Central Park Hotel Casino & Spa — Hotel in Bethania

I stayed at the Central Park Hotel this July and enjoyed the location which is in the El Dorado area of Panama City. There were restaurants and shopping close within walking distance. I walked around the neighborhood during the day and did not feel uncomfortable. The staff was very helpful, upon my arrival I was given a room that overlooked a building.

The room had a sink, dining table, microwave and refrigerator. My only complaint they did not have ice machines on every floor. The bed was very comfortable and slept very well. The room had free wifi, a little slow but adequate for my use.||The breakfast was good, you could have eggs, fruit, yogart, toast, etc....enough to carry you through to lunch.||The El Dorado Mall was in walking distance and the Allbrook Mall (one of the largest I think in Panama City) was a short taxi away.

The Casino is small and there were repairs going on.||There was suppose to be a Spa at the hotel.

My favorite is TreScallini across the street.|The rooms are very big with nice view but a very noisy air condition unit. They are equipped with an empty mini refrigerator and a coffee maker.

We stayed here while visiting Panama, the entrance and staff were very pleasant. Little to no English which is fine. When we got of the elevator the vile smell was so bad it made us feel ill. The wall paper was falling off and it felt damp. The room was even worse. It smelt like mould and chemicals. The concrete around the balcony doors and air-conditioning unit was all bubbling and swollen We did not want or trust to go on the balcony.|The good things were that there is a casino for entertainment, diary for any needs and a restaurant just around the corner.|We had to buy air freshener and put the air con on full to try and eliminate the toxic smell.|As we were only there for one night and we had a tour booked we did not try and change the room. We also thought they would...
