about two hours driving distance from Panama City, on the Pacific Coast of Panama.
“Panama remains one of the most vibrant countries for new development in all of Latin America," said Rob Steigerwald, COO, Southern Americas, Marriott International. “We are thrilled to finally reveal our first world class JW Marriott luxury brand hotel in the country. This beautiful resort brings the highest levels of accommodations and service to Panama and is a great addition to the brand’s growing global portfolio,” Steigerwald added.
All guestrooms feature private balconies or gardens, bringing the natural beauty of the region right to their door. The resort features five restaurants including Tamarindo, which celebrates local Panamanian cuisine and cocktail culture. The hotel has 517 square metres of meeting space, including a grand ballroom and four smaller meeting rooms to accommodate groups, events and destination celebrations.
