On Shabbat here
- Room keys
- A DansDeals forum poster reported the hotel uses hard (mechanical) keys for room doors; anecdotal, years old and not confirmed by the hotel
- Doors
- Chabad of Panama's FAQ says hotels generally have electric doors and light sensors (Eshel Suites is the exception); rely on staff to open doors
- Elevator and floors
- Same forum report: rooms start around the 17th floor with the lobby on the 15th, so stairs are hard; no Shabbat elevator published
- Staff help
- Kosher Panama says Shabbat there is 'a little inconvenient' but staff try hard to accommodate; Chabad's FAQ says neighbourhood hotel staff will open doors and take guests to their rooms
- Kosher food
- Chabad of Panama serves prepaid Shabbat meals at 9a Calle Gil Colunge (about 10 min walk); reservations close Wednesday evening, and it also offers a Shabbat meals take-out ordering option. Whether anything is delivered to this hotel is not published.
- How observant guests manage
- Walk to shul inside or along the edge of the city eruv; confirm the eruv map that week with Chabad or Shevet Ahim and register with DSI security in advance. Punta Pacífica is inside the eruv per Chabad
