Rainforest-centered Panama resort with on-site waterpark
Situated in the 40-acre Las Cumbres rainforest, just five miles from the Old City of Panama, the 171-room Avalon Grand Panama is steeped in on-site luxury. Guests find two swimming pools, a full-service spa, beauty salon and walking trails that wind amid verdant tropical flora and fauna. An on-site waterpark ensures fun for all ages. Two restaurants – one Panamanian, the other American – include both buffet-style and a la carte offerings, while a bar and lounge affords grownups a place to call their own.
Highlights
- Hanging bridge set in a Panamanian rainforest filled with spider monkeys and toucans
- On-site waterpark and two swimming pools
- Full-service spa
- Two restaurants, one features an array of Panamanian and international cuisines
- Ballroom available for events

Located in the heart of Panama City's commercial and financial district, Avalon Grand Panama is minutes from shopping and attractions including the Old Quarter and Presidential Palace.

Dining

Uncomfortable visit
I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights, and had a very bad experience from the moment I checked in. The staff couldnt even find my online reservation, she argued that the reservations department hadnt download my reservation, even though I gave her a print out of it. It took me 45 minutes from the moment I gave her my documents, to the moment she gave me a room. Plus, she had a very bad attitude. Air conditioning in the room is BAD, you cant control the temperature, and sometimes feels hot. No tub in the bathroom, and shower looked dirty. WiFi is also bad, I couldnt connect from my room.

Central Location, beautiful facilities, but...
Newly renovated, great pool, responsive, central location in Panama City, but.....the construction of the subway on Via Espana and elsewhere in the city has made traffic a nightmare in the central part of Panama City. Unfortunately for Hotel El Panama they are right in the center of the insanity. It would probably be better to stay to the west of the city and only brave a trip to the east when you leave for the airport. So until the construction of the subway is done...location 1; room cleaniness 4; room comfort 3 (on arctic air conditioner or off ); staff 5; value 4.

Great Value; Great Hotel, as long as they don't overbook.....
We arrived the first night to hear that our rooms that I had reserved over 6 months in advance had been given away. They provided transportation to an alternative hotel that was nice, but definitely note the same as El Panama Hotel. We were able to get our rooms the next morning, which was great and the pool setup is amazing; we only wished the pool was open longer. Great casino connected to it, which provided hours of fun in the evening. I would definitely recommend to anyone, but would fully disclose that there's no guarantee you'll have your room available when you arrive.

Worth It
After a rocky start of not being able to get into my room for 2 1/2 hours, when I finally was put in my room, it was worth the wait. The staff is great, accommodations are wonderful and the hotel is being renovated to stay in line with the more trendier hotels. The Lobby is absolute beautiful, business center is convenient and the restaurant is great. What more can you ask for.

If you have the time, hire a private tour guide to take you around Panama City (ask for Armondo, he is great).
