    Nice Facility and Excellent Buffet
    What a beautiful location but in a terribly run down area. Arrived at 1;30 PM and was told our room wouldn't be ready until 3:00. We left and visited another place on the canal and came back later. We visited the bar and was the only one in the building. Later that night we…

    Hi - I am taking the bus from Panama City to Colon and then need to find a way to get to the hotel. Is a taxi the best way and how much would it cost? Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

    Traveling from USA. Do you need Yellow Fever vaccination proof @airport? How far is resort Melia Panama Canal to the Tocumen International Airport?
    Hi: Yellow fever vaccination is only required if you come from a country when the yellow fever exist, is a precaution of Panama Authorities in order to prevent Yellow Fever in their country. The vacconation proof -at least in my case as peruvian tourist- is a yellow card extended by “ministerio de salud” that certifies that I have received the vaccin 10 days prior to arrives at Panama. Tocumen is in panama city (Pacific ocean shore) and Melia Panama canal is in Colon (Atlantic Ocean shore). I was at Tocumen in August, and I went to Colon by Taxi Cab for US$ 90.00 (3 persons plus luggage) in a very confortable TOyota SUV that we got at 5he airport. You can also ask for the service at internet, and is about $80 from Tocumen to Melia in Colon. The trip is about one hour long, in a very good highway, sourrounded by the forest and lago gatun.
