Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the verdant tropical rainforest, the sophisticated hotel The Westin Playa Bonita enjoys a paradisiacal setting directly on the golden sandy beach, aptly named the beautiful one. Still, the world-famous Panama Canal is just 10 km away, while Panama City with its picturesque old town (a UNESCO Heritage site), modern facilities and businesses can be reached within a 20-minute drive. |All of the elegant and spacious rooms have private terraces and boast views of either the ocean or of the lush rainforest. A delightful pool area with free-form pools surrounded by terraces with sun loungers, lawns and palm trees offers direct open access to the beach. Guests can work out in the fitness centre and unwind in the sauna, steam room or with a relaxing massage in the excellent spa area. Various restaurants serve delicious food, including Pan-Asian, Pacific Rim and Mediterranean cuisine. A perfect place for a romantic getaway, yet close to the city.|
