Las Tablas Things to Do

Playa Uverito means "little grape beach" in Spanish, don't know how the beach got it's name, as there are no vineyards nearby.
Playa Uverito is about seven miles almost due east from Las Tablas. Just follow the signs. There is a cantina there and Rincon del Faro restaurant and La Luna Hotel.
The cantina is typical Panamanian, has local beer and some local food. Rincon del Faro is more upscale, but not expensive, see my seperate review of that restaurant. One can also hang out at Rincon del Faro, they have a pool and beach tables to sit and pass the day. They don't charge anything to use the facilities, but they expect you to purchase beverages, at least.
Not much else there, some interesting beach houses, there is a new hotel there, La Luna, it is just before one gets to Rincon del Faro on the inland side of the road. (Right side as one is going to Rincon del Faro).

I have traveled throughout Central/South America looking for the best carnaval celebration, and none can really top the one in Las Tablas. I cant believe there arent more reviews on this website about it. I believe it's because its less of a tourist attraction, and more a Panamanian event. Believe me when I say it, you will have the time of your life. The schedule goes like this: Wake up at about 11am to the sound a fog horn, which blasts over the town telling everyone to get out of bed. Join thousands of people in the streets and party until dark. At dark, everyone heads to the outside disco/club. Party and dance until the sun comes up. Go to sleep until 11am. Repeat this for 5 days. Seriously, it will be the time of your life. Hotels are very hard to come by. Bring a tent, and ask one of the locals if you can set it up in their back yard. My friends and I set up our tents in the back yard of a local hotel, and didnt have to pay much per day. Please let me know if you have questions.
