Search hotels in Punta Chame

This place is located in the boonies. The front desk worker Elvis was the only positive thing I can say about this property. The restaurant staff were rude, lazy, and racist. They don’t like Americans but love US dollars. I would recommend Boca Chica in Chiriqui over this place any day.

Punta Chame is a peninsula were you feel that mass tourism has not arrived yet. It is very authentic and has a very special atmosphere were you can enjoy a mix of see and mountain views. There are not too many good restaurants around but we had a great experience at Casa Amarilla which is run by an italian family established there since a few years. It is a great location to have a feel of the panamean culture and lifestyle away from the classic touristic routes.

Unfortunately, what could have been a pristine nature setting has bin obliterated by people's trash - On the roadways there all the way to the beach. I am still amazed that humans around the world will destroy Eco-systems with their garbage. The water is naturally greenish-brown and riddled with jellyfish and sting-rays buried in the shallow sea bed. We saw numerous dead fire-jellyfish which gave us pause to even enter the water. Maybe that's why you won't find people swimming there. One fisher-man told us outright that the waters around Punta Chame are dangerous for tourists as there are so many sting-rays hiding in the sand. We never went into the water and were generally disappointed about the lack of care Panamanians have for their nature reserves. And why doesn't anyone feel responsible for cleaning this mess? Can't be a lack of money - Panama-canal is generating millions of revenue each day.
