This review is for their New Year's Eve party that they hosted. My wife and I searched around for a really nice party in Panama City. We found this one, booked it and loved it. The dinner buffet was a lot bigger and better than we expected and I had a ton of drinks (all you can eat and drink). The food was a wide variety with people cutting/grilling meats, a sushi table, salad table, pasta station, fried rice station, various heated dishes, and a bunch of desserts. The live music was excellent with dance songs played in-between sets. They also had a setup for some nice photos. Overall we really enjoyed it and highly recommend this as your NYE party destination.

The location of the hotel was in a good spot and very close to many other places to visit. The hotel staff was very nice and accommodating. They welcome you at the door and carry your bags to your room. The room is really nice and the view was nice as well. My only issue is that the water was not as hot as I would like, it was giving luke warm. I also didn’t like the fact that they charge and extra 25$ for a late checkout of an hour. The food was pretty good and the steak was top tier at their restaurant called La Cajita.
