"Great beach location, awesome views"

The Golden Frog Inn

Gran Evenia Bijao - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"En general muy bueno, solo algunos detalles que mejorar, la comida 10/10"

Hotel La Compania Del Valle

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutly beautiful"

Radisson Riviera Panama

8/10 Good

"The rooms are cozy and clean, some minor details but not that disturbing. The breakfast was included and very good. Overall it’s a nice place to stay with family. Maintenance should look for room details and fix them in the room. The only issue was that my VIP Gold benefits were not offered or staff did not know of them."

Playa Blanca Beach Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"It was disappointing that the lagoon wasn't free.the lagoon and free non motor sports on the lagoon would have been great."

Hotel Campestre

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful and the short hike to see the square trees was a nice surprise so close to the hotel."

Nomada Republic Hotel El Valle

10/10 Excellent

"We booked a room with a Mountain View and couldn’t have been happier. Love the use of shipping containers as rooms. Porch looking onto the mountains was meditative. Hotel restaurant dinner was excellent with good prices. Breakfast was included. Also excellent. Friendly staff."

San Carlos Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and beds were comfortable. It was a 15 minute walk to the beach and next to local corner stores and restaurants. The owner was nice and showed us around when we came in. It was also around a 20 minute walk from the bus stop so there's no need for a car to move around. Theres a rooftop bbq area with hammocks and table top games that anyone staying can use. There's friendly cats on the property so that's a plus too. The shower was a hassle to use, the shower head sprayed everywhere other than me and to use the hot water I had to keep my finger on a hose coming out of the heater. In the middle of the night another person staying came over banging at the door and swearing over tv noise not letting her sleep, even though the volume was at 10%, so noise travels easily between rooms."
