Lodging & Accommodations

Panama hotels by type

Panama Family Hotels

Panama is a family-friendly culture and many of its hotels are aimed at travelers with children. These hotels might have several beds in a room or offer accommodations with large living areas where the family can relax together. Other hotels might have child-friendly activities, like games or nature hikes, or provide babysitting services.

Panama Luxury Hotels

Whether it’s a personal Jacuzzi, a gourmet restaurant, or an onsite spa, the amenities at luxury hotels are top-of-the-line. Guests of these hotels can expect comfort and quality in all things—there is never a shortage of ways to indulge or unwind. The staff at luxury hotels works hard to ensure that guests have a pleasant experience.

Panama Remote Resorts

Do you really want to get away from it all? If so, then consider staying at a Remote Resort. These hotels are located in rural areas that are typically far from other towns. They offer travelers a secluded setting to relax, enjoy, and explore. Since they are usually quite isolated, these hotels provide you with everything you need. They often have onsite bars and restaurants, and can arrange tours through nearby areas.

Panama Boutique Hotels

Panama’s boutique hotels are ideal for travelers that prefer style to size. These charming hotels often have communal spaces that are well suited for reading or conversation. The guest rooms may be individually decorated, and the restaurant/bar often offers specialty items. Overall, the feel of these places is much more intimate and artsy than a larger resort.

Panama Beachfront Hotels

Beachfront hotels give you instant access to Panama’s coastline. As a guest of one of these hotels, you’ll wake up to the sound of waves and enjoy cool ocean breezes. You can surf, swim, or sunbathe whenever you want — some hotels will even rent surfboards and kayaks to guests. Beachfront hotels can be located right along the shore or set slightly back from the beach. In either case, getting to the sand is a simple matter of taking a few steps forward.

Panama Bed and Breakfasts

Panama’s bed and breakfasts are homey and comfortable. Their welcoming environment is often small and intimate, which allows travelers to get to know the hosts or other guests. The accommodations tend to be uniquely decorated and have personal touches. Even better, each day at a B&B begins with a tasty homemade breakfast.

Panama Hilltop Hotels

Hilltop hotels allow you to wake up to some of Panama’s top vistas. Look out your window and see rolling hills, swaths of rainforest, and bright blue stretches of beach.

Panama Town Center Hotels

Travelers that are looking for convenience and activity will enjoy town center hotels. These hotels are set near the restaurants, bars, shops, and bus stops in various Panamanian towns. They are less peaceful than rural accommodations, but they provide excellent opportunities for engaging in Panama’s city life.

Panama All-Inclusive Hotels

Panama’s all-inclusive hotels offer travelers the easiest and most stress-free way to enjoy Panama. All-inclusive hotels include both lodging and meals in one set price — thus allowing you the freedom and flexibility explore Panama without worrying about what you’ll eat later. Many of these hotels are located in Panama City or near popular beach destinations.

Panama Midrange Hotel

Midrange hotels are the most abundant type of hotel in Panama. They can be found in most destinations and usually include a solid offering of amenities. Guests can expect clean rooms, friendly service, and comfortable facilities. These hotels typically range from $50-100 per night.

Panama Business Hotels

Panama is a mecca for business and there are many hotels that cater to business travelers. Business hotels typically have amenities like wireless Internet, conference rooms (complete with AV equipment), printing/faxing services, and workstations. Meetings and events can usually be conducted onsite. These hotels are often in Panama City.

Bed and breakfasts will take you to clean and charming cities such as Pedasí; you can take whale-watching day tours and roam through a town full of friendly locals. By contrast, a bed and breakfast in Gamboa will have you adjacent to Panama City, and steps from jungle treks and birdwatching excursions.

Going on a family vacation to Panama? You can get the little ones easily up and fed at the start of the day when you stay at hotels that offer a complimentary breakfast. From Playa Blanca to Isla Bastimentos, you'll be ready for a full day of adventure — a great perk if you and your family are going to be surfing Panama's beaches.

Not sure where you want your adventures to lead you yet? Boutique hotels will take you to the Gulf of Chiriquí or bohemian Bocas Town, while a hilltop hotel in Boquete will offer sweeping jungle views from the heart of the rainforest. From rafting to snorkeling, and birdwatching to coffee tours, your Anywhere Travel Expert is ready to help you find the perfect accommodations to complement your Panama vacation activities. Let this list inspire your next dream vacation — in Panama.
