Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

10/10 Excellent
"My stay at the Rui Plaza Panama was excellent. My only issue I had there which was resolved on the third day was no Internet access to the television. I do not speak Spanish and for three days I was not able to watch the television only Spanish programs, English was only on CNN, which was very boring but on the fourth day, I noticed I got HBO so it made up for it. My husband and I really did enjoy the stay."
