About About the place

Avenida Balboa is a modern, bustling thoroughfare along Panama City’s waterfront, constructed using earth excavated during the Panama Canal expansion. It’s renowned for the Cinta Costera, a beautifully landscaped coastal strip providing ample space for walking, biking, and jogging. The avenue offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the city skyline, and Casco Viejo. It serves as a central hub with access to the fish market, numerous restaurants, hotels, and parks, though traffic can be heavy. While primarily a modern space, it provides a key connection to Panama City’s historic districts and embodies the city’s dynamic energy.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!

The hotel was a nice place to stay and the best part here was the free wifi and free parking which is the hardest thing to find in this city. The hotel was well equipped and the staff was very professional. The rooms were big enough and it was a decent stay which also included breakfast.

This place is filled with tourist attractions so you have a lot of options for sightseeing. We made a list of places we wanted to see and missed out on a few museums and other places. Overall we really liked the city and the places here and it was an amazing vacation with the family.

If you visit this place, you will be mesmerized by the sheer beauty of this city. It's like everywhere you look, you end up with fantastic views of nature and pure gorgeous scenes. The holiday could not have been any more pretty and relaxing.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

This is a beautiful city which is known for its historic locations with so many stories associated with it. There are plenty of locations and lots to see here. It is a place where you will never be bored. Take a guided tour and make sure you visit all the places and trust me it will be worth it.. This is an amazing street with lots of ancient buildings and so many shops from where you can purchase so many things. The street is the most happening point of the city and has a lot to see and do. A lot of great cafes and restaurants are also there which are the best places to try out some tasty food and indulge in nice drinking. It was a great experience.

We have visited a lot of parks but this was simply amazing. The walking trail was filled with lush green trees and the pathway was just beautiful. The lake and the mountain in the park are stunning and they also have a kids play area which is a plus for us.

This was a beautiful park which has pretty scenery and lush greenery. It has walking pathways with proper trails lined with pretty trees and there are also plenty of benches to sit there for the people. The musical fountain was the highlight and it was amazing.

This park is amazing and has beautiful scenery. It is a perfect spot to take a good walk or even go for a run. There is a dedicated trail, well managed in the park. The trees by the trail are just beautiful and provide a lot of good air. There are also benches in the park where you can sit and relax.
