    I’ve been there. Is nice. Last time I went, only staff at reception spoke English, so be careful to point out to them everything you need. They’re really helpful. I really liked the customer service.

    Regarding the article (not the hotel):

    If you’re going to publish an article about the history of Isla Grande, I was expectine to see a little bit of effort and research done by establishing DATES, landmarks and points of interest.

    Congos are not believers in magic! They’re superstitious, but NOT believers in magic! They believe in miracles and the sort! Get your facts right!

    ¡Si eres panameño, vete por un tubo! Vergüenza te debe dar poner cosas que no son en una página sometida al escrutinio del mundo…
