Hi there, I'm more of a country, mountain guy myself, I have lived in panama for 8 years. The mountain communities of El Valle de Anton, Santa Fe, Boquete and Volcan are great. For you beach lovers, we have Coronado, Pedasí, Las Lajas and of course Bocas del Toro on the Caribbean. And, for the city lovers the areas of El Cangrejo and Balboa Ave in Panama City are my favorites.

Thanks,
