Hotel PURE’s current Costa Rican-based operating team will be sent to Panama to make the initial investigation as well as visiting some of these prospective Panama hotel locations, since they are only 30 minutes away by air. Conclusions will be drawn once the head office of Hotel PURE receives all examinations submitted by the investigation team of their findings in Panama.
