In addition, Bala Beach Resot is 15 minutes away from some of the most interesting landmarks that you could find in all of Panama.

(The first photo is the location of the first floor of building 1)
A FAQ that i recieve alot is "is BLDG 5 blocking the view of BLDGS 1 and 2?". The answer is no. This is because BLDG 5, in total, is 17.5 meters above sea level. While BLDGS 1 & 2 start at 18 meters above sea level giving it oceanviews from the first level.
Another FAQ is " is the Tower going to block the my views in BLDG 3?" The answer is that BLDG 3 will have direct mountain and ocean views of the cove. The tower is located close enough to BLDG 3 that it will not block any of the views. Not to say that you will not see it but it will not interfer with the views. Moreover, the concept in this project was not to build some units with views and some without. The concept was to allow every unit to enjoy views of the Caribbean Sea because it is one of the most beautiful sight Panama has to offer.
(this is the view from the first level of BLDG 3. You can see the mountains that come out on a point, as well as the Caribbean. Thus giving the building double value of being ocean and mountain views. It is truly breathtaking.)

FAQ's
Must I be a resident to buy property in Panama?
No. Non residents are absolutely allowed to purchase and own property with the same rights as Panamanians. The only restriction for foreigners is that they cannot own property located within ten kilometers of the national borders that run alongside Costa Rica and Colombia.
Is my title protected in Panama?
Yes. All property titles in Panama are maintained at the Public Registry and considered to be fee-safe. Of all the countries in Central America, Panama is one of the best in terms of respecting and protecting investments in titled property.
Is Panama safe?
Panama is considered one of the safest countries in Latin America with low crime rates and stiff penalties for criminals. Just like any country however, (including your own) there are certain problem areas that should be avoided, and as anywhere in the world, common sense should be used when visiting unfamiliar areas. Historically speaking, Panama is also free of past incidents of civil wars and has experienced much less of the political and social instability that has affected many of the other countries in the region.
Is a visa required to enter Panama?
Yes. When entering Panama, most foreigners are required to show a valid passport and enter under a tourist visa. Tourist visa cards must be purchased for 5 dollars upon entering the country and are good for 90 days but can sometimes be extended.
Is it safe to drink the water in Panama?
Yes. Unlike other parts of Central America, it is definitely safe to drink the water almost everywhere in Panama. From Panama City to the regional capitals to the small towns in between, you can confidently drink the local tap water without any problems. The only places where you should consider drinking bottled water are on the islands, such as in parts of Bocas del Toro and the Pearl Islands. In such instances where the local water is questionable, bottled water is widely available.
Is Panama politically stable?
Yes. Panama as a nation is politically stable and has a firm commitment to democracy. Panama is also a very pro-business country and has many international interests that are paramount to its continued growth and development. The efficient operation of The Panama Canal is something that both Panama and the rest of the world depend on, and both national and international political interests work together to make sure that Panama and the Canal continue to run smoothly.
What is the local currency?
The official currency of Panama is the US dollar. There also exists an equal Panamanian currency known as the Balboa, which holds the same exact value as the Dollar but is only printed in coin form. These coins are equal in size, color, weight and value to their North American counterparts but have different images on their faces. The terms Dollar and Balboa are used interchangeably when referring to any quantity of money in Panama.
Do I need to know how to speak Spanish?
Not necessarily. The official language of Panama is Spanish, but about 1 in 6 Panamanians speak fluent English and many more can understand it. You may have trouble trying to get by solely with English on the street with taxi drivers, waiters and other service industry workers, but it is very easy to find professionals such as doctors, bankers, lawyers and others with whom you can carry out any business transaction in English. Some knowledge of Spanish will certainly enhance your experience in Panama especially outside of the more developed urban and tourist centers, but you can definitely survive and get along happily enough without it.
What is the weather like in Panama?
Panama has a sub-tropical climate where the year is split into signifies a dry season and a rainy season. The dry season called verano, meaning summer, lasts from mid-December to mid-May. During the dry season most days are bright and sunny with a warm breeze and low humidity. (On average (south of the continental divide) it rains only a handful of times during this entire 5 month period.) The rainy season, known as invierno or winter, starts in mid-May and lasts through mid-December. Rainy season is just that, rainy, with daily rainstorms you can set your clock by, usually hitting in the early afternoon and lasting an hour or two before the sky clears up again. While precipitation levels change dramatically between the two seasons in, the differences in temperature are barely noticeable. Throughout the year daytime temperatures average 30-31 ̊C, 86-88 ̊F and cool to 22-23 ̊C, 72-73 ̊F. Temperatures also vary considerably with changes in altitude.
Are there any large tropical storm or hurricane concerns in Panama?
No. Panama is extremely fortunate in that it sits to the south and west of the northernmost point of South America. This positioning keeps all of Panama away from the path of tropical storms and hurricanes that pass through the Western Hemisphere.
Are foreigners eligible for mortgages?
Yes. It is definitely possible to find local financing for a property purchase here in Panama even if you are not a resident of Panama. In fact, it is easier to arrange a mortgage in Panama than anywhere else in Latin America due to the fact that Panama is an offshore banking haven and home to more than 80 international banks.
Will I be able to find all the same movies and sporting events that I watch in my home country?
Yes. Panama has enough cable and satellite dish services available that will make sure you stay connected. Whether in the comfort of your own home or out at the many sports bars, restaurants, casinos and movie theaters in the area, you need not worry about missing any scores or new-releases.
Will I be able to find churches and religious services that will allow me to practice my faith?
The Constitution of Panama guarantees freedom of worship. In Panama 85% of the population is Roman Catholic and most of the remaining 15% is Protestant. There are also significant groups of Eastern Orthodox, Evangelical, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and Baha'I religious minorities in Panama, making it very likely that you will find a church or temple with a congregation to worship with.
Can I find in Panama the food items that I know and love back home?
Between the major supermarkets in Colon and Panama City you should be able to buy nearly every type of food item that you are looking for. Cultural diversity equips Panama with multiple high-end, kosher and Asian grocery stores that carry all kinds of specialty foods. The tropical climate also provides for a wide array of fruits and vegetables, guaranteeing that you will find fresh and delicious produce always in season.
