Starting to plan a trip to Panama this summer. Me, husband , 2 kids (13 and 16). We loved the beaches of costa rica last august and want to replicate some of that laid back feeling we had there. I can't figure out where to fly to and how to avoid taking little planes once I am there (i can't fly on them). We will have about 2 weeks and do not mind driving around. I got some great advice from Fodors last time around. Any suggestions for a great itinerary? We would like to stay in 2-3 different places during the 2 weeks.
THanks

Gamboa Resort around Panama City
Yandup Island Lodge is very special in Kuna Yala
Radisson Decapolis nice for price in PC
just fly into PTY and bus or rent a driver/guide from $50/da
www.weather2travel.com climate guide rains a lot there
after April...
thank you so much for your advice - I will look into all of the places mentioned. We went to costa rica last august and we were so nervous about the rain but it turned out that it rained just a little bit each day and the rest of the time it was great. Is that what we can expect in Panama or will it just pour all day and night??
thanks

We used them last year on our trip to Panama. They were amazing with our kids. I wrote a trip report that you can check out - click my name to find it.
We only stayed in Panama City and took day trips - but they do offer more.
I was going to suggest Sendero but I see MiamiBeachMomma did it already.
Enjoy Panama

Panama City Radisson Decapolis good value for me
isla-contadora.com if time
Yandup Island in Kuna Yala VERY exotic if time
Expect lots of rain and heat usually prefer winter there
Like South America lots cooler late summer early fall
Lots less storms guanguiltagua.com Ecuador my absolute
fav for wildlife biodiversity then.
Happy Planning!
