"Muy bueno todo."

Casa Swell Coronado

10/10 Excellent

"Casa Swell was perfect for Rita and I. The location was a quick 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to restaurants and all the other extras you could want. It was clean and the vibe there was friendly and engaging. The part that really sold it the most was the hosts. They are very attentive and have suggestions to help you meet any particular needs you may have. We also really lucked out with having some amazing other guests that we got to know while we were there."

Casa Caracol Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everthing were amazing. I will comeback every time I could. Just one thing to say. I know the bookings in USA and Europe are in a different way. But here in Panama we use WhatsApp a lot so just improve that. But the site is wonderful. A 💎."

Twin room in Coronado Luxury Club & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente. Todo super bien. Recomendado. Comida instalaciones."

San Carlos Surf Resort & Eco Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful place to find out what life on the Pacific coast of Panama is like and what it can be for you. Brooke and her staff are everything you would want in them. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and supportive. Breakfast is included and is the only meal served daily. Definitely try El Parque restaurant in San Carlos. Delicious and inexpensive. Being a small lodge on the ocean makes it special. FYI: No TV, no fridge, no microwave in my room but an awesome ocean view, a comfortable bed and a large walk-in shower. Totally recommend this resort unless you are seeking the amenities of a corporate resort."
