If your attraction to Panama is more about wildlife than wild life, check out this tucked-away French B&B. There are just four rooms, decorated with retro posters and vintage newsclips and featuring immaculate wooden floors, king-size beds and wicker furniture. The backyard terrace offers birdwatching and abundant breakfasts featuring homemade bread and fresh juice. Also offers transportation and tours.
It's on the quiet Cerro Ancón – a good place to take a walk, but for everything else you'll need a taxi.
