Our Stay in Panama
We took advantage of the Copa Airlines Panama Stopover Program and booked a stay at the InterContinental Miramar Panama Hotel—and it exceeded all expectations! Located right on Avenida Balboa, this waterfront property has the feel of an all-inclusive resort with its lush amenities, family-friendly atmosphere, and unbeatable location.
From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the shimmering Panama City skyline. Our high-floor room offered a panoramic view of both, making sunrise and sunset moments to remember. This hotel is in a prime location, within walking distance of Cinta Costera (a beautiful coastal path), shopping centers, and great local dining options.

There’s also a separate shallow pool just for little ones, making it ideal for families. Towels and seating are plentiful, and there’s even poolside service so you can enjoy snacks and drinks without ever leaving your lounger.

The Bay View Restaurant offers an expansive buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as an à la carte menu featuring both Panamanian and international cuisine. We enjoyed everything we tried—and the breakfast buffet had something for everyone, from tropical fruits and omelets to fresh pastries and local dishes.
There’s also a lobby bar that serves cocktails and small plates, perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing.

Everyone we interacted with was warm and helpful. Whether it was holding the door, offering assistance with luggage, or simply saying hello, the staff made us feel at home. They were especially kind to our daughter, and we noticed a lot of families during our stay.
