Has anyone been to Panama recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
