Should I go on vacation to a place that has no beach to swim in within walking distance to my hotel?

Question

I am thinking about going on vacation to Panama City, Panama. Everything looks great about going there because I like to party and I'm a single 31 year old male. The only problem is that there is no beach to go swimming within walking distance. In fact, I would have to take a cab for an hour to get to the closest beach. I really like being near a beach on my vacation. Should I still go there?

Answer 1

Vacation = fun, no?

You're wanting to go to the beach pretty bad it sounds like... maybe for some females. :P See what the night life is like around the hotel and if there are good clubs and such within walking distance, see if you'd rather go to the beach or to the clubs. If there are no clubs near you or any night life really.... you won't enjoy yourself. You should either go to google & look on their map thingy and search for clubs around the hotel.

Answer 2

I would go on a cruise.  No need for a taxi or DD, you'll visit several beaches, and you food and drinks are included.

I use http://www.flybymetravel.com because they have some exclusive deals and they show the total price (fees and taxes) up front.  So, I'm not suprised right before I book the thing.
