Niatupo Holidays from AU$858

This is an excellent little hotel not too far from the “city centre”. All stays include buffet breakfast (630-930am). Rooms were clean, spacious and had a great view of the ocean / marina. A/C, cable tv and WiFi were all standard (WiFi password & QR code are at the front desk). There is also no resort fee or “incidental hold” on my card. I simply walked in with my passport, signed the booking form and collected my keys. There are small snacks and drinks available for purchase at the front desk. Credit card is widely accepted here (and across Panama in general). You’ll rarely find a “cash only” place. That being said, ATMs are abundant and they all spit out USD. Foreign cards are limited to $250usd per withdrawal but there’s nothing stopping you from doing more than 1 transaction. The location is great for a simple stay. You have a great view of the ocean, the entire causeway has a walkway littered with a vast array of foods, snacks and adult dining. Transport to/from the area is a breeze. I’ve gotten Ubers in seconds because they’re always in the area. Cheap transport to places like Biomuseo, Bridge of Americas, Multiplaza Mall, Casco Viejo (<$10 but most averaged $2-4usd) The front desk is versed in both English and Spanish and you can get by just fine if you know little to no Spanish. My only issue was: 1. My room had only a fridge. No microwave. No coffeemaker

The jacuzzi in the room was terrible. Many, many times I tried but could not get it to work. Maintenance came multiple times, but they too had a hard time getting it to work.
