Top Rio Abajo Hotel Reviews

Megapolis Hotel Panamá

10/10 Excellent

"loved my family suite !!! very spacious and cute ! awesome views… the pool was such a vibe even on the days it did rain the bar was still open. great location in the city"

The Executive Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay at The Executive Hotel because the room was large and well designed. Everything was just as advertised- weight room, sauna and pool. The pool was smaller than what I thought it would be. However while I was there, only a few people actually got in it which made them feel comfortable. There's several places within walking distance such as convenience stores, casinos, fast food restaurants, mall, and dance club. I really took advantage of the restaurant in the hotel. Food was great. The daily free breakfast buffet was exemplary!"
