Thread: Panama

Did you look up rates thru our accor or hilton discounts?? Also he interline hotel discounts might come in handy for last minute deals. Good luck Mr!

For the most part, it is true that rain in Central America last only a short while, unlike in the states where it may rain straight as in Houston here for a couple of days straight. But the last time I went to Costa Rica, it was pretty rainy and lousy for most after 3 PM on through the night. San Jose seems to get alot of rain, moresoe than on the coast or at sea level. When you hit altitude, all bets are off. I suppose it depends on the years too. San Jose is jacket weather and rain gear. Need umbrellas there walking around and most everyone carries one. In Panama city, the rain drops are warm and noone carries umbrellas nor wears jackets or rain gear. When it rains in San Jose CR, its chilly and overcast. It gets down in the 50's at night, and day time temps are quite pleasant and sunny. PTY is warm constantly, never dropping below 75 year around. They get hellacious blast of heavy tropical downpours but usually last a short time.

Thanks all.

Accor and Hilton do not offer AI. Those are room only and the option for breakfast at ACCOR.
Have a site address for Starwood, but their rates are always far more expensive than any * normal * booking engine.

I shall never plan vacation for this time of the year again.
The far East still has rain, the caribbean , Central America ....... I need that sun.

It was a toss between poor man's Dubai = Sharm El Sheik or U.A.E.
U.A.E. I stopped going to when those Jumeirah Beach hotels started charging approx £100 a night.
I think back to the times when I availed of Touchdown selling those beach hotels for £89 for 3 nights with breakfast.
I'm heading to Fujairah this time, the only Emirate I haven't been to and looks dead as a dodo - but no rain - Yipeeeee!

Apart from the Hilton and Accor, I use Dargal, Touchdown and Travelindustryservices. JSInterline whilst limited, usually works out cheapest.

That AI rate in Panama does look good, but 5.5 hours I'm in U.A.E ... Panama would be 2 days involving an overnight and 3 flights
