The attention is excellent, but rooms in villas are too humid, and water runs everywhere. If in the middle of the night you have a problem, there´s no one of maintenance department to solve it, so you will have to be located in another room. Go karts do not exist since 6 years ago. Pools are closed on week days.... more

If you want to be isolated, and away from the real flavor of the country, this place is ideal. There are no planned activities or a designated way of informing you about the resort. It happens haphazardly, or if you happen to ask a question about the resort. A worker will take you in a vehicle and show you the... more

They forgot us at the airport. Then when we got to the hotel someone was in our room. Then they had no more suites so they put us in a studio. Next day they put us in a suite but it was so noise we couldn't sleep. After third day there we got a quiet suite that we had paid... more

This is the ideal hotel if you want to be isolated from anything of beauty, with awful food, and an inconvenient location. Although some reviewers like the "new tower" - because "the rooms are large" - we had our minds set on the 1-bedroom Villa Suites that are featured on the websites and look incredibly nice. Unfortunately the area where... more

Unless you have a reason to be out in the boondocks, on a very busy road, then there is no good reason to uses this hotel. Though the rooms were large and clean there is little else to commended this hotel. It is a $30 taxi ride from both the city and the airport. NOTE: It is NOT an eco-lodge.... more

After reading several reviews, I went with an open mind. (My trip to the Dominican Republic was hell so Panama couldn't be much worse.) I don't spend much time in my room...my wishes are simple. I need clean bedding, a warm shower, and a bug free zone. I chose the Avalon as a time-share exchange. The Avalon is a distance... more

We spent 2 weeks at the Avalon Grand in Panama City, Panama. The room was spacious, clean and offered a wonderful view of the Panamanian Hills. All rooms came equipped with a refridgerator and coffee maker. We would leave our balcony door open at night and be awakened the next morning by roosters and the plethora of birds! We had... more

Read the negative reviews and so was prepared for the worst. However, I found the new tower (opened in November and connected to the lobby) to be beautiful, clean, spacious rooms and baths, cable tv and wetbar/refrigerator/microwave. It is located in an area about 30 minutes (traffic wise) from Panama City. But, for us, we loved the fact that we... more

The ride from Tocumen airport is approximately 30 minutes by taxi. The taxi’s, in general, are held together with spit, bailing wire and duct tape and manage to continue running despite the punishment administered by the drivers. The horns are used constantly to either “say hello” to a fellow driver or “get out of my way’ to pedestrians and other... more
