Location: The hotel’s location is excellent, situated right in the heart of Cinta Costera. It offers easy access to the nearby promenade, fine dining options, and popular tourist attractions. Additionally, its proximity to a pedestrian crossing traffic light is a significant advantage in Panama City, making it safer and more convenient to explore the area on foot.

Room: The room was spacious and offered a stunning view of the bay, marina, skyline, and even the old town Casco Viejo in the distance. We enjoyed breathtaking sunrises and sunsets right from our bed. During the Panama Canal Summer Festival—a 3-day celebration marking 25 years of the canal under Panamanian control—we were treated to a spectacular fireworks display directly across from our window.

Beds and Pillows: The beds and pillows were large, plush, and incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful stay.

Shower: The shower was excellent, providing hot water with a steady, strong stream—perfect for relaxing after a long day.

Service: The service ranged from mediocre to outstanding. The housekeeping staff was exceptional, providing the best service during our stay. The front desk was standard, while the breakfast waitstaff fell short, often leaving us waiting for attention.

Breakfast: The breakfast menu rotated daily but consistently featured fresh fruits, juices, coffee, tea, a variety of breads, yogurt, oatmeal, eggs, meats, smoked salmon, and local dishes. There was even a selection of dim sum, adding a nice touch. However, the buffet was understaffed, making it difficult to get coffee or tea refills, which was frustrating and uncomfortable.

Facilities: The hotel offers a range of amenities, including a security box, mini bar, coffee and tea, a gym, spa, tennis court, and a generously sized outdoor pool. These facilities added to the overall comfort and enjoyment of our stay.

Areas for Improvement:

1. Coffee and Tea Service: It would be more convenient to have a self-serve station for coffee and tea, as the current system of relying on waitstaff was inefficient and often left us waiting.
2. Electrical Equipment: The room’s electrical equipment felt outdated, and the outlets were poorly placed and difficult to access, which was inconvenient for charging devices.

Overall Impression: Despite a few shortcomings, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the InterContinental Miramar Panamá and would recommend it to anyone visiting Panamá City. The stunning views, comfortable accommodations, and excellent facilities made for a memorable experience.
