Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Panama Punta Pacifica is a hotel in the Punta Pacifica district, the part of Panama City known for glass towers, bay views and a modern, residential feel. It sits on the opposite side of the city from the historic quarter of Casco Viejo, which makes it a good match for travellers who want contemporary comfort, a skyline outlook and an easy taxi ride to the older sights. This page is a general guide rather than a full inventory: room layouts, pool and restaurant details can change, so check when you book and compare categories carefully.
Location and getting around
Punta Pacifica faces Panama Bay along the city’s eastern waterfront, and the district is known for tall residential and hotel towers, shopping and the Cinta Costera promenade nearby. Check when you book how far the hotel is from the bay path, the shopping malls and the restaurants, since distances in a city of towers can be longer than they look.
Taxis and ride-hailing cars are the usual way to reach Casco Viejo, the Biomuseo and the Miraflores Locks, and journey times depend heavily on traffic, so allow extra time at rush hours. Ask whether the hotel can arrange airport transfers.
The rooms and the feel
An international-brand hotel in this district generally offers modern, comfortable rooms and a business-friendly atmosphere, with many guests travelling for work or stopping over before a longer trip. Room types vary, so check when you book bed configurations, floor levels and whether bay or city views are available. If you plan a longer stay, ask about kitchenettes, laundry options and weekly rates.
Using it as a base
From Punta Pacifica, a morning at the Miraflores Locks watching ships rise and fall is easy to arrange by taxi or tour, and an afternoon exploring the old quarter of Casco Viejo gives a contrast with the modern skyline. Day trips to Gatun Lake, the Embera communities, Taboga Island and the Pacific beaches usually pick up from hotels in the city, so confirm pickup details with the operator. The Metropolitan Natural Park, with its forest trails close to the city, makes a good early-morning outing.
Dining and extras
Ask whether the hotel has a restaurant, a bar, a pool or a gym, and what the opening hours are. The district has many restaurants and cafes at a range of prices, and the city as a whole is known for fresh seafood, ceviche and Panamanian dishes such as sancocho. Ask the hotel for current recommendations and for advice on getting around after dark.
Good to know
Panama City is hot and humid, with a rainy season in which afternoon downpours are common, so pack a light rain layer. Check cancellation terms and any deposit policy, and confirm whether taxes or service charges are added to the quoted rate.
Best for
Business travellers, families who like the comfort of a brand hotel, and visitors who want a modern base with skyline views and easy access to the bayfront.
