My husband and I have a passion for traveling. I'm grateful we had the chance to visit Panama City. For us, in choosing a hotel, the location is the most critical aspect. We also wanted a boutique hotel because we wanted a distinctive theme as opposed to just any generic Panama hotel. After few researches we decided to stay at the Bristol.

When my sister invited me for a vacation in Panama City, I was a bit hesitant to join her. I'm really not sure what to expect. Gladly, Panama is a beautiful country. I also enjoyed our stay at Panama Marriot hotel. It has a good safe location. It is very convenient for us. There are times we skip the hotel's restaurant and walk around a few blocks from the hotel and we have a variety of choices of eating places.

When traveling off the beaten path to unspoiled, virgin landscapes, the human heart has a tendency to want to preserve it and claim it all at once. European couple Victoria and Max tried to grasp the best of both worlds when they purchased a small peninsula on Isla Boca Brava in the Chiriqui Golf and constructed an eco-friendly boutique hotel.

I had heard something weird and wonderful was brewing at Posada de los Destiladeros and I wanted to sip from its cup. In the past, every time I had tried to make a reservation, I was suspiciously told they were full. “In the middle of rainy season?" I'd ask. “And On a Tuesday?” It took some finagling the last time I arrived in Pedasi, but as the result a fresh stick of Juicy Fruit chewing gum, a vacant room magically appeared.

Taking a tip from their name, Tranquilo Bay is a terrifically ´tranquil´ place. The owners are unusually sincere, the tours are outstanding, and the overall feeling is that you are a guest in their home, not a customer in their hotel.

In my opinion The Bristol is the most detail-oriented hotel in the country. While it´s not super glitzy like a Ritz, the service and attention to detail is as good as anywhere I`ve been in the world. You`ll receive your own business cards when you arrive, personalized with your room number and fax on them should you be doing any business during your stay.
