Rare Birdnutty Posted January 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2023 We are scheduled to arrive in Panama City at 7 AM, and have chosen to stay overnight, see some of the area, then take a late day flight home the next day. So we have from 8AM ish on one day to about 3 PM the next. Obviously, we have all this luggage we'll be toting. We have current arrangements to stay at the Crowne Plaza Airport, which has a very convenient luggage storage situation for both arrival and departure day, as well as airport shuttles. Good price, too. We had not factored in the distance from the city in which we will be sightseeing. BUT.. there's a quoted ride share of $110 to get from cruise ship to hotel to drop off luggage. (for 4 people) Then we'd need to go back to Panama City to see anything that day. Then back to the hotel for sleeping. The next day, if we want to be picked up by an excursion company, we need to be in Panama City, so back we need to go to to get the excursion. Then back to hotel after that to pick up luggage and head to the airport. This seems to me to be a big waste of time, considering that we'd need at least a half hour for each one way trip, not to mention the cost involved. Does anyone have a suggestion as to which decent hotel has the same luggage deal but is closer to the action? Preference is for it to be somewhat quiet (like not on a main downtown thoroughfare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Birdnutty Posted January 4, 2023 Author #2 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Well, I answered my own question. Turns out that Crowne Plaza Panama ( both of them) offer luggage storage both before check in and after check out. So for anyone else that wants to spend some some in Panama City with only one night stay, that's a good hotel to consider. Rates were good, too.
