the Bazaar is our preference for dinner. From soups, salads and charcuterie to pasta, fresh fish and meat dishes, the variety of selections is mind-boggling. While my husband goes for the gusto, I feast on melt-in-your-mouth sushi and sashimi offerings accompanied by a seafood and seaweed salad. As one might expect, nightlife options are endless. No less than five bars are listed in our plan, each with an impressive selection of non-alcoholic beverages, standard liquors and cocktails included in our package. The Base Bar in the lobby and the poolside Float Bar are perfect for watching people. On the mezzanine level, Mamie Lee's is a popular spot to enjoy a refreshing beverage after a day of sightseeing, while the Who 'R U Lounge on the 11 th level is an airy space for a pre-dinner apéritif or a break from the dance floor at the adjacent Stage Bar, which rocks with live music into the early morning hours seven nights a week. After that, we're on our own and off the package. Open until 3 a.m., Monday to Saturday, ultra-chic Bling features DJ talent, VIP exclusive areas and bottle service. The decadent Bits Roof Lounge on the 62 nd floor, complete with mood music, is a serene place to sunbathe beside exotic waterfalls by day and enjoy sparkling panoramic city views by night. And, if we gambled, the Majestic Casino is immediately across from the hotel entrance and easily accessed from the hotel's mezzanine floor.

Two daytime tours are offered—the Canal Route and the City or the Panama Viejo Route. Our US$29 tickets entitle us to hop on board
