Swimming on top of Latin America in Trump Style



Infinitely Relaxing Pool at the Trump in Panama City

One of the coolest places to stay in Panama City, Panama is the tallest building in Latin America. The Trump Ocean Club International Hotel is the hotel du jour in this city of exploding construction. In my mind, the main attraction is the pool deck.  An infinity pool dares to protrude out to the skyscraper’s edge. It is hard to detect where the pool’s water ends and the Pacific Ocean begins. The lounge chairs’ feet are submerged in a few inches of shallow water, inviting you to wade in to grab a chair. It is completely delightful to saunter out to the pool area after a long hot day of sightseeing or canal-traversing. With an icy drink in hand, you can look across the waters’ edge and take in the Panama City skyline.
