Book here for a Casco Viejo bed with a grill and bar next to the pool. Floor, hours and access rules are all unpublished, so confirm with the hotel before planning a swim.
The pool
Selina's address is C. 12 Este, in Casco Viejo, the colonial district with the cathedral and sea wall within walking distance. The hotel has an outdoor pool, and the poolside Azul Pool Bar and Grill pours cocktails and cooks grilled dishes. Floor, hours and non-guest access aren't published.
Our take
Selina is the Casco Viejo option on our list, which matters if you want to walk to restaurants and the sea wall instead of taking a taxi from the Financial District. Gran Evenia is the one hotel here that sells day passes, so Selina is a harder swim to get without a room.
The catch is detail the hotel leaves out: the pool's floor, opening hours, heating and any rule for visitors. Message the hotel before you arrive, and don't count on a swim as a walk-in.

Getting in
Pool access rules aren't published by the hotel. Hotel guests are the safe assumption, and we found no day pass sold for it.
If you want the bar and grill without a room, ask the hotel directly whether Azul takes walk-ins and whether the pool is included.
Tips
- Visit between February and April, the best three months to swim in Panama City.
- Email or call ahead about Azul Pool Bar and Grill hours before you walk over.
Before you go. Ask the hotel if visitors without a room can get in, and what hours the pool keeps. Neither is published.
