    False Advertising.

    This is not a four—or five-star property at all. It is maybe a three-star property at best. The pictures online are from when the hotel was brand new. The hotel and its rooms are in dire need of refurbishment. You will be disappointed when you see your room. There are much better hotels in Panam for the same price.
