Panama City (Panama) - A hard left at the Hard Rock



PANAMA CITY (PANAMA)
02 February - 03 February 2017

Returning from the San Blas Islands we checked back into the Hard Rock Hotel Megalopolis in Panama City. Hardly the budget style accommodation that we’d pencilled in at the start of our adventure but really, neither of us were complaining.

Our evening was spent close to home, heading over to the Hard Rock Café for dinner and then rounding the night out with drinks at the Red Lion Multicentro. As I said in an earlier entry, this place is an amusing oddity, to quote some of the reviews written about it;

Over priced drinks. With no atmosphere. There is over five waitresses to one customer and none of them pay any attention to their customers. The waitresses are too busy fondling each other's breast to ever pay any attention. It's amazing how many beautiful women there are in the establishment and surrounding businesses but none of them are actually working’

‘Falta mayor atención a personas que no van pendiente de levantarse a alguna chica del bar’

‘ésimo lugar, se puede decir peor. teníamos a 4 babosos pendientes de las chicas que aburridas estaban charloteando, comimos mal, bebimos mal. 0mg! No volveré mas allí

We had a few drinks here but considering we weren’t offering the girls any attention we also became the standard ‘afterthought’ in a place that obviously has a target clientele.

Finishing off  with a couple of drinks at the Hard Rock Hotel we turned in for the night in preparation for the next phase of our journey. The next day we’d be turning around and starting our northern run, the next stop being Boquete in Central Eastern Panama.
