and I revisited Isla Palenque last week and we got to see the newly opened casitas just down from the Las Rocas Bar which now has a hugely expanded lounging deck, swimming pool,\u00a0 dining area and full commercial kitchen to serve 30 plus people .\u00a0 The developer, Ben Loomis has added these amenities on Playa Palenque which is the finest beach on the island.\u00a0 This is a private 400 acre island that will be a world class resort now that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.islapalenque.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cayuga<\/a><\/strong> has taken over as the operator.\u00a0 After our short trip, I saw a level of service not found anywhere else in Panama or many places for that matter.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0Roosevelt Villa that was the\u00a0 original hotel is available for\u00a0group bookings if you want a private retreat.<\/p>\n<p>Let me begin in the beginning as they say&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p><a
