Here's a travel deal not often found on the most-popular lists, but it's certainly one that should be.

Did you ever consider visiting Panama on your next vacation? Not the beaches of Panama City, but Panama in Central America.

The first Super-Inclusive resort has opened in Central America on the Pacific Ocean shore.

Breezes Panama Resort & Spa welcomes singles, couples and families to experience an adventure in the Dry Arc, the area of Santa Clara on a spectacular stretch of sand with mountains on one side and the Pacific on the other.

This vacation hot spot is ideal for taking eco-tours, windsurfing, hiking or relaxing at the resort spa, or playing in the international-style casino.

Book your Breezes Panama getaway by Oct. 25 for stays during October (excluding Oct. 25-29) at rates from just $109 per person, per night.

What's included in this Super-Inclusive vacation? Everything — all meals, snacks, drinks, entertainment, and a wide variety of land and water sports with professional instruction. And tipping is never permitted at Breezes.

Resort amenities include five restaurants and a beach grill, five swimming pools, a swim-up bar and a fully equipped gym.

Spend a day learning how to ace a wind glider or windsurfer. Take time for tennis, Hobie cat sailing or a round of golf at a nearby course.

Get pampered at the a la carte Blue Mahoe Spa with a steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi. Massage, facial, body scrubs, reflexology, manicure and pedicure available at reasonable prices.

For younger guests, the resort features a gameroom and separate children’s facilities, with supervised programs (baby-sitters are available for an extra charge).
