Pick W Panama for a pool-and-bar scene on a published level, the 15th floor. Access rules and day passes aren't published, so confirm access before you plan a visit around it.
The pool
The WET Deck is on the 15th floor of a hotel in the business district, and the WET Deck Bar sits next to its rooftop pool. Access is the catch, and the hotel doesn't spell it out.
Our take
W Panama alone gives a floor number among the hotels on our list. That makes it easy to compare with Gran Evenia, which has a top-floor pool and a clear weekday day pass. W has the specific level; Gran Evenia has the clear route in for non-guests.
The deck covers 6,800 square feet (deck area, not pool size). Music plays all the time, and the bar is built from a repurposed Panama Canal container painted in bright colors, so expect a lively scene rather than a quiet lap. The dress code at the bar is casual.
Good to know
- 15th floor, a published level
- 6,800 square foot deck with a bar beside the pool

Getting in
We can't say whether non-guests can swim, because the hotel gives no access rules. No day pass is listed.
Staying is the one sure way to reach the 15th-floor deck. The WET Deck Bar sits beside the pool, and the dress code there is casual.
Tips
- Email the hotel before you travel to ask if visitors can use the deck.
- November to January highs run 31.1 to 32.2°C, so the deck is warm even outside the best months of February to April.
Before you go. Confirm with the hotel that visitors can use the pool, since no day pass or visitor policy is stated.
