    40th birthday trip

    I checked into the hotel and it was overall beautiful. Had a total of 10 friends that joined me in booking this property. The location was amazing, the hotel was beautiful and the buffet was great. At check in, Ricardo made this one of best experiences to celebrate my 40th birthday in Panama. I did t get to tell him thank you before leaving but I hope this review is shared with him. I Definitely will be back.

    A problem about ice but everything else was great.

    This hotel was awesome, clean, great amenities, super nice staff, great location, large rooms, great views. However, I was told that Ice was available on the 29th and 31st floors. I was on the 30th. The catch is that the key will only allow you to get to your floor. If you aren't on the floors with the ice machine you have to go to the snack bar in the lobby and get ice or pay $5 for them to bring the ice to you; both of which I find ridiculous and inconvenient. This needs to be rethought and fixed.
