Travel Tips
I have looked on the Foreign Office 'Advice to travellers' site: Here are extracts for you:

Travel to the Darien province should be conducted only with an organised group, and to recognised tourist destinations protected by the Panamanian police (see Local Travel section below).

There are sporadic demonstrations in Panama City about various social and political issues (see Political Situation below). You should avoid all demonstrations and monitor local media for up to date information.

Around 7,500 British tourists/nationals visit Panama every year. Most visits are trouble-free. The main type of incident for which British nationals require consular assistance in Panama is theft of personal belongings, or being arrested for possession of drugs.

We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You are advised to check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake. Please see: Travel Insurance

PS: The father of a young lady with whom I work, lives in Panama and has had no problems. She has been there to visit him and says its great!
