Put me down for Panama. High % of folks speak English, the $USD is the currency. Very good infrastructure by latin American standards. Panama City is almost on par with San Diego or Miami. Flights to the USA are just a couple hours.
Yeah that seemed to be common consensus about Panama when I heard about some years ago. I was surprised to hear it at first, but the infrastructure and surroundings seem to be surprisingly high-quality, plus friendly people and great beaches. Are most people going to Panama City or some of the smaller coastal towns?
