How I picked
I started from every hotel on Google in Panama City with at least 10 reviews and a rating of 3.5 or more, and left out hostels, camps and closed hotels.
Each hotel's rating on every site it lists is rescaled against all the hotels in the finder, so a typical hotel lands near 5 and only a rare one reaches 10.
A rating from a few reviews counts for less, so a handful of five-star reviews doesn't outrank hundreds at 4.6.
Prices are the lowest a night Google listed for each hotel on September 30, 2026, so pick your dates in the finder above for today's.
