"A very nice and very new hotel located on a beautiful and lively beach. It has comfortable, clean and spacious rooms. In addition it has a restaurant about 100 meters away which serves a decent breakfast and very tasteful dishes at night. I had the delicious langostinos with the ajillo sauce, but the caribeños sauce which I also tasted was terrific as well. The very friendly and helpful owner Eduardo is a good host and he speaks English almost fluently."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sabanitas?
The best area to stay in Sabanitas, Colón, Panama, is along the coastal stretch near the city centre, particularly around the areas leading towards Portobelo.

This region offers direct access to the Caribbean Sea and is known for its relaxed atmosphere and picturesque views. Hotels here are typically set back from the main road, providing a tranquil escape while still being convenient for exploring the local area. You'll find a mix of smaller, boutique accommodations and larger resorts that focus on water activities.

For couples seeking a romantic getaway, the resorts just outside the main Sabanitas town centre, heading east towards Portobelo, are an excellent choice. These properties often feature private beaches, infinity pools, and opportunities for snorkelling or diving directly from the hotel. They provide a secluded setting for relaxation while offering easy access to the historic sites of Portobelo, such as the Spanish historic forts.

Families will also find this coastal stretch appealing. Many accommodations offer family-friendly amenities like larger rooms, children's pools, and organised activities.
When is the best time to go to Sabanitas?
The best time to visit Sabanitas is during the dry season, which runs from mid-December to mid-May.

You can expect pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 24°C to 30°C.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape will find the dry season particularly appealing, as the clear weather ensures romantic strolls along the coast and uninterrupted enjoyment of resort amenities.
