Veneto - A Wyndham Grand Hotel, Panama City

I was here for 4 nights and I must say I was very pleased with the service.Also with the working girls in the casino made finding a date for the night safe and easy with many to pick from. I cant wait to go back once I've rested up.!!!!!!!!!

I cannot express how happy I am with this hotel. Honestly is the best hotel in the world. Food is amazing. Customer service is the best. Rooms have everything you need. The pool is really cool. Location is excellent. They treat you like a princess and even better. I mean you cannot ask for more. Irene the manager is one of the nicest persons I have met. If you are staying in Panama and want to have a great experience, this is the hotel you must stay in. You will have the best time of your life. Also, there are plenty of good restaurants around the hotel and plenty of rent a cars and other services which make your visit to Panama unforgettable.

Simply put, it's a nice hotel, but in the same time it's a whorehouse, good for single and people who look for "entertainment". Not many families, and not even a single kid, noisy and very expensive, especially the NY Steak House

Lured by extra sick days, cheap flights and the promise of warm weather; my husband and I took an uncharacteristic impulse trip to Panama City, Panama. I had instant regrets once our travel details were in order. WHAT A SURPRISE! Panama is a beautiful city with unbelievable shopping--yes, there is a Chanel!--great food and friendly people. Our hotel was lovely and the staff and food exceeded our expectations. I went mainly to relax and spent some quality time at the spa. My husband used to be a big gambler and was pleasantly entertained by the relatively enormous in-house casino; which allowed me to appreciated the previously mentioned malls. ;) I would go back in a heart beat and the Veneto was so comfortable and hospitable that I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Panama!

We stayed and the staff very freindly, clean rooms. I felt that I was at home. Location close to downtown and enjoy the casino. The pool was wonderfull for the kids and the restaurants great food

Make sure you get the breakfast package. They charge over $30 for one person to eat breakfast. Print out your reservation before you go to the hotel. They will fight you hand over foot if you dont have that paper. Lots of women hanging around in the hotel lobby. Uncomfortable for me as a woman.

After three days in the jungle and on the beach, relief washed over us when we stepped into the marble clad , cheerfully busy and above all welcoming lobby of this modern yet traditional Wyndham in downtown Panama. Check in staff was friendly , followed by a polite and knowledgeable bellman who delivered our luggage without the usual hemming and hawing that announces a tip is due. After a nice hot shower in a marble clad bathroom, I slipped into a hotel robe, sat down on the bed and awoke three hours later. The beds here are delicious. The bedding, the pillows, the sheets, the whole works were designed by Morpheus himself. Food was excellent. Giant breakfast buffet with cook to order omelet's and a great (cheap) menu in the casino restaurant that includes addictive beef chimichangas and a deliciously spicy ceviche. The view from the pool is spectacular and we enjoyed socializing with lots of likeminded travelers on a Sunday afternoon. The pool doesn’t have poolside service but drinks and food are readily available at the Pool Bar a couple of steps from the main pool. A good spa gave a decent massage for the price. We used the hotel’s babysitting service so we could enjoy the over 18 casino which had lots of entertainment and is pretty big. We were there on a Saturday night and completely lost track of time. At 2:30 am, the casino was still in full swing . Craps, roulette, black jack and a nice variety of slot machines. Seems like some construction was going on in one area, it was closed off with a mysterious sign about something coming soon that I don’t remember. The crowd was mixed tourists and locals, lots of security around made us feel safe. We ventured out the back of the Veneto to another casino which is right behind it called Fiesta. Looked a little scary for us (we are two women traveling alone) and no visible security. Hotel is in a decent location, cheap cab ride (like 1.25) to almost anywhere in the city Albrook Mall was a couple of dollars more, but really, In NYC you couldn’t go a block on the fares we paid in Panama.
