Casco Viejo
If you’re a first-time visitor wanting to soak up the essence of Panama, then it’s a no-brainer. You simply have to stay in Casco Viejo which is Panama City’s historic district! This charming neighbourhood and Cultural World Heritage Site is where you can explore most of Panama’s attractions from museums and churches to a monument that was a fortress against pirates! Hotel La Compañia is arguably the hotel to stay in for both luxury and a history lesson. It’s made up of three wings: the French Colonial wing, constructed by Jesuit priests in 1739; the Spanish Colonial wing, dating back to 1688; and the American wing, originally an upscale department store, first built in the early 1900s. The five-star Central Hotel Panama Casco Viejo is another winner, situated on the Plaza de la Independencia and featuring a spa, swimming pool and rooftop bar.
Bocas del Toro
del Toro comprises part of Panama’s mainland and a huddle of islands in the Caribbean Sea. It’s a wonderful escape for nature lovers, offering a balance between relaxation and adventure. Eco-certified Hotel Bocas del Toro has glorious waterfront views, and extras such as kayak rentals and in-room massages. Slightly easier on the pocket is Playa Tortuga Hotel & Beach Resort. It’s also on the beachfront with an outdoor pool and a choice between standard rooms and suites, including a Presidential Suite.
Isla Grande
Isla Grande is in the Colón province with a tiny population, which means that you can look forward to peace and quiet in abundance, while enjoying beautiful white sand beaches. It’s one of the best areas to stay for a classic beach holiday experience. Coco Tal Hotel is a budget-friendly option, boasting its own private stretch of beach. Then there’s Paradise Island Beach Hotel, close to Punta Beach, which also has private access and offers fun activities like beach volleyball and a game zone.
