Posts: 704Trip Report
I just got back from a long Valentine's Day weekend in PTY. Since I spent it with my Colombian girlfriend who's living in Panama I don't have any personal mongering stories to tell, but here are a few tidbits which some might find helpful:
I stayed at Hotel Veneto. Contrary to earlier reports it appears to be totally chica-friendly, or perhaps I should say it is not chica UNfriendly. My novia is a dark-skinned Colombiana and half my age, so it was clear to me how it looked me bringing her in. However, she never even had to register and while there are guards at the elevators we weren't once questioned or detained. If you try to enter the casino they do a body scan and ask some questions, since they have a prostitution "problem" in the casino. But we just bypassed that entry and went straight up from the lobby elevators. I can't see how anyone would have a problem bringing anyone up here.
There are, for those interested, quite a few hookers in and around the casino, average mid-twenties, good looking, cute. Sorry but I didn't get any quotes.
Overall the hotel is good and well-worth the $160 a night I paid for a junior suite. Service was great, which basically for me means that they left me alone and kept the towels fresh.
On a totally non-sexual note, I highly recommend going to the Gamboa National Park. We saw lots of animals and went on the cable ride swinging between the trees - It was a blast!
For late night food I recommend Manolos, right across the street from Veneto - Good food, fair service and a fun atmosphere. Also hooker-friendly.
I found a great taxista/tour guide, Javier. He'll pick you up or take you from/to the airport for US $25, and he does various tours. A good and trustworthy guy. PM me for contact info.

Posts: 49Marriott-NOT guest friendly
Marriott has NOT been guest friendly for about a month now. Appears there
was a problem with a client and chica. Some Marriott property was damaged
in the room. Since then, no chicas. This information is current as on last night the 11th of February.

So why bring your computer to the most wired and reasonably cost internet city in LatAm? Leave your computer at home and buy an inexpensive cell phone when you get there. Cell phones and cell phone cards were so cheap, I started calling the USA with my cellphone, especially when the clerks at the store would clue me into when the cards were having 2-for-1, 3-for-1, and even 5-for-1 days (buy a $10 card, get $50 worth of calls). You can leave your phone with your favorite chica or take it with you so you have a phone when you return.
The Euro Hotel is also a choice, as it is on Via Veneto, has computers you can use in the lobby, an attached restaurant, and is across the street from a Chinese laundrymat and two grocery stores. I've stayed there and liked it. And you can make reservations for Euro Hotel on Expedia. Just make sure you can get a quiet room.

Or , as was mentioned, the love motels will take you for 15-20 dollars a night in the part of town where the old Immigration building used to be; if you don't know , ask any taxi driver and he will direct you .

The hoes do stay in these hotels too. And they may offer you some p*ssy in the lobby.
You can get non-pro p*ssy in Panama: Just go to the bus stops and the street. You'll be knee-deep in p*ssy by sunset.
