Tántalo Hotel / Kitchen / Roofbar on Postcard

"Located in Casco Viejo, Tantalo Hotel is a great home base for exploring Panama City. Rooms here are entirely unique, each one featuring work by a different local artist as well as colorful, modern décor and spacious rain showers. When hunger strikes, head to the solid on-site restaurant (get the ceviche), or the stylish rooftop bar, where you can sip watermelon margaritas while enjoy sweeping views across the bay. At night, it’s the place to be, with local partygoers flooding in as soon as the sun goes down."

"Tántalo’s Coco Heaven is a creamy, coconut-and-rum drink perfect for a hot day, featuring watermelon instead of pineapple. Their Tequila Hot Mojito offers a spicy twist on the Cuban classic, combining the sweetness of passionfruit and spiciness of Tabasco." - Michaela Trimble

Went to rooftop bar for drinks and appetizers. Good view. Food was good but pricy . Drinks were good. They had music and then dancers came. They were inviting people to dance and we thought it might be for special occasion for the group but then we realized everyone was invited to dance. Dancers were very friendly and were teaching steps to different songs. We had really good time.

went here while on vacation and we had quite a time with our waiter.... no one really speaks English which isn't the issue due to it being a Spanish speaking country. But as far as keeping up with the orders and billing I think we spent more time on correcting that than we did sitting down to eat it was probably 8 of us. The food was good I ordered the mac n cheese with shrimp which is a huge serving you can easily serve two people with it. It was a very basic mac n cheese I wouldn't recommend it. I also ordered the duck which I wouldn't recommend that either..... come to think of it the only good food came from others plate. the atmosphere is everything!! The rooftop was awesome with a great view and great bar!

Tool my family to dinner here based on a concierge's recommendation. The restaurant is literally the lobby of the hotel; people are weaving between dinning tables with their luggage one Thierry way in and out of the luggage. They spent all their attention and money making social media friendly photo opportunities and forgot to make a decent menu or food. The items are not as described on the menu (e.g. Thai curry chicken is actually sweet and sour chicken) and the portions are so small I had to order 2 entrees for my 6 year old son who doesn't have a big appetite. Everything is about double the price of what I found elsewhere in Panama so you will want to avoid this place. If you just want a picture then walk in, take it, and go some place else to eat.

We have loved the rooftop, loved the dinner and now we love the breakfast! Lap was the best server and the food was out of this world. We were shocked by the reasonable prices for the high quality of food and beverages. The place is beautiful and wild. We appreciate the spirit and vibe of Tantalo and will keep coming back for more!

Make sure to get the breakfast, best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Excellent rooftop bar. Best cheeseburger I’ve had in Panama. Every employee remembered my name after 1 introduction. Incredible service. Amazing neighborhood to walk around in, amazing views out the balcony window.

Nice rooms and friendly staff, but I would never come back to this hotel. They play incredibly loud music until 4am that makes sleeping impossible. The drinks at the rooftop bar are good but the food not recommended : cold fries and tasteless dry burger.

Your restaurant had the most amazing food! Anyolo and Maria Criss provided excellent and kind service to my wife, son, and to me on August 7th, last month. We loved your rooftop bar, perhaps the best in Casco Viejo. I loved your vibrant and exciting art featured in your restaurant. We will recommend you!

We stopped only for drinks, but they were delicious. The bartenders were very friendly and happy to serve. The drink el bosque was so good, and I would also recommend the Patron mule. Overall, every drink we had was great. We are excited to go back and try their food.
