Extended Stay Panama Hotels

Of all the quick trips from Panama City, Panama, Isla Grande is my favorite. Isla Grande is 2 hours, instead of the 1 hour trip to the Royal Decameron, Playa Blanca, Coronado or Punta Barco. It also includes a long and bumpy ride down the last stretch of road into the parking lot at the marina, but I think it’s worth it.

You’ll find crisp, clean water, wonderful people and some great restaurants, bars, hotels and resorts. At Banana’s, you’ve got bargain style resort life with amenities that include kayaks, a small bar and a small and not so clean beach. But if you’re traveling on a budget, it’s a good place to stay that gives you access to Isla Grande and Portobelo.
