. Hotel itself is okay, poor a/c barely keeps room cool with extremely dirty filters. Showers/bath area is moldy. Slippery tile flooring. Beds in executive rooms (king size) nice other beds poor. Breakfast buffet included is good; rest of food very high priced and not good cooking. Nothing is close to hotel. Rental car is a must.

Melia Resort Hotel, Colon
The Melia was a great place to stay in a city that has few good/safe hotels. There is quality for your money that includes a great buffet breakfast and many extras that other area hotel don't offer. You do need a rental to really see the area and avoid the high costs of hotel arranged tours. You can't beat the grounds or the lake location.

Short walk from hotel
fishing is great in Gatum Lake, but bring your own equipment so you can fish on your own. The telescopic pole and small reel with good lures is all you need for dock or bank fishing. Lots of bass and this will cost you nothing.

Melia Gatun Lake
Awesome!!... besides being situated in a very nice location by the lake the most impresive was the service and attention to detail provided by the staff and the quality of the food while I was there. Breakfast is included therefore providing even a better value for the stay. Best hotel that I stayed while visiting that country. The only draw back is that the matress was pretty hard for my back.
