Panama

Thinking of taking the wife (yeah I know) to Panama or Costa Rico for a non hobby vac, any recommendations? Don't have a ton of money but a nice place near a beach and things to do...
Have been looking for some you-tubers have not found a good one (info types)

Book a hotel in old Panama, it's beautiful and away from the girls, casinos and girls are a short Uber ride away. Use Uber for everything it's extremely cheap. I'm heading down next month for two weeks and then hopping over to Ecuador
