Where to stay in Panama – Our hotel recommendations
Panama reserves hotels from the simplest houses to luxurious resorts, so it is very important to research well where you want to stay. For example, Panama City is the urban center of the country, with skyscrapers and five-star hotels.
On the other hand, the islands of San Blas are inhabited by the Kuna Yala indigenous population, where only they can invest and profit from tourism. Which makes the structure of the inns much simpler. However, there are many boats where you can stay and make your trip an adventure through more than 300 islands in the region.
