JW Marriott Panama

Everything!

I had no hot water. I tried to take a shower twice but couldn’t. I waited over a few minutes each time to see if hot water would come, but alas, no hot water.

JW Marriott Panama Best hotel in Panama City. The staff is professional and go beyond their duties to make you feel at home. Shout out especially to the staff at the Executive Lounge!

We arrived and found the staff to be extremely helpful and attentive to your needs. The Louge Team consisting of: Amel, Maxine, Jose, Dana & Antonio stood out as the most attentive and positive for our entire stay. The whole team from breakfast to dinner really did a great job of making the guest feel welcomed at JW. Whatever you asked, they would go out their ways to make it happen. A really awesome team.

The entire team at the J.W. Marriott delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. In the concierge lounge, Anel, Maxine, Antonio, and José went above and beyond, making us feel truly valued and well taken care of. Their hospitality was top-tier, and because of them, we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Nice pool area, good food available to order, friendly staff, able to store bags to use facilities on day of check out

Infinity pool a little cold and the pool area does not get sun throughout the whole day Thought the price of breakfast was too expensive so did not try - much better options available in the old town for a fraction of the price

We had a very nice stay at the JW for our first trip to Panama. Service was great –consistently friendly, competent, and personal – at all levels – podium, reception/check in, concierge, housekeeping, and at the Executive Lounge/M Club. We think the heart of a good hotel is the staff. Staff like these can compensate for other shortcomings. Facilities – The Lounge has a covered outside area overlooking the pool and with an ocean view. This area is open for users of the pool so one needs to use one’s key card to re-enter the interior lounge. Nice assortment for breakfast – including to order made eggs -- as well as the small plates served in the late afternoon/early evening. Decor – Hotel and rooms are nicely furnished. As others have noted, there is no separate bathroom. Presumably due more to economics than aesthetics. Our room had two frosted glass enclosures one for the separate shower and one for the toilet. We did see some rooms with an unenclosed bathtub out in the room separated by a curtain of some sorts from the rest of the room. One nit – our shower did not have a wall ledge and the soap dish attached to the shower wall would not accommodate more than one of the three bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash at the same time which was rather inconvenient , Unless I suppose one has a shower buddy to hold them. On the ground floor level there are a variety of shops among them a convenience store, barbershop, laundry, and several offices offering real estate services. You can top up your previously purchased local SIM at a kiosk in the convenience store. The attendant in the store helped us through the process. The building (which includes a condo and casino) provides an hourly shuttle to/from the MultiPlaza Mall – which may remind certain visitors of the “glory” years of malls in North America. There are two mobile phone providers if one needs to buy a SIM. This is on the terrace (third level) farthest from the drop-off point. Past a substantial collection of US “fast food” restaurants/outlets. We had heard there was “nothing” near the hotel. That’s not accurate. Within walking distance around the corner from the Metro Pharmacy there is a Foodies, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, the excellent Patisserie Saint Honore (see our review), a laundry, and a beauty salon. Transport – Easy to get an UBER. However, note that pickups are at the building directly across the street from the JW. Drop offs at the hotel podium.
