Leave Panama City today for Playa Bonita on the Pacific coast. Surrounded by beach and rainforest, Playa Bonita is located near Playa Veracruz and Bridge of the Americas. Take a beach towel and soak in the sunshine on the secluded bay just steps from your room, then enjoy a seafood meal at one of the hotel's excellent restaurants.
Spend the morning relaxing on the beach or paddle out on the warm waters on a kayak. Enjoy a sensory spa experience, or engage in a game of beach soccer or volleyball.
From the tour desk in the lobby, book a tour to the Gamboa rainforest including boat tours, fishing, and birdwatching (additional cost). Be amazed by Panama's natural landscapes just miles away.
Take the opportunity today to see Panama's claim to fame, the Panama Canal! The Miraflores Visitor Center is the ideal place to observe canal operations. From large balconies, you can watch as the lock gates open and close for ships to start or complete their journey through the Panama Canal.
Bid Panama goodbye as you transfer back to Panama City airport for your flight home.
