Ours was a rest stop between flight legs, a chance to catch our breath, get a good sleep, an excellent massage, some good meals and reset our circadian clocks before pushing on. We had planned to roam the Old Town a bit but were so entangled in the comforts on offer at the Bristol that we never left for the two days we were there. This place is amazing in every way. The top floor spa is nothing short of excellent as is the restaurant on the 5th floor. The buffet breakfast is the stuff of legend and our dinner was 5 star in every way. The staff is friendly and helpful. We will never stay anywhere else though Panama City has a lot to offeror lodging.
