Top Playa El Palmar Hotel Reviews

Gran Evenia Bijao - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Family friendly,la sección "teens" necesitaría un poquito más de amor a las instalaciones y el quipo, nada más. la atención y preparación de bebidas en el bar muy bueno."

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."

Cozy Condo con piscina en Playa Coronado/Cozy Condo with pool in Coronado

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I absolutely loved our stay! It had everything we wanted: pool, close to the beach, safe, kitchen and more. It’s a bit small but for our family of 5, we felt it was a nice fit for one night. The host was amazing. Very prompt to respond. He had bottle waters for us and provided coffee and tea for us as well. There was a small issue we came across and we quickly responded to resolve it. Completely recommend!"

Escape to Panama's best Pacific beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. We could watch the large tidal changes and the changing waves from our balcony. Sunrises on the beach were magical. The pools were clean and the staff friendly and accommodating. The unit itself was very nice and clean and well accomodated. The hosts were extremely helpful and always available. We had a little trouble finding the resort but largely due to not looking for the host's messaging early enough. I highly recommend this beautiful place!"
