Fodor's Expert Review The Haven

Panama

With a focus on wellness, relaxation, pampering, and fitness, this tranquil hotel oozes feng shui from the water features at the entrance to the garden terraces off each room. Rooms are decorated in neutral tones with a subtle tropical theme, and are well-appointed with TVs, large showers, and minibars stocked with complimentary breakfast. Although there’s no restaurant, the suite has a kitchenette for those wanting to prepare simple meals. Open to the public are the spa and gym ($25/day), often utilized by guests of neighboring hotels. Organic products made with lemongrass are used in facials, massages, and scrubs; other services such as yoga, pilates, acupuncture, and chiropractic sessions are available upon request. The two-story gym is well equipped for rigorous workouts, or guests can simply decompress in the sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, or garden.
