 I had an overnight connection in Panama City and needed a hotel with internet.Hotel Riande Aeropuerto apparently the only hotel actually close to the airport claims to have WiFi on their website. However, my wife (who's first language is Spanish) stayed there and they hadn't a clue about any WiFi and pointed to a computer guests could use. She also found the unfriendly, so I decided not to stay there. Hotel Roma Plaza claimed to have it in their coffee shop. I had a reservation with them, but they left me at the airport (their pickup service appears to be so convoluted that they won't pick anyone up). Since Hotel Roma left me stranded in the airport, I found the El Panama (they had a rep in the airport, and seemed to be the only hotel so presented). The rep said they had internet in the rooms. I was skeptical so I had lunch and then found free wifi in the airport. On El Panama's website they said they had internet at extra cost. Ok. It turned out to be $13/day or so from a private (not the hotel) company. The wifi was so so from the hotel it would cut out regularly for brief periods, even though the signal was strong (the internet, not the signal would cut out). The El Panama hotel was not worth the $130/night before the internet. The air conditioner from the room next door leaked cold water on my bathroom floor (and they ignored my call for assistance). After two hours I went to the front desk and then they sent someone and claimed their fixed it. From the watermarkers on the wall, I suspect the next guest is in for the same surprise. The room included buffet breakfast. The fruit selection was good, but the room was freezing cold and the staff was more interested in putting advertisements for stuff you could buy for breakfast than servering coffee. The lack of attention and cold environment left me looking for a second cup of coffee in the airport. The same company that provided the internet in the hotel also had it in the airport (but nothing like full coverage in the airport). It worked and I didn't have to pay another $13 (though I found free wifi in the airport the day before). However, in the middle of my surfing the signal went from good to nothing and no service for 8 minutes or so. All said, I would avoid fights with overnight in Panama City next time. |
