Can you stay more than one day? Must see Portobelo (old Spanish Fort about an hour ride from Colon)see: http://goo.gl/maps/qJHe8 beaches & a couple of neat eating place on the way to Portobelo & Hotel Washington has good food & a casino FYI, suggest: Tour guide & van/Chauffeur service:
Jesus played base ball in the U.S. and his English is good. He charges $15 per hour for his service which includes taking you to tourist areas & $25 to & from the airport IF you tell him I referred you. Jesus Cell # is (507) 6754-3378, Jesus has a van/taxi/tour service, I met him when he was a security guard (suit) at the Marriott Hotel in Panama City. Jesus does not do email but if you text him a message to call you, he will call you back. He has an international calling plan on his cell phone.
