Visitors to Panama beware, use your guidebooks as guides only; many are out of date. Ask around, check on the internet for info. For example: We have met a number of people visiting Taboga Island recently that thought Hotel Taboga and Hotel Chu are still there, even Panamanians. Both have been demolished and are being re-built.
