Talked to a couple on my trip and they said this is a rough trip and he wouldn't do it again. Apparently its all freaking day. He said the water is nice but he travels enough that he can see this type of stuff anywhere. If you can get away and out of PTY for two days I would suggest spending two night in Boquette. You can fly Panama Air fairly cheap.
@Daichee Bell You must take your family to the restaurant in the Amarla Boutique Hotel in Casco Viejo. Kaandela I'll paste my story from instagram.
Feel free to ask for Robin and tell him this story.
I was looking around Casco Viejo for a post travel cocktail and a bite after a day of traveling from Boca Chica. The owner saw me looking in. The door was locked as they weren't open for a while. Regardless Robin insisted I come in anyway. I had the best old fashioned I've ever had. Talked about development of the area for a while. Based on that and the menu I asked for a table. Robin brought maître d over and was told to come back in an hour when they were open. As soon as I walked in the door "oh you are Mr. John Our guest of honor tonight" Of course they gave me the chefs table. Always the best seat. And everyone was calling me Mr John.
Duck hash and short rib. Sorry I dug into the short rib before I took a picture.
