Safety info for Panama:

General: Reasonable in tourist areas.
Watch Out: Station area sketchy after dark.
Scams: Hidden charges on bills.

Stay smart, stay safe.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

This matches my experience. Panama is one of my favorites.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.

Spent about $51/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I was there in January and prices were great value.

Spent about $62/day all-in. Quality was good.

My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Any restaurant recs for the daytime?

Adding my experience from February.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
