I used to live in Panama and remember when this beautiful looking hotel was being built. The view from the 18th floor was incredible. The staff in the lobby, reception, restaurant and in the business center were very professional and courteous. The room was spacious and pretty clean. For the room rate that was charged, the hotel was not worth... more

We stayed here on our first and last day while on vacation in Panama. The rooms are nice and quiet, and the hotel offers your typical amenties(business center, exercise equipment, bar, restaurant, swimming pool, and tennis courts). A year ago this was ocean front property but now today it's approximately 100 yards away and right in between two busy streets.... more

Stayed at the Miramar in early February, 2009 on vacation. The location is good and the service is much better than average. There is a new multi-lane highway being built in front of the place which makes for a very noisy stay. When we commented about it the front desk, without asking, was willing to move us to another location... more

A freeway is being built in front of the hotel so expect noise. Appalling service in the restaurant and the 5th Floor bar. Hygiene standards in the bar non-existent. Spirit measures left in dirty water on the counter. unlabeled 5 Ltr containers being used for mixers. Staff don't wash hands. Glasses rinsed and not dried. Concierge useless. Get room higher... more

Our family (1 teenaged daughter) spent a few nights toward the end of our Panama vacation at the Miramar. It's a large, business oriented hotel - completely predictable, which can be either good or bad. Not much character, but everything worked, and the location and pool (big hit with teen) created an excellent oasis to get away from the traffic... more

While the Marriott has far better service and perfect rooms, and is good for the business traveller, tourists are better off at the Miramar, warts and all. The Miiramar is only worth it if you book a deluxe ocean view - that way, you get a balcony and a truly fantastic view of the ocean and also the ships arriving... more

Although the staff was friendly, there were numerous problems at this very disappointing Intercontinental. Compared to other Intercons, this was well below average. First, the rooms for this level of a hotel are a bit beat up. The furniture needs to be replaced and walls showed numerous nicks and scuffs. The concierge was completly worthless and cleary had no "pull"... more

I read the previous review and disagree. This Intercontinental is quite different to other locations in that chain, as the reviewer pointed out, for a start it doesn't have carpeting. With that said, it doesn't make it a bad hotel. I have stayed at this hotel on several occassions and my review is based on a conglomerate of these stays.... more
