Top Reasons to Stay at Radisson Summit Hotel & Golf Panama

• The resort is removed from the busiest parts of Panama City, set amid more than 150 acres of Panama's Camino de Cruces National Park, a tropical rainforest with waterfalls, colorful macaws, titi monkeys, and three-toed sloths.
• Your stay includes a tour of the Panama Canal at the Miraflores Locks, which links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It’s arguably one of the most significant manmade waterways in the world and the crossroads of international travel.
• The property includes Summit Golf Course, an 18-hole course created in the 1930s for Americans working in the canal zone. Play a round while taking in views of Gaillard Cut, a gorge that extends from the Panama Canal.
• Rainforest golf-view rooms are outfitted with 42-inch TVs and balconies that look out onto the park's jungle foliage or the golf course's rolling greens.
• Bright-orange lounge chairs and umbrellas surround two outdoor pools—one of which has an infinity edge—and the surrounding nature trails lead to a butterfly habitat.
• You can munch on pub-style barbecue burgers at the onsite Mulligan's Bar and Restaurant, or savor Cajun-grilled chicken or authentic Panamanian seafood chowder at La Jacana.
• Each morning, the staff preps an American buffet breakfast complete with fresh fruit, cereals, meats, and cheeses.
• A complimentary shuttle ferries guests to Albrook Shopping Center—which boasts both international brands and local, handmade goods— as well as downtown Panama City shops, restaurants, and open-air nightclubs such as Café Barko.

Panama: Beach Paradise with Bustling Capital City

Panama, the southernmost country in Central America, has at times been overshadowed by its tourist-saturated neighbor to the north, Costa Rica. But in recent years, that trend has started to change. Adventurers are setting their sights on Panama’s beaches, which are often less crowded and commercialized than those in other warm-weather destinations. Much of Panama’s shoreline looks as it has for hundreds of years. Farther inland, there are tropical rainforests such as Chargres National Park, etched with rivers and lush highlands. In fact, nearly one-third of the country has been designated as protected land or turned into national parks.

Though the Panama Canal may be one of the country’s most famous landmarks, it’s far from the only attraction worth a visit. The capital, Panama City, has enjoyed renewal in recent years; expect skyscrapers, modern condominiums, and an energy and nightlife that rival any big city. The Frank Gehry–designed Biodiversity Museum salutes local wildlife, considered some of the most diverse of any country in Central America. In the capital’s historic Casco Viejo district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, San Jose Church has drawn crowds since it was built in the 16th century; the church is home to an altar gilded entirely in gold leaf.

You’ll find a much slower pace in Bocas del Toro, a small island chain near the Costa Rican border that's nicknamed the “Venice of Central America” because locals use water taxis as a primary means of transportation. The islands are also an adventurer’s paradise. The area is sought out for both its jungle ziplining and scuba diving along scenic bays, which are home to some of the world's best-preserved hard and soft coral. The National Marine Park on Isla Bastimentos features thick rainforest and remote beaches; while visiting, keep an eye out for capuchin monkeys, sloths, and frogs.
