Every time I go I notice something else that I dislike about this originally delightful Island in the Atlantic side of Panama. The water is simply dirty, the crowd is not respectful enough of the place, and that is a true pity.

My wife and 10 year old daughter and I took a tour from Panama City to the Isla Grande in the Caribbean with PBA Holding Group offered through our hotel. It is a 2 hour ride and then a 5 minute boat ride to the island. They provide lunch and refreshments and you stay on the island for about 4...

The tranquility of this beatiful area located in the Caribbean part od Panama invited us to do snorkling. We saw people doing scuba and surfing. There are some nice hotels and lodges in the area and we saw scuba diving offices.

Just a normal island, with normal restaurant and normal beaches. There are much better beaches in Panama by Bocas del Toro or San Blas. It's nice for a day, maximum two.

Isla Grande it's an island in the Atlantic Ocean. With small hotels and guest houses and fantastic sea food -so cheap- on every corner. It's 2 hours from Panama City and 1 hour from Colon. You can stop in Portobelo before reaching to Isla Grande and visit the Cristo Negro (a must see). The trip is full of greenery and...
