Professional Review

Built atop a rocky promontory and boasting fabulous ocean views, the Hacienda Del Mar enjoys a spectacular location on the most southwesterly of the Pearl Islands. The island has three dozen beaches and is blanketed in semi-deciduous tropical forest, and the surrounding oceans grade from jade to the deepest azure. The hotel has the isle to itself. Arrival is by charter plane (30-minute flight) from Panama City or by boat (two hours) from Flamenco Marina, in Panama City.
