Good hotel, one of the best looking hotels is Colon. The management can do some improvement such as the all inclusive meals are kinda of repetitive. Overall for the price is a GREAT deal.

It could be great with the right ownership and management. Room 1347 is an 'Expedia Room', stay clean, everything was broken and dirty, with a terrible view, in an empty hotel. Service and food was poor, staff poorly trained. Unfortently, no other decent choices in Colon.

Gente amable, pero requieren capacitación urgente

La estadía fue agradable porque el lugar está en un sitio privilegiado, cerca del lago, rodeado del bosque tropical y cercano a lugares hermosos como el fuerte San Lorenzo. El señor que cuida las embarcaciones fue muy simpático. Los camareros son amables pero requieren una capacitación urgente. No tienen la menor idea de lo que es un buen servicio. Algunas áreas tienen un olor muy fuerte, sobre todo cerca del restaurante. Sería interesante conocer más sobre el hotel. Dado que tienen un piano, hubiera sido fantástico tener un pianista para dar un toque especial con música ambiental

Perfume

Un lugar increíble, ideal para recrearse en familia. Mucha naturaleza. Todo excelente, salvo el olor fuerte de perfume en el lobby. Muy fuerte aveces insoportable. Un detalle.
