Decamarun Panama or other???

[Montrealer]

Me and the Mrs are thinking of heading off to Panama in a couple weeks, and was wondering if anyone could recomend a good resort.  We're leaning towards Decamaron simply because we're farmiliar with the quality of the Decamaron hotels from San Andres, but since she's pregnant it doesn't make sense to me to go to an all inclusive resort if you're not going to be drinking.  So does anyone else have any suggestions?

Musts;
- On the beach
- 90 minutes or less from main airport
- large swimming pool
- no islands (wife hates boats)
- good food

Preferences
- under $150 / night
- wildlife tour / fishing tour available
- spa setting
- Airport pick-up and drop off

Any suggestions?

Hi Montrealer,

living in Panama i can tell you that even though you wont drink so much, you can still eat a lot at the all inclusives.

As far as non all inclusive i suggest the Playa Bonita. check there web site

It is NOT cheap, but its new, and fresh.

There is another all inclusive i like better than Decameron, its called Playa Blanca Resort. Its smaller than Decameron but i found the quiality the same, and its more cosy IMO. web site is

The other worthwhile resorts are on islands.

you would need to do your booking ASAP since we are no on high season, and it gets very hard to get a room.
