Eshel Suites (lodging with kosher kitchens)
A small Punta Paitilla apartment-hotel, roughly five minutes on foot from the Chabad house, where guests cook in their own kosher kitchens. Chabad recommends it for Shabbat because guests can get to their rooms without an elevator, card keys or motion-sensor lights, and the rooms are on low floors.
Kashrut
- Certified by
- No certifying agency named
Listed for its kosher kitchens, not as a place to buy food. Chabad of Panama City tags it "Kosher" and a travel guide says it is Chabad-run, but neither names a certifier.
Where the certifier doesn’t say, we leave a line out rather than guess. Certification can change: check the certificate on the wall.
Hours
Chabad calls it fully suitable for Shabbat; see the summary for why.
We don’t have hours we can publish for this place. Call or message before you go.
Good to know
Book well ahead for January and summer peaks. Ask the property directly what is supplied in the kitchen and under whose supervision.
