Top Rio Gatun Hotel Reviews

Radisson Colon 2000 Hotel & Casino at Cruise Port & Duty Free Mall

Radisson Colon 2000 Hotel & Casino at Cruise Port & Duty Free Mall

10/10 Excellent
"The lady at the reception was very helpful,in checking into the hotel she gave a much earlier checkin after a long flight. While checking out on that particular day she extended my check out as I had my flight much later. The hotel was clean and the rooms were very comfortable. The breakfast was consistent as I have stayed at this hotel numerous times,that’s one of the reasons I always choose this hotel over others in Colon. The hotel is also convenient and safe,I have never encountered any unpleasant moments."

"Was alone most of the time, only person running the restaurant was around. Good food. Not really good beach, hard rocks underfoot in water. Town doesn’t have much to say for itself. But if you want tropical quiet then this is the place."
