I apologize for the spam folks, but this is a pretty big event here in Panama and if anybody is interested in seeing Carnival in Las Tablas I know of two available places:

1. A new one bedroom apartment located 2 blocks from the main square - Carnival price $400 available now till March 9th.

2. A typical Panamanian house (renovated but basic) located on a nearby beach, El Estero. - Carnival price is now reduced to $500 from now till March 9th.
