Perfect IF you like to party till the early hours or if you are a heavy sleeper. Music is PUMPING till 2am weekdays and till 4am from Thursday for weekends. If I was 15 years younger this would be a great higher end alternative to staying in stay in.

Very caring front desk staff=Nashda, Jose, and Caroline. Octopus is excellent in dining room. Very comfortable bed. Never met management team for a welcome drink. They, somehow, wish to have loud music until 2-4a.m. in top floor viewing area. They even pass out earplugs for this ill-advised decision.

Loved this hotel, spacious and large room, staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant and very accomodating. Super fun bar on rooftop with great views of city and restaurant in lobby. In the middle of old town with bars and restaurants, stores and cafes. It's not a quiet hotel so up to you if this is for you or not.

Never stay at Tantalo if you want to sleep at nigh

The hotel's rooftop bar is open until 4:00 a.m., loud music, screaming crowd, and the management's reluctance to stop this nightmare, makes the stay at this hotel a torment.

Here’s a draft for your review: ⸻ I had the most incredible birthday weekend at Hotel TANTALO in Panama! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay special—they are truly the most amazing people I’ve ever encountered in any hotel. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care made my birthday celebration extra memorable. The atmosphere, the service, and the overall vibe of Hotel TANTALO are simply unmatched. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone looking for an exceptional hotel experience. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday weekend so perfect! ⸻

We were escorted to our room after we checked in to confirm there were no issues with our room. The Day Dreaming room was wonderful which had a balcony overlooking the street. It was a bit noisy with the bar below and the rooftop bar but that did not bother us. They do provide earplugs in the room but we did not need them. The service, food and drinks were excellent. There were many shops, restaurants and bars just steps away from the hotel. It is also near the cruise port for Norwegian. This was an excellent pick for our overnight stay before our cruise.

Not what it once was but still amazing location

This was our second time here and 5 years ago was the first time. We were a little disappointed this time. The hotel felt a but run down compared to what I was remembering and expecting. Staff were great, and location and rooftop are amazing but the rooms and common areas felt like they needed small repairs or updates and that it had been neglected.
