Top Playa El Palmar Hotel Reviews

Gran Evenia Bijao - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Debería tener un espacio para hacer actividades como un sendero"

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."

Rio Mar Premier Beachfront Community - Beach-Pools-Spas-Surf-Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful 5 week stay at this oceanfront condo in Río Mar. The unit was spotless, bright, and spacious, and had an incredible view—watching the sunrise from the balcony was a great start to each day! The resort grounds are beautifully maintained, and the pools were fantastic for relaxing throughout the day. There’s also a small on‑site restaurant that was good and very convenient. The location is about a 10-15 minute drive from Coronado, so having a car is definitely helpful, but the peaceful setting more than made up for it. We are already thinking about renting it again next year!"

8 BEDROOM BEACH FRONT VILLA IN CORONADO BEACH, PANAMA

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect house for a large group vacation. The two bunkrooms were great for the kids and it was so nice for everyone to have their own bathroom. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the outdoor living spaces were perfect for gathering or getting away to read a book. Betty and Felix were so helpful and Suzanne was very easy to communicate with. My group and I would highly recommend booking this house!"
