Great relaxed tropical paradise: ISLA GRANDE Best backpacking experience: Bocas del Toro (Isla Colon)

Bring everything, lots of cool bed breakfasts in the area.

just a plane landing site, starting point to several islands of san blas archipelago. Robinson's place is fine, but bring lots of water and food, as they cook like hell. Or buy fresh lobsters from local fishermen and do your own thing. a botttle of good rum matches perfectly to coconut-water and a bonfire. a machete will help cutting the many coconuts you will find, but a good swiss knife does it as well.The island offers nothing but mediocre snorkelling and sun-bathing. you can spot small barracudas.

great place for some relaxing days - good food and some short but nice hikes nearby

Stay at Hotel Galicia! It's really beautiful, has spacious rooms, and after only a couple hours you actually get used to the acrid odor.

Hotel La Mejorana in Guararé, Los Santos, Panama

They call the Holandes Cay "the Swimming Pool", and there is great snorkeling in relatively protected waters.
