The Saba Hotel

Panama City is the most metropolitan city in Central America. The downtown is a sea of skyscrapers and there are all kinds of international restaurants, swanky nightclubs, and shopping malls throughout town. Travelers will surely enjoy visiting Panamá La Vieja and Casco Viejo, both of which were the city center at one point in time. Trips to the Panama Canal are also interesting—especially when you get to watch huge ships entering or leaving the locks.

The Saba Hotel is located in Panama City’s El Cangrejo neighborhood, which has good restaurants and a fun nightlife. The hotel itself is chic and appealing. The bright color scheme, which incorporates lime green and light orange features, makes the hotel feel modern and cheery. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The hotel’s rooms are modern and clean. The bathrooms are spacious and have large hot water showers; some even have whirlpool bathtubs as well. There are big comfy beds facing a cable TV and a solid air conditioning system that keeps the rooms cool. All rooms also have a mini-bar, in-room safe, and coffee/tea maker. Free wireless Internet is available throughout the hotel.

The Bamboo Cafe serves delicious and healthy meals. Food is available from sunup till sundown, and there are all kinds of options—you might have a Belgian waffle for breakfast, a curry wrap for lunch, and salmon for dinner. Beverages include coffee, tea, juice, and soda.
