Piamonte — Hotel in Los Santos

This is one of the nicest hotels we stayed in during our trip through Panama in this price range ($33). We looked at the rooms first and chose one that had a small window (many don't have windows so check first!). The internet was good, bed was new and cozy, internet was reliable, loved the AC. The hotel was nice and quiet.||||If you're really on a budget, this hotel has rooms right across the street that are smaller and have no AC ($26). We looked at them and decided the space and AC was worth paying extra for.||The location was really convenient too. A block from a supermarket, and a block from the central square. A couple blocks to the bus area. ||||Leave your key at the front desk if you want them to clean your room.||||There is a restaurant just down the street called "Los Portales" which seems to be open for lunch only - go there! Local women run the place, and they are really talented. There's no real menu - we just asked for "Pescado" (fish) and they brought us a meal.

Mold and mildew everywhere in the bathroom. ||TripAdvisor you should have this property blacklisted and recommend people not stay here. ||Do not stay here. There is a new hotel that I hear is really nice. The Presidente. We will stay...

We popped into the restaurant for lunch and noticed it was all locals which is always a good sign. ||||My husband ordered the smoked tuna soup for $4.50 that came with rice and plantains. He said it was the best fish soup he's had in his life so that's saying a lot. ||||My son ordered the curry chicken with rice and plantains for $5.75 and loved it. Both dishes were on the specials menu. ||||I wasn't very hungry so I got a strawberry shake that was delicious and made with real, fresh strawberries. ||||This little restaurant is a gem. If you find yourself in Las Tablas, Panama, pop on in. You'll be...
