Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Panama

beautiful beach. nice private home with a small private pool. great ocean view, lots of wildlife (monkeys, sloths, birds).

Beautiful grounds, saw sloths, monkeys and lots of red frogs. The property is huge and spread out, could get a ride to other locations as needed but enjoyed being able to walk around the property on the trails and along the beach. the private pool at our villa was amazing. the beaches were beautiful. hiked to Polo Beach one day. Did a snorkel trip one day. The staff were so nice and easy to communicate with, could do it all via What’s app. Had a little grocery store near reception which was reasonably priced to get snacks.

The staff here were amazing. Friendly and helpful. Our kids wanted to see sloths and one of the maintenance workers for the property walked with them for an hour showing them where he knew the sloths lived without us even asking. The property is beautiful. Right in the middle of the rainforest. we had a 3 bedroom Villa and the view from the Villa was gorgeous. Lush and green, flowers with a view of the sea. The Villa was huge. Each bedroom was large and the kitchen was well stocked. It had a huge terrace outside that overlooked the rainforest. And it’s own private pool. Red frog beach is right on the property and is a beautiful beach.

The Villa #53 was great, amazing pool, and sloths in the back yard. Pool is 7ft deep, so really young kids need float. Check in was good, trolly to rooms and they delivered our bags. Restruant food was really amazing. Best view ever while eating.!!

The Red Frog Beach Resort exceeded our expectations. The resort is a beautiful tropical paradise. Our beach front room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The pool was so inviting and the view was amazing. The restaurant was great and the food very tasty. But what made this Resort rate 10 or above was the friendly staff that went above their normal duties to make our stay a very memorable experience. We highly recommend The Red Frog Beach Resort.

This place and it's people really deserve some praise! Hard to even start to explain what an incredible experience staying there was. Starting from the pick-up with a boat by Elke (hope this is how you write his name) and some bubbles along the way and the most helpful and detail oriented staff I have ever seen. Beautiful place, location, activities and ofcourse the food by the amazing chefs. Everything was so personalised. Special thanks to Franco at the beachbar for creating good cocktails and chill atmosphere with his guitar, Sebastian who knew exactly where to find dolphins on our sunset boat ride and the chefs for getting us the most delicious lobster we've ever eaten! Cannot recommend this place enough (although almost feeling like I'd like to keep this place a secret because it's too special 😂).

Having worked in the luxury world, everything about this hotel is perfect. It has a soul and that comes through all the details and the apparently “effortless” service of a wonderful and very human team who love what they do. They are themselves. They have all been recruited for their genuine talent and connection and like and amazing orchestra everything flows and you just blend into nature. We loved David and Benjamin’s food, the amazing balance of the cocktails and the total communion with the beauty of the island and surrounding. Our swims and kayaks round the island allowed us to see dolphins, turtles and even an indigenous family in a neighbouring island. It merits its top 15 WW best new hotels in the world. Stay without hesitation and join paradise.

had a wonderful time at this resort. Food and cocktails all amazing. views of the sea from villa was lovely, also got to see fish through the window in the floor of the villa. Kayaked and went on boat trip to zapatilla. Room service perfect and staff all really helpful so peaceful and a real paradise

The property was beautiful and the bungalows were gorgeous. The food and drinks were top notch! Everyone on staff was very kind and attentive. Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet place!

The service was amazing. The staff really take care of you and all your needs! The food was great and was high quality. The rooms were more than comfortable and easy access to many excursions.

Amazing views, so many trails to take and the property was absolutely stunning. Joe was wonderful. He arranged for gas to be brought to me as I ran short so he went above and beyond. Cleaning lady was thorough and kind.

Beautiful location, lots of monkeys and hummingbirds. The house was really nice. Multiple outdoor cooking areas and a nice kitchen.

I loved the retired location of the place and the jacuzzi was amazing.

The german family who run this B&B work very hard and were very kind! This is one of the nicest places in the area and the views are AMAZING, but as a romantic getaway there was not a lot of privacy. Rooms are all quite close to the main sitting and dining area. There was only 1 room out of the 6 that I would consider private. There are only a few poolside chairs. There are NO close dining options, so you are limited to their lunch and dinner options (which are delicious but repetitive). Internet was slow and hot water was limited. Once we got to understand the system of dining and used to seeing the family every day, we were more comfortable. We had a really fabulous time overall and we would stay again, just wanted to give other guests the heads up of some of the quirks and to have clear expectations going in that this is more of a homestay or Bed and Breakfast than a luxury hotel.

Owners of the hotel are everything ♥️ kind and lovely people. Fresh homemade and delicious food. In the hotel you can book and pay a reasonable price for visiting the 3 islands (Bolaños, Gámez and Parida). As you can see the hotel is on an island but this kind people pick you up from the dock to the hotel for free when arriving and leaving and also the morning you are going to the islands. Really recommend this place.

Very much enjoyed our stay at Boca Brava Paradise. We were treated like family, maybe even better! They upgraded our room, which was nice. The food was excelllent throughout our stay. Seeing Parrots and monkeys on the property was cool, and a short walk down the road in the jungle revealed even more. Highly recommend.

The view, the room and property setting was beautiful.

I'm a digital nomad, and I'm in Panama for 10 weeks. The name of the hotel grabbed me first, as coliving is a concept that most nomads are familiar with. This is a fantastic place because it gives you a private (very large) hotel room with a refrigerator and an ice machine on the floor. It also has a fully equipped kitchen, a laundry, a gym, and a swimming pool on the 7th floor. You have to schedule cleaning of the room, but for me, that's a feature, not a drawback. I don't like daily cleaning service. It's not a very chic area of the city, but there was a grocery store within walking distance and several economical restaurants also within walking distance, and you could get to something a little fancier with a 15-minute walk to the financial district. It's a short walk to the metro, and almost everything you could want to go to in Panama City is also available with a very small Uber cost. If you're a nomad, this is the place for you!

Very good choice if you are on a budget. Rooms are large and beds are comfortable. Hot water in the showers are only in the higher floors above #3. Pool is great for children and the Jacuzzi for beached parents. Very helpful staff at Reception especially Vicente and Alicia who always greet you with an Oscar award winning smile.

The Coliving Hotel is near the beautiful Iglesia del Carmen & its adjacent metro station. The popular Expat Cangrejo 🦀 neighborhood starts here. The location was great for my conference at the Panama Hilton and my 5-night stay cost little .ore than 1 Hilton night. Uber was quick & <$3 US. The 5th floor laundromat, gym, pool were a real plus.

Chantal Vicente and Alicia are the dream team working at reception. They make sure you get the best room and always respond to any problems you may have. The rooftop pool and Jacuzzi is a great facility. The kitchen on roof is also very convenient. A great place for singles couples or family.

A great place for the cost. Great rooms, pool and kitchen on top floor. Big lobby where I waitied for my taxi to the airport. I will stay here again when I return to PTY!

We had a delightful experience. Your guides and tours were superior. We did the coffee tour and the zip line. Both exceptional. The food was excellent the fire at night was pleasant and comforting. Wish we had stayed longer. I did lose a pair of gold hoop earrings and a silver necklace. I know I had them on there. I looked everywhere but hopefully one of your chamber maids finds them and will return to me. They were both sentimental. The ride to the top of the mountain was very scary and I didn't think we would make it. We actually had to call for the truck to pick us up. I know we wouldn't go down the next day. Not much you can do about that...it is the top of the mountain. I guess we weren't prepared. Next time will be better. Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories of your country.

The tree trek is a beautiful hotel! Its maybe 10 minutes from the center square of Boquete in the heart of the mountains. The staff was amazing, the room beautiful, the food phenomenal, and the sight a must see. The staff made us a lunch thr night before as we were leaving at 4 am to go on a jeep tour to volcano baru and would miss the continental breakfast. Having done ziplining in Costa Rica, I would still definitely recommend the zip lining - its only 55$ for guests and quite the view and action on line 10. Strap a camera to you for video footage if you can ;) This hotel is highly recommended and a great price for the high quality you receive!!

The Boquete Mountain Resort was amazing. It is located on top of a mountain, so the drive to the top is rough. However, it is well worth it! It is quiet and tranquil and very comfortable. The staff is very nice and the food at the restaurant is well priced and very tasty. There are activities to do on the premises which are offered at a discount to hotel guests. There is free WiFi at the hotel, however it was not possible to access it from the rooms. On a better note, there are trails to walk through and lots of vegetation to learn about!

This place is absolutely amazing. We've traveled extensively and it was the absolute best. Most of the hotels in Panama are airbrushed. Watch out for them but not here. It's the real thing. Ultra clean ultra modern. The road up to the resort is a bit bumpy but that's part of the experience. You don't need a 4 x 4 truck you can get up there in a ar just drive lowly. It's worth the trip to see the mountains also do the canopy tour. Excellent food in the restaurant. Not over priced either. Go go enjoy.

This place is fantastic and they offer adventures for everyone in the family. The climate is superb and the views are beautiful. Service is excellent and the restaurant offers delicious food. The room accomodations I would rate 5 stars. Bring several cameras, waterproof is best if you are planning on exploring nature trails. They have trucks that take you from Los Establos office in town to their hotel, up in Palo Alto. Walking there instead is extreme aerobic exercise because of the steep mountain road and you may get soak in cold rain but it is a nice, couple of hours walk.

pool and staff were great! breakfast was excellent.

location is accessible, right off the interamerican highway. traveling with family everything was peaceful and what expected. ample parking.

The front desk girl and boy were really nice and gentle. Excelent customer servicee

Hot water and big bed - agua caliente y cama grande

The owner and staff are very friendly and the hotel is pet-friendly which is a plus. This is a basic hotel, if you need the basics, this is a very good option. The first time we stayed was due to the fact that there was no other option available in the area at the time and to be honest we were quite skeptical in general, but now we have stayed four times since then. If you need a quiet, clean place to sleep, with the basics and a decent price while you spend the day out moving around, this should work pretty well.

The rooms at Panama Camping Park are very comfortable and designed well, including a nice private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, a ceiling fan, great lighting, a comfortable bed, and small sitting area outside. The included breakfast gives you three options (I chose the traditional Panameno option), which was delicious. While not in the center of town, it's just a short walk to local coffee shops/bars/restaurants and just one block from a new and well-stocked El Rey grocery store. Best of all, the bus to David stops near that store, which is very convenient for an early (5am) trip. I rested very well here.

What a great find . Definitely stay here. Our room was clean with crisp white linen. We had a little balcony with views towards the mountains. The shower was great with hot water and good pressure . The walk into town is easy and it’s quiet at night. And bonus was the complimentary breakfast - it’s served in the lovely cafe on site that makes amazing coffee and does awesome desserts . Get the pancakes and they come with eggs too , delicious .

Excellent location in Boquete. Clean and comfortable accomodation. The restaurant 'Malu Cafe' on site served very good breakfast which was included in our stay. Dinner and cakes were also amazing here. Malu Cafe is well worth a visit and is popular with the locals also. There is a fantastic park directly behind the property, great for a stroll or just sit and watch the humming birds whizz around.

Great location with a new REY grocery 1 block and many restaurants only a 4-6min walk. The restaurant on site is very good. Plus the entrance to the large and very nice town park with ponds & ducks is right beside the property. Super nice & helpful staff. Easy parking near the rooms.

The breakfast was great and the staff so friendly and attentive. As for location, it is close to the main road but not noisy. Being close to the beautiful park and Rey (grocery store) is a huge plus. Would definitely stay here again.

We spent 4 full days (5-nights) at Beach Break Surf Camp, and would’ve loved to have stayed longer! Booking was super easy. The property manager, John, was super responsive throughout the booking process, and we went with the all-inclusive package. The morning after we arrived (we got in pretty late), the surf camp manager, Brent, immediately found us and got us set-up. We brought my daughter’s surfboard with us, but never needed it, as they had plenty of quality board options for her to use (we’ve had experiences elsewhere where that was not the case). The rooms were pretty basic, but were plenty comfortable; especially given that we spent nearly all of our time outside. Each room has its own dedicated hammock, there were lounges around the pool and overlooking the beach, and the property never felt crowded (at least while we were there). I thought the pool appeared small in the pictures I’d seen, but it actually feels super spacious when you’re in it, and it’s deeper than you’d expect. It was very refreshing to have as option, even though you are literally steps from the ocean! The restaurant, Pizza Gavilán, was fantastic! A wide range of menu options, and ALL of the food was delicious (and I truly mean EVERYTHING we ordered was really good)!! All-in-all, we had a fantastic holiday at Beach Break Surf Camp! But is it worth the 6 hour drive from PTY? Heck yeah it is! Without a doubt, we will return! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amazing surf vibes right at the beach! The location couldn’t be better – you wake up and walk straight into the waves. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is relaxed. Great mix of surf, fun, and chill time. The Gym and pool area are also a huge plus!

The location was perfect, the staff were kind, there was a free pool table, and the room was a good size and clean and modern. The mattresses are good quality and comfortable.

We had a great time with our Family with two Kids. The Room had air conditioning and Fans, everything was clean and the nights quiet. We enjoyed the pool and the sea right in front. The restaurant had good food as well.

Very clean, updated, wifi. Nice clean pool. Beautiful beach. Friendly staff and good restaurant on site. Supermarket nearby. Attractions like surfing right on site.

Clean linen,clean room and bathroom,comfortable bed , good air conditioning, security gate, quiet

Easy check-in/out, it's a drive-in reception where you just provide your ID and they'll give you a the room number with the key, then you can drive to park at your door. The room was big enough but very bland...

We loved this accommodation. The location was right off the highway, it included parking, it was super dog friendly and the staff were lovely. Not to mention our room was very spacious and clean.

It's clearly not a 5 star hotel, but the place was fine. It was clean and tidy when I arrived.

The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Easy check in. Dog friendly place. Very good for a stop for a night.

The hotel is immaculate, incredible grounds and the chef is wonderful. The hotel receptionists are there to meet your every need. The pool, yoga room and plenty of modern exercise equipment are available.

The staff, particularly, Ledis, was friendly and very competent. The room and the green areas were beautiful and so serene. I loved how they valued silence and meditation. It felt zen and serene. The breakfast was very well presented and everything was fresh. The areas of yoga, gym, and pool were also very nice!

the Hotel itself, the huge walk-in shower, the peaceful location of the hotel, the swimming pool, the nespresso coffee provided in the room and the little terrace with garden access

The breakfast was absolutely exceptional! We were the only ones there most days. It was extremely quiet and peaceful and the food was amazing! The grounds were breathtaking also and the amenities were perfect. I loved the outdoor jacuzzi, we had it all to ourselves both times we used it and it was so relaxing. Finally the grounds outside were absolutely beautiful and I attended one of the classes and that was a great space for that also. The location was also excellent, we could walk into town pretty easily. The staff were all super nice and accommodated whatever we needed, they even partner with a local cab company to provide car service for a super reasonable price whenever needed. This was one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed in due to its peaceful ambiance, great service and beautiful grounds. Would definitely stay here again!

I loved this place. The grounds are beautiful, and the whole property has the aura of a holistic, restorative escape in the mountains. Breakfast was excellent. The staff was amazing—responsive, organized, and on top of everything. They coordinated a coffee tour, an ATV ride, and multiple taxis for us without a hitch. A calm, elegant base for Boquete. 10/10.

Carmen's is a lovely, I would call Eco tourism place to stay. The property is in an awesome setting surrounded by nature and is a great place to relax and unwind. We met Carmen on Colon Island and took a boat to her place. Once we arrived, we were given a beer and chatted to Carmen for over an hour before going to our room. Our room was up a flight of stairs that had a great view and was perfect for the 3 of us. We had an amazing dinner that Carmen cooked that night (extra for each guest) and chatted with the other guests while enjoying some wine and beer. The next morning, breakfast was cooked fresh for each guest and was more than enough and delicious for everyone. She gave us some great recommendations on what to do during our stay. I would definitely stay again! If you don't mind a beautiful rustic place to stay, this is it. Her husband Marcel was just as pleasant and accommodating. Remember you are on an island and getting to the other islands is a short boat ride away. Just as a side note, we usually stay at Kimpton and Ritz Carlton hotels, so this was a nice change of pace.

Staying at Carmen’s was an absolute highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends into her home. The place is beautifully maintained, with comfortable rooms, a lovely dock, and a lush garden perfect for relaxing. The facilities are excellent, but what truly makes this place special is the warmth and hospitality of Carmen and Marcel. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed, always with such kindness and care. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and abundant—a perfect way to start the day. And in the evening, Carmen’s home-cooked dinners were a treat—she prepares the freshest fish of the day, and all the guests gather around the table to share a meal and great conversation. Carmen was incredibly helpful with everything, from tending to a blister on my foot to organizing day trips. This stay was more than just accommodation—it was a truly memorable experience. I can’t recommend it enough!

I had a wonderful stay at Carmen's place! She and Marcel are friendly outgoing hosts, and the guesthouse has an amazing location surrounded by the jungle facing the bay. Carmen took very good care of me as a solo traveller, suggesting destinations for day-trips and activities to me and catering to small personal needs as an extra-ration of sand fly-repellent or my daily early morning tea :-) Apart of excursions to Zapatillas and Red Frog Beach, I roamed around by kayak and SUP and Carmen also organised to go out as a group for dinner and to watch some live music, which was a lot of fun! Last but not least, she prepares great dinners with different dishes and provides a generous breakfast with local fruit, pancakes, bread, jam, and your choice of eggs. Would love to come back in the future !

I felt right at home at Carmen's Place. I was treated like a member of the family. From the moment i arrived until the last moment that I left, I felt at home and welcome. Form the generous breakfast in the morning to a trip to another island for good food and live music in the evening, I was treated like family. Some hosts welcome you and then leave you alone. Here, I could be alone if I liked or be engaged with my host. As a solo traveler, I welcomed the opportunity. Carmen and Marcel have a marvelous property, somewhat secluded, while yet folded into the local community, a real experience.

Idyllic setting in the rainforest with a view of the ocean. Breakfasts are exceptional, and you can eat in a covered area right on the dock. Carmen is a chef and the dinners are delicious, plentiful and diverse. Loved all the flavours. Carmen and Marcel are friendly, gracious hosts that really want to make sure their guests are happy and enjoying their stay. Carmen was so helpful in advising us on tours and places to visit. We stayed in the cabin up the stairs and we loved being able to relax on the balcony in the midst of the lush rainforest, listening the the jungle sounds and watching birds.
