Bananas Resort and Isla Grande
February 3rd, 2010Getting as far away as possible from the city is always a good idea, if you deal with a big city on a daily basis. Bananas Resort is located on Isla Grande, just above La Guaira, and two hours away from Panama City. Bananas is a great way to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean sea without having to take a long boat trip. In fact, it only takes five minutes from the parking lots to the mainland. On your way to the island you’ll pass the historic town of Portobelo, founded 400 years ago by the Spanish conquistadores. Believe it or not, this is where Sir Francis Drake met his demise.
When it comes to fun activities, Bananas has so much to do that you won’t be able to enjoy everything it has to offer. Try snorkeling for instance, the water is practically see through and is packed with gorgeous and harmless fishes. This is something you won’t forget ever, it’s that satisfying. Kayaking is also something very exciting to try out, but like everything else at the resort, things can get a bit pricey. Water sports are not the only things going on at Banana’s, try its other activities such as, volleyball, soccer, ping pong and billiard with other visitors.
The service at the resort is great and they’re always willing to help out with any questions or anything else you might need during your stay. You need to visit Banana’s resort before leaving Panama or you’ll definitely regret it.
