Liked: Cleanliness
Adequate, comfortable bed, quite noisy, unsafe to go out at night. Be prepared to use uber or cab after dark especially women. Front desk staff not so friendly but the doormen, especially Whyber, will go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of. Had paid for 6 days left after 3 to go to a better place despite the loss of $$.

The welcoming by the receptionist staff was was underwhelming. They did not even provide me with a wifi password. The wifi was very slow. I was barely able to call and secure an uber. If you need to do work, this is not the place to stay for that! On the good aspects, the bed was great. I had a good sleep. While the building is dated, is needing maintenance and care

The problem was when I arrived they did not honor my reservation. They informed me that the people before me had a problem with their tour bus breaking down. Therefore they offered to send me to some flea bag hotel for the night. Outside the front door you can smell the open sewer. It’s a good price!

Hotel Caribe is an older hotel in Panama City in a convenient location that is very close to must see areas. The metro (bus and train) and lots of taxis close by and reliable. Supermarket one block away and 24hrs. Most staff are friendly however most don't speak English so difficult to communicate. One staff member spoke English, and he was extremely courteous and friendly. He made us feel comfortable. One staff member at the front door with a bald head was rude and impolite. He had no manners and not friendly at all. Housekeeping and front desk were friendly and helpful. Because it is an older hotel that are no modern comforts like a refrigerator or microwave in the hotel rooms. Also, the rooms have older air-condition units, make noise, but it is not overbearing. However, there is hot water so that was good and also an elevator which moves a bit slow but still reliable. This experience is still disturbing to me: our toilet got clogged and the impolite staff member came up to unclog it with the plunger. After he unclogged it, I heard him put on the shower and I am assuming he cleaned the plunger that was just in the toilet with toilet paper and human waste in the shower area. Then he calls my son into the bathroom and I come as well and he is like "Mister, no put any paper in the toilet put toilet paper you use in waste basket". He then proceeds to take the hotel hand we are using to wash his hands. I went to supermarket bought cleaning supplies and cleaned up

The hotel is located near to the malls and other places of interest. The surrounding area was not so sophisticated but I appreciated the large supermarket close by. I didn’t have much problem with noise which was limited mainly to the motor vehicles traversing the road. Taking the uber was easy and cost effective. My room was very clean and I got room service every day. I really appreciated the ladies who took care of the room, the were very professional and courteous. The lobby staff were helpful and professional. Check in and check out was very easy. The breakfast served was very delicious every morning.
