Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Great place to overlook the Miraflores locks and if your timing is right you can watch ships transit the locks. The imax movie is interesting and describes some of history and construction.

    The tickets are confusing: you need separate tickets for both the movie ($7 ) and the viewing gallery ($10). (Note, these are foreigner prices, locals pay less.) To enter you must buy the viewing gallery ticket... the imax movie is optional, but worth it. You can't see the imax and then return to enter the viewing gallery

    Important to make sure ships are transiting the locks when you visit... otherwise it's not really worth it. Check the schedules. When we went in the morning the person at the desk was helpful in letting us know to returns around 1:30 pm.

    There is ample free parking in front of the building. It's not worth taking a tourist tour if you are staying downtown.... just take a cab or Uber.

    All of the exhibits are closed... there is only the locks to look at.

    If you are doing an afternoon stop over and want to experience the canal would recommend cabbing/ubering from the airport.

    Beautiful island. A lot of road construction now. It’s the pace to visit for pure relaxation and beach time . Lots of beaches, snorkeling and fishing.

    An amazing trip to Panama to participate in the World Robot Olympiad. The convention centre is an amazing facility that can host thousands or participants. Very friendly staff, the food was amazing. I could simply live in Panama. And learn some Spanish too!

    As airline clubs go, I'd say this is a pretty decent one. It's a good size with plenty of seating. Free Wi-Fi, as expected. The buffet selection is sparse but quite tasty. Finger foods not really meal food. The biggest problem is there aren't very many easy to understand signs in the airport pointing to this lounge. There are these nondescript blue signs that say VIP, but nothing specifically that says Copa club.

    As we were flying Business Class on Copa departing Panama we had access to their lounge. We were in the original lounge as I believe they also have a brand new one in the other terminal.
    There was plenty of seating etc., and it was just fine and comfortable rather than being stuck out in the Terminal.
    It is fairly large but their food choices are dismal if this is what you are looking for. Not a big deal for us - they do have a bartender and full drink service also.
    It is o.k. and does the trick but do not expect anything fancy with tons of food choices etc.
