Panama City, Panama - A fancy hotel right downtown is El Panama - it sports a FLOATING Bar in the pool , great rooms, fantastic service, and great scenery... Good bars are right around the block: Taboo's, My Place, and Bacchus. (They start hopping LATE and are open till the morn.) The Caesar Park is an excellent hotel for a one night stay: bar/casino, multiple restaurants. Not near town-- 10 minute cab ride downtown. Will be stuck in hotel, but it is an excellent stay. The Marriott is one block from the El Panama. (In my opinion) by far nicest hotel in the city, great sports bar and awesome hotel spa/gym all inside govt rate. This Marriott is only 1-2 years old. Previous marriott is now Ceasars park.
