Panama City Stay:
Tranquilo Bay may arrange reservations for you at one of a number of hotels in Panama City if your travel plans require a stay in Panama City.  Tranquilo Bay has had to implement a slight charge for this service as Panama City is very busy which often makes finding a room difficult and requires reconfirmation by Tranquilo Bay to ensure you have your room upon arrival in Panama City. We do require that you confirm these reservations with your credit card.

The driver will take you to your Panama City hotel or to Albrook Airport (where you take your plane to Bocas del Toro) and he will also go inside the hotel or airport to make sure all is well before he leaves you.
