Sleeping With The Donald


December 19, 2012

The Trump Hotel is the curved building on the right
We don’t agree with his politics, but the man does know how to run a hotel! While the Intercontinental Playa Bonita was nice, once we arrived at the Trump Ocean Club in Punta Paitilla, Panama City, we realized that the vacation just went up a notch. From the doorman’s initial greetings onwards, the service was extraordinary. The building itself is dramatically shaped like a sailboat and all of the rooms have views of the Bay of Panama on the Pacific.

The egg shaped tub


The interiors are contemporary, from the art (is this a portrait of the Donald in pennies, we wondered?) to the room design. 








The egg-shaped bathtub in the middle of the room is certainly an unusual touch. 









The infinity pools are beautiful but they do make it look like you might drop down 13 stories if you take an extra stroke!
