Great hotel in safe area with easy access to everything. Amazing breakfast, great staff-didn't even charge me for the first night (even though I didn't ask-assumed I'd have to pay) because we were stuck overnight in Miami due to storms, so missed a day at Riu. Super impressed and grateful. Very clean, wait staff in breakfast area were very attentive, as were everyone around the pool and bar area. Would totally stay here again. We loved it.

I have stayed at the Rui previous to this with no complaints. They started doing construction on the penthouse above my room. It was very loud and I could not have my zoom business meetings in the comfort of my room.

The hotel is amazing and the staff is nice. Breaksfast, room and bar/restaurant are great.
Just the smell of the carpets makes it a little bit disconfort, specially for me with some breathing issues.

We’ve stayed at the Hotel Riu in Panama City several times and have enjoyed our stay every time. The location in the center of the city is very convenient for shopping, eating, and clubbing. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We will certainly be back.

Great service, food from breakfast to the hotel restaurant was good too. Only complaint is the size of the pool. It’s not big enough to accommodate hotel size.

The hotel is very clean. The food was delicious from morning breakfast to eating poolside. The staff was courteous and waiting to cater to your every need! I just wish there were fun activities offered for the guests by the pool. A DJ every day by the pool.

The hotel was nice and very clean. My negatives are the service and food.
My friend nor myself could get waited. We were at the pool for 2 days and both day we waited and waited for everything or just to be acknowledged.

The hotel staff were so helpful and accommodating. I received the best reception check-in anywhere in the world. Lady at reception called Laura was most helpful and went above and beyond to let me check-in early and get me a nice room. I was so impressed. The pool staff were great and made sure you were well looked after for drinks. I found the restaurant outside had slower service and the food portions for salad were tiny! Unfortunately I had an issue with my room, my toilet did not flush and it took a very long time to get fixed. I had to go to reception a couple of times, it was looked at but not fixed and nobody knew anything about it when I went back the second time, this was quite a let down. Eventually it was fixed but was disappointed this had happened in the first place. Overall loved this hotel but way too many screaming kids splashing in the pool. It was very much appreciated that the staff at the hotel recognised this and quietly spoke with the kids on a couple of occasions, I liked that. Next I will look at adult only options. Highly recommend this hotel for its service and perfect location.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was very clean and spacious, the inclusive breakfast was a good variety of options to choose from, and the pool area was open late so I was able to relax and order food & drinks some evenings.
