Are you looking for something new for your next family or group outing?  Think Panama!  We've been down scouting out the great opportunities in this emerging destination.  We love the rich culture, the uncrowded beaches, the unspoiled landscape, the perfect climate and the value for your dollar.  What surprised us was the high quality of the facilities.

Panama is a very easy to adjust to.  English is widely spoken.  The US Dollar is the currency in circulation.  US Eastern Standard Time is observed.  US citizens do not need a visa to enter the country.  Eco-tourism is abundant.

Our favorite area was Playa Bonita on the Pacific side of the country. It's near the Panama City airport, but worlds away from any vacation you've ever experienced.

The new InterContinental Playa Bonita Resort & Spa has everything we were looking for:

• A 2 kilometer private beach
• Surrounded by a nature reserve and protected mangroves
• Deluxe rooms with ocean views
• Water sports, tennis, volleyball and a 10,000 square foot spa
• Hiking trails through the nature preserve
• Views of the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal
