My husband and I attended the "Grit and Glory" program hosted by Elderhostel - now Exploritas. We loved this hotel and the area. We sat for hours watching shipping traffic go right by our balcony. Fast, free internet throughout hotel. We walked around the former Canal Zone and saw lots of birds and tropical landscaping. TGIFridays at the hotel was... more

A sea of tranquility after the harrowing drive from the airport with a rented SUV dodging crazed Panimanian drivers with no appreciable road signs for guidence anywhere to be found. I felt as if I had been rescued from a desert island upon my arrival at the Country Inn and Suites by Carlson on the incredible Amador Causeway. They speak... more

I stayed four nights at this hotel. The hotel is okay but nothing special - except the location. The only reason to stay here is to have a constant view of the ships going by on the canal right off your balcony.

If you are a traveller (and not a tour bus type) this is not really for you. It scores zero on the cool scale, BUT it is the only hotel on the Canal and has suberb views and a nice pool. It is good for families or if you want to be situated in this part of town. We stayed... more

This hotel was perfect for what we wanted. It was a distance from the airport but, we got a taxi for $40. Which wasn't bad for not pre-booking. It's cheaper if you pre book through the hotel. This hotel is on the Panama canal. If you are coming just for the canal, stay here. Which, Is why we did. We... more
