People were friendly and helpful, rooms very big and nice, 2 king size beds. Towels and linens nice and clean. AC worked great and it was very quiet at night. Food in restaurant good. Difficulty getting internet access. Out of water for a while, but they fix things fast. Room key did not work, but got fixed later. Water park in back was open Sunday […] and it is very nice for kids, it was busy, but friendly atmosphere. Overall a pleasant stay. Mehr

This hotel is VERY, VERY run down. The grounds are extemely uncared for, and the halls were kept dark (no lighting). The pool and its surroundings was dirty. The walk ways were littered with falling tree leaves and lems. Also looks as though the green allergy/mold had not been washed away in years. The rooms smeld old and moldy. When we checked in the […] computer system to the rooms did not work, so we had to be escorted to our room, which by the way had no hot water. The internet service was unbelievably poor if worked at all. It felt like I was in a horror movie (The Shining and/or The Bates Hotel in the movie Psycho). I would NEVER recommend this hotel; not even to my enemies. Their website is TOTALLY. to say the least misleading. Mehr

Terrible place. I don't even know where to start. The hotel is quite old and smells of mildew. That alone is not enough to write a negative review IMO. Where this hotel really misses the mark is on customer service. The front desk was extremely rude. Every small request we made (such as requesting the phone number for a nearby restaurant) was met with […] dirty looks and smirks. The hotel's restaurant has an awful menu, and worse service. Wifi and AC were promised, but neither worked. On top of all of this, the location is quite inconvenient. Far away from the city. I hardly ever write reviews, but I had to make some comments about this hotel. Don't stay there. Please! Mehr

We felt avalon has its glory in the past, but these days they can't keep it up, rooms are ok and comfortable, but all the facilities are outdated... I thank the staff for all their help, but I don't feel staying here again, besides that it is farther than I though.

This hotel simply did not deliver. It was in the middle of no where. It would have cost us US30 each way to reach downtown plus at least 30 minutes. It was 30 minutes from the city airport and another US25.00. The "resort" is run down and passed it's prime. Albeit we were there in the off season, we could tell as soon as we entered that we had made […] a mistake in booking it. The rooms were very large and clean BUT there was no hot water! This is a US50 to US70 night property, don't pay twice as much as we did! The internet was also down so we couldn't even call to make other arrangements...needless to say, we were disappointed and lodged a complain with Expedia to review the hotel rating. Mehr

First the hotel is too far from the Airport, about 30 mins and it cost me $33.00 USD for a taxi to get to the hotel and $ 30 USD from the hotel to the Airport because they do not provide a free shuttle. AC worked for about half an hour, next thing the water was just a little warm. Well don't talk about the complimentary breakfast, that was bread - white […] or whole wheat with butter and you could order something from the kitchen, which when I did, let me just say I had to just get up and leave the table without eating it. I do not which to say any more because it is bringing back too much bad feelings. Mehr

Very poor service. Hotel seems to be going out of business. Room keys not provided as front desk clerk had to open the room for us. No Airconditioning in our frist room so we moved to another room... Electricity went out then no water for about 6 hours,,,,,,, Need i say more??

Great but key card machine broke and could not issue keys to anybody. Had to ask staff to open room every time. Internet went down 2nd day but they offered a cellular internet stick for those with a PC. AC worked great, hot water worked. Overall, happy with stay.

The Avalon hotel just to be a classy place where you can spect to find good service and confort, now, the hotel is lacking maintenance, the restaurant food is terrible, there are no phones in the room to comunicate with the outside world, just within the premises, and the pools, that are part of a water park, as well as and individual ones, are not […] being use or kept. Its a shame because, is located in the midle of a park sorrounded by trees and nature in a very private area.There are no signs to indicate wich way is the exit to the main road, so is very easy to get lost. Will I ever stay at the hotel again?, I believe this was my last time. Mehr

hotel is past its prime perhaps by 15 years broken concrete, missing lights some closed pavilions spotty wi fi quite a musty smell every where hotel has a lot of old fashioned charm but expensive for the quality also located in the absolute middle of nowhere $30 plus to get anywhere which adds up

THe hotel is on a beautiful hill and easy to find. The staff are very helpful--we were very late (well past midnight) and the concierge waited for us. The hotel is clean, but needs minor repairs to look more inviting. Breakfast is plentiful but only so-so. The rooms are gigantic and the AC works! PRice is right, so take that into account.

Authentische Expedia-Gästebewertung

Well the hotel must inform they are probably in renovation. The ceiling are black too much humidity. The restaurant service very low quality. It,s far of everything!

You have to take taxi (15-20$ one way), if you are coming first time to this hotel. It takes around 30 minutes, busy times even more to come to the hotel from Panama City. There isnt shopping possibility nearby. It seems to be popular hotel among locals in summer time because there is small water park for families and especially for children but autumn […] was very quiet. If you are afraid of high places this hotel is not for you. Amazing view from tenth floor. Also asthmatic persons should look for more new hotel. Food is very good in hotel restaurant and prices little bit under average if you compare them in prices in Europe. It must have been very georgious and beautiful building when it was built and you still can feel the atmosphere but nowadays its rather old although personnel takes good care of place and cleanliness. Very good customer service, they can handle you well and some of hotel staff speaks english good. Mehr

The hotel was pretty, It had a lot of mildew and mold, I slept with the balcony door open for the two nights that I was there.. My asthma got worse , so it was like a health hazard for me. I move to another hotel for the remaining of my trip.

Authentische Hotels.com-Gästebewertung

Staff were quite friendly and the hotel and especially the room was extremely clean, comfortable and neat. I stayed at the Avalon in August and the hotel was very quiet. The restaurant area was also very clean, very neat and well attended. The meals are very competitively priced, good value for money, fresh, tasty and plentiful. However, note the following, […] the nice brochures with the photos of the beautiful waterworks are a fallacy. The outside of the hotel needs a serious bit of maintenance and the waterworks, slides waterpark and other external amenities are in total disrepair and is non-existant. The area around the hotel is extremely poor so forget strolls in the evening. It is quite far from the business and banking district, approximately 1 to 1 and a half hour in morning traffic. Taxi fare to the banking district in August 2011 were $20 - $25 one way. Remember to negotiate fares as the taxis do not have meters. For non Spanish speakers the buses are a no-go as it is impossible to know where you will end up, therefore the taxis are your only option. Mehr

The hotel is located outside the city so to get to anything you need a taxi, and most taxi's will charge you $30+ to go anywhere. The hotel has a water park, but my fiancee and I didn't use it at all since it was kinda uncomfortable to be out in the sun for very long. The hotel service is amazing, and they provide pretty much whatever you need, but […] unfortunately since it is not really located by anything getting anywhere is annoying. Over all it was a nice stay but next time I play on staying somewhere closer to the attractions. Mehr

The hotel looks nice from the outside. Once inside the hotel the problems begin. The room was smelled so strongly of mold and mildew that we spent less than one hour in the room before we had to leave the hotel. We did not return. I strongly recommend this hotel be removed from Hotels.com as it is most certainly un healthy.

Avalon Grand Panama is out of town in the country. Expensive Taxi because of the distance. No maps of Hotel grounds, no wi-fi or connections. Pool outside dirty and small. Bees nest outside my door that staff ignored even after 4 requests. Food undercooked with flys and other insects on food. Difficult to get a taxi to come out. Most Taxi driver's did […] not know where Avalon Grand Panama was located. Mehr

This property is too far from Panama City to visit any sites without spending considerable sums for taxi's. No regular transportation shuttles provided by the hotel to local areas of interest. Most of the staff did not have English speaking skills so brush up on your Spanish.

Everyone I talked with in Panama kept asking why I was staying at this hotel. From the map it appears close to the city but is actually 30-45 minutes. Locals call it a resort hotel. I guess if your like a remote location and accommodations that resemble an asylum, then this is your place. NO WIFI in the rooms, spotty WIFI in the common areas. SPA not […] as advertised. My office monitor is larger than the rooms TV. All that said, the staff was helpful, the food was good and it was a cheap place to stay. A good vacation spot if you want quiet. NOT A GOOD BUSINESS TRAVELER HOTEL. Mehr

After just one night in the city center, we decided to move to a better hotel, but still affordable. We found a great offer on hoteles.com and got a junior suite! The hotel really offered great value, the restaurant had a nice menu with good food, and the on-site waterpark is good fun for waterlovers. The only drawback is the distance from the city. […] We knew it was situated in the outskirts of Panama ciudad, but had hoped to use the public bus system. As this was not a succes (overloaded, traffic jams, and many transfers to get anywhere), the only option was to use taxis, which is more expensive, but still quite affordable once you get a feel for the rates and know how to bargain. Still, I can recommend the Gran Avalon to everyone. Mehr

Although the hotel was far from downtown, it would have been easy to find if the city maps and signs were clear. I mentioned to them the fact that the hotel sign was not easy to see. The second time we stayed the sign seemed to have better lighting, but I don't know if they improved it or I was more aware of the location and after 2 weeks in Panama […] more aware of the fact that the county has very few signs and they are far in between.

I was very disappointed on this hotel. It looks very nice from the reviews and photos. When you get there it is not even close to what you might expect.
