I was only here for 2 nights but I was impressed with all the extras floor the room price. Room was large, clean and neat and was comfortable. Breakfast was included in the room price and transport to the airport was also included. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is central and there is easy access to most... More

During our past visits to Panama we had stayed in other higher priced hotels, however, for our short 5 day stay this year the Cresta Inn fit our needs perfectly, the price was reasonable, room median size with queen bed, couch, safety box, cupboard space, Wi-Fi, TV and a very usable bathroom. The room decor was older but kept very... More

We have been here a week and have enjoyed our stay immensely. The staff were terrific and very helpful. Our room was spacious and very clean. Our king size bed was very comfortable....no bad backs. The complimentary breakfast buffet offered a good variety of foods. Very delicious. If there was something else you wanted to eat, they offered to make... More

I've been staying here for 3 days now, We book a 5 days stay,and so far our stay has been really nice and so are the staff. Although there is a language barrier, the staff tried to communicate the little English they knew. When we arrived on our first night at the airport,we had missed the shuttle, and we waited... More

We were so fortunate when our taxi driver brought us here (after the Mediterranean Dreams B&B did not answer their phone for a week to reconfirm) as the employees and manager were so gracious and helpfull. Taxis from here to anywhere were 3-5$ and easy to find. There are a few small repairs needed here or there, but for the... More

The airport shuttle was on time and it saved us from getting a taxi. The front desk staff knew some English and was very helpful. There was a nice little bar in the hotel with decent prices and cold beer. The breakfast was very good! The location was not bad for wandering and sightseeing. Good hotel for a short stay... More

i loved the suite we booked in La Cresta. It had a beautiful bathroom which included a sauna and jacuzzi (which drained and didn't really hold water for long). The bed was fabulous and very clean. I was happy with all the amenities. There is a 24 hour bar, and restaurant. However, I wouldn't wish the breakfast buffet on anyone.... More

My expectations were not high, but the experience was awful. The shuttle in the airport didn´t show up and we had to take a taxi. The hotel smells of a mixture of greasy food and cheap perfume. The staff is useless and unfriendly.

My mother and I stayed several nights. The van driver was waiting for us when we arrived at the Tocumen Airport. The rooms were spacious, probably need some touch up and maintenance. The breakfast included generous portions of eggs, sausage, bananas, yogurt, juice and other items. We found the level of English varied with each desk clerk; however during the... More
