I remember last year Air Transat had trouble selling those packages to Panama and had to drop them into the $600s/$700s to try and sell them off. They don't seem to be as eager to drop them this year.
Overall, I'd say $900/person isn't too bad, if you consider that flight alone to PTY will run you $650-$700 roundtrip from YYC. Doing the math for 2 people, You're basically paying $400 for 7 nights of hotel accommodation with all drinks and meals included.
In general, I'd say your all-inclusive dollar (what you're getting for the money) doesn't go as far in Panama, where there aren't many all-inclusive hotels, as it would in Mexico, where there are thousands. You might be able to find a better resort on a last minute deal for $900/person in Mexico. But on the other hand Panama is, well, not Mexico.
