Just back from a 10 night stay. Reception area probably the nicest part of this hotel. Rooms are OK however do not waste your money asking to upgrade to a sea view as all balconies are concrete so sitting down you cannot see anything you need to stand up. All inclusive is only for local drink only, if you want a pina colada for example they make this with malibu rum therefore you have to pay, I don't understand why this cannot be made with their local white rum. The young barman (didn't catch his name) is miserable, unhelpful and has a can't be bothered attitude. Dolores very friendly and Bruno in the restaurant polite. From Thursday to Sunday/Monday lots of stag/hen parties round the pool, very rowdy, noisy and not relaxing at all. The sun loungers round the pool are so close together it's like sardines in a tin, spent most of the time at the beach which is lovely. Breakfast and lunch ok however evening meals not great, very repetitive, food not hot. They have a couple of microwaves however this just makes the food soggy so we did a few nights eating out which is much better. Tables at the pool bar outside do not get cleaned regularly and some are disgusting. Had a couple of power cuts whilst there which is not good especially for elderly guests on the high floors or disabled guests. The power was off quite a few hours and again the next morning. I will definitely be back to Palma Nova however will definitely not stay at Globales Panama and would not recommend it.

The rooms are clean and neat. The beach is 5 minutes by walking. The food was average, not good for a 4 star hotel. Everything seemed extra; they charge a deposit for beach towels and to use the safe in your own room.

We’ve spent wonderful 7 days in Panama Hotel and I can truly say that it was great! I’ve read loads of reviews about this hotel and I can say that the food is a bit the same (we’ve had a couple of theme dinners with sushi, pizza and prawns), but the rest was pretty much the same: chips, salads, chicken, pork. But at the same time, there were plenty of types of cheese, salamies, jamon, fresh fruits and vegetables. Breakfast is usually based on English breakfast preferences, but also variety of prepared eggs and fresh pastry.
The staff was always friendly and helpful, just want to thank you for your constant smiles!
Dolores (the star of this hotel, always chatty and glad to make the tastiest cocktail for you), Abel, Mohamed, Mustapha, Jose and the kitchen staff you are all fantastic!!!
Our room was clean and well preserved (we’ve been on 6th floor), towels have been changed every 2 days. We had a fridge in the room and could buy cans of beer to enjoy on the beach. Also, we were absolutely impressed that we could watch videos and had video calls using WiFi in the hotel everywhere!
The beach is 6 min walk and the see was very pleasant to swim in, we basically spend 80% of time there. We’ve taken beach towels, but could also rent a sun bed for 6, 50€/day.
The swimming pool is big enough for all people, there was no need to wake up early morning and book a sun bed on the swimmeling pool area as we always could find any spares

Night time food was very much the worst I have experienced EVER on holiday, even with being first in line the pasta was already cold...not even warm!!
Breakfast was much better.
Christina on reception was so warm & welcoming.
Also unfortunately did not catch the lady's name who provided the entertainment, such a beautiful smile made everyone's night (hard-working lady)
The hotel was very peaceful at night & very clean.
A good experience if you don't have an evening meal.
Don't stay for the magic show...sorry but it was just awful, all the other singers were brilliant 😀

Great hotel, large rooms, staff are helpful.
The location is close to the beach/shops/public transport.
The food is good, lots of choice. I would recommend all inclusive as drinks can add up to quite a lot if you pay separate (even coffee and fizzy drinks).
Only thing I didn’t like is some of the guests can be really noisy but that is not the hotel’s fault of course.
