El Otro Lado, Panama

At El Otro Lado, guests are invited to sit back and take in the steamy rainforests and kaleidoscopic coral reefs that surround the remote 110 hectare retreat while sipping a passion-fruit mojito. The thriving landscape that surrounds El Otro Lado provides the backdrop for endless hours of relaxation.

But there are countless options to explore should an active mood strike you, including fishing, rainforest tours, and snorkeling at one of the nearby beaches, transported by one of the hotel’s four motor launches. Social activity centers on the Gazebo—the hotel’s restaurant, bar, and lounge—adorned with carnival masks and white sofas splashed with brightly colored cushions.

Here, chefs bring Caribbean ingredients and colonial flavors together nightly, and guests can while away hours gazing over the infinity-edge pool, which appears to flow seamlessly into the pristine bay.
