Royalton Panama Beach All Suites Resort – PANAMA CITY 2012
BREAKFAST RESTAURANT
Being aware of the rainy season in Panama, we could not find until March 2012 for Royalton Panama All Suites Resort (now Wyndham Grand Playa Blanca). Being first timer to Panama we were excited and apprehensive. Landed at the airport and boarded a transfer bus, while our luggage was taken by a truck. Royalton was 2 1/2 hours away, via crowded and slow mountain highway. First we were impressed by the fresh looking new Resort, except that “suites” were just hotel rooms, no match with the description that led many Canadian to jump on the deal. Whole line of customers complaining about their assigned rooms were at the front desk, so were we at the end of the line. However, Manager and her desk staff did their best to please everyone. We had to change room twice until we found an acceptable solution. Thereafter, there was no complaint.
The Resort comprised of three blocs, arranged in U shape, all with balconies and very refreshingly appealing. Central garden is a beauty to enjoy, water channels in a very artistic design and modern furniture and decorations all over.
Buffet Restaurant was pleasant, lots of variety in salads, fruit and desert and hot dishes at lunch and dinner. Specialty restaurant was well appointed and pleasing, food was very good. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean and well supplied with bathroom amenities. Two trips: “Valle d Anton” and “Panama Canal & the Colonial City” were very informative and enjoyable. We strongly recommend to all visitors to Panama.

CARTAGENA AFTER THE “LA ESCLAVA BLANCA”- COLOMBIA
OCCIDENTAL GRAND CARTAGENA, Colombia – Estelar Grand Playa Manzanillo, Cartagena, Colombia 2011
NOTE: “LA ESCLAVA BLANCO” in the Title above is borrowed from the NETFLIX TV Drama Serial Season 1, 2016, based on 62 Episodes (in Spanish with sub-titles), dealing with Spanish Slavery in Colombia.
CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA – ITS PAST
“In 1544, the Spanish Conquistadors discovered the silver mines in a city now called Potosi, which is on the base of Cerro Rico (Rich Mountain) in Colombia. Almost immediately, they began enslaving the natives as workers in the mines.” (Wikipedia)
By the time of emancipation in the 19th century, Colombian slaves, about 25,000, still remain the poorest, unless a miracle can change their lot and/or the government could help restore their humanity.
Last picture shows how the ex slaves are hushed off the Occidental Grand Cartagena Resort shoreline (Security with a dog chasing them) so that they don’t come close to Resort guests. However, some of the Resort guests (Social Workers from Canada) took upon themselves to deliver food, medicine aid to the biggest shanty town of Boliver, next door to the Resort, as well as, toys for their children, during their stay at the Resort.
