Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Panama

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.

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.

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.

Spectacular view, beautiful refreshing infinity pool, access to beverages, kind hostess, privacy, wildlife viewing, great breakfast cooked to order, help with day trips

We LOVED the views from our little casita as well as from entire property, infinity pool, hummingbird watching from hammocks, access to drinks and ice at any given time, having regular towels, beach towels and pool towels all provided by the Erika and Herbie, the hosts.

The lodge is amazing, high on a hill with an incredibly steep driveway and a view of multiple islands. From the pool we watched monkeys and iguanas in the trees below; the boat dock where you take water taxis to the island (most of which are marine national parks) is close by and after traveling all my life to some of the most incredible places on earth, this definitely is the icing on the cake. Rarely have i had such a beautiful view from my room and from the pool. Breakfasts are copious and plentiful with fresh fruit and eggs cooked to your liking.

The property not only has breathtaking views but everything is immaculate and well maintained. My husband and I do a lot of traveling and this was the nicest bed and breakfast we’ve stayed in. The owners are super friendly and helpful. They made us feel welcomed and gave us the low-down on what to do and where to go in the area. They even booked an excursion for us. They treated us like royalty every morning by serving us a made to order breakfast. They work very hard at making sure everything is perfect for their guests. They have thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable. Not a detail is missed. We loved the pool. The water was the perfect temperature…refreshing but not too cold. We spent a lot of time relaxing there and admiring the views of the ocean and islands. I can’t say enough good things about Eco Lodge. It was more than just a place to stay. It was an amazing experience. It’s a great place to relax and get away. Thanks to Erika and Herbie for sharing their slice of heaven with us!

They run a tight ship, everything is looked after with the utmost care and the communal breakfasts are very pleasant for folks who want to meet and converse with others whether traveling alone or with a companion. Views from the pool are spectacular (lots of lovely birds) and hosts were responsive when we messaged for info prior to arrival helped us arrange a tour in a matter of seconds. They were also incredibly considerate of our dietary needs and served a very hearty breakfast, encouraging us to eat well before our tour. Drinking water readily available at no extra cost. Air conditioning and hot water for showers were both great. If you like the idea of always present and attentive hosts watching over everything and anticipating every need and are willing to stay somewhere eco-friendly (which means reading and following rules) this is a fabulous option (excellent value!) We had a small rental car and that was all we needed to get up the hill to this property. We walked partway down the hill to dinner at the restaurant next door...one guest even did it (up and down) in crutches!

We had an amazing family holiday at Bluff Beach Retreat! Augusto and Anita and all staff are doing an excellent job to care for their guests. We felt very welcome, received many helpful recommendations and enjoyed the extremely delicious breakfast. Our room was clean at all times and very spacious for us three. There are only very few mosquitos, we felt safe and the beach right at across the road (which was not busy) was beautiful. Unlike some other hotels around here, ours was always quiet with only nature sounds to hear which we enjoyed. No music all day long, no queuing at the pool and the other guests were very friendly and nice to talk to. Make sure to do some grocery shopping before coming to the hotel as there are no shops around. We wish we could have stayed longer and would love to come back one day to this paradise place.

The Retreat is an amazing place on Isla Colon, if you prefer to stay out of town, enjoying the beauty of Bluff Beach. Our room was beautiful. The gardens are amazing, we have been spotting sloths, monkeys, lots of different species of hummingbird, toucan, and so much more. The breakfast was great and the staff always so helpful and welcoming. We went on a nature walk that Martin recommended to us with a resident biologist (Corinna) and we enjoyed it a lot! Else, we spent our days at the beach, in the garden, or at the pool - it was exactly what we have been looking for.

It's a little paradise, beautiful garden, great swimming pool, very well designed buildings and all self-sustainable. Augusto, Anita, Aragon! :-) and the other members of the staff made us feel very welcome. Special thanks to Rico, who showed us where we could spot the sloth; we would not have been able to find it without him. We saw cappuccino and howler monkeys, aguoties, hummingbirds, from very close. We're sorry that we didn't have time to visit Ron's farm with limetrees and horses. But we tasted the lime pie in the restautant nextdoor, made with his limes, very delicious!

This was one of the best vacation spots I've experienced. There are so many nice features, e.g. eco-friendly resort design, bicycles, beach equipment, wildlife, comfortable lodging, location near beautiful beaches, dining nearby, awesome lap pool, and very friendly and attentive on-site hosts. It was very much a paradise and I hope to return someday.

A paradise in jungle beach Bluff, the house is stunning, the pool is amazing, the beach is at 20 meters, wifi is 150mbps, the staff is adorable, yoga classes are great, breakfast is tasty!

This property was very nice, very comfortable. Everything you need is in the rooms. Very clean. Nice pool, with swim-up bar. Good restaurant. But, the best part: the personnel were extremely friendly!!! No matter who you spoke to, they kind & courteous. We would definitely return!!

Amazing experience - staff, location, food, cocktails, and ocean resto with swim up pool bar….We made the trip to Tropical Suites at last minute and only had two days….we will return and stay much longer….

I actually stayed here in July of 2023 but there seems to be no option to write that- But I have always meant to review this place! We absolutely loved it here when we went- it has a beautiful view of the sea from the pool. We stayed in the starfish room (the only issue is it is on floor 1 so it's a bit noisy at night) and we loved the outdoor pool and swim up bar. Breakfast was also great! The location is perfect- a short walk from tours leaving and if you're a sabbath observant or kosher keeping Jew, chabad is just a few minutes away (as is their restaurant). Would stay here again!

Great hotel. Clean, comfortable rooms with a/c that works well. Staff is friendly. The pool is lovely. Yes, people from the restaurant can use the pool, but I don’t know where you’re going to go without other people in the pool. It was never too crowded. The food at this restaurant was some of the best on the island. I wish we had bought the breakfast package at check in, but we didn’t know what to expect. There are only a handful of places on the island that serve breakfast at all. Great selection of drinks as well, including fresh smoothies, sodas, and cocktails. The view from our room was amazing, we were in the birdhouse (on the top floor). The only downside is that several nights per week Aqua, a hostel/bar across the water has very loud music late into the night. It went until 3 or 4am. But there are nights they aren’t allowed to have the music.

This hotel is like an oasis in Bocas. It is wonderful to have a swimming pool to dip in on hot days. Every morning I witnessed the pool being cleaned from one morning two people wearing snorkel masks with scrub brushes to the vacuum. The food is delicious. I ate breakfast and dinner here. I highly recommend signing up for the breakfast option; the presentation, quality of food, and variety is excellent. Breakfast options include an omelette of spinach and turkey bacon on fresh focaccia bread, Salmon with poached eggs on fresh focaccia with an avocado puree , Chocolate pancakes with blueberry granola compote with a side of bananas on Nutella. All served with fresh fruit. The rooms were spacious and clean . If feasible, I would highly recommend an ocean view. It is delightful to sit out on the patio with an overhead fan. There is air-conditioning that you can control in your room and works very well. The hotel has an eco-focus with a spot in the lobby to fill up your water bottle with safe drinkable water to reduce plastic use. There is a large smart TV. Wi-Fi works very well. The staff is very friendly and kind. They speak English but are also patient to help you if you want to learn some Spanish. This hotel is well situated if you want to go diving, take a water taxi, go to Spanish class, go to the grocery store, the airport, etc. My opinion is this is the number one spot to stay in Bocas town!

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.

A classic hotel, wonderful pool with a swim up tiki bar. Probably best pool in Panama! There are two very cute cats on the property that visit guests at breakfast, staff is wonderful and kind with the cats. The two cats are loved by many guests who enjoy the interactions and company. Rooms are indeed older condition but are very clean and very large as hotel rooms were built much bigger then, even for the most basic room. Would happily stay again. Excellent buffet breakfast.

Our stay was nice. We added two days to the beginning of our reservation due to changed plans. The first room hotel put us in was a modernized remodeled cabana pool room. Unfortunately as nice as room was there was a glass shower and toilet area w no privacy glass, so completely viewable from room. This didn’t work for our family. So I requested another room. All they had left in cabana pool rooms were the non remodeled rooms w no modernization. But had private bathroom. We decided to downgrade and move to 2 nd room option. The room smelled musty and was outdated but served its purpose. Beds were nice, right on pool deck and near breakfast buffet.

This is one of my favorite places to stay so far. I like to stay in the Cabanas because it opens up to the beautiful pool, bar, and dining areas. Its great to stay in the cabanas if you have kids so you can have direct access to the pool. I've stayed in the large 5 star hotels but prefer the more intimate setting at the Hotel El Panama. The free breakfast is subpar but the hotel is located in walking distance of good eateries!

Very central location, spacious rooms, and excellent service. The pool is large but poorly maintained—there were algae along the edges of the tiles. Other than that, everything else is excellent. Good food at good prices.

Young man at pool bar provided superb service and his food presentation was fabulous (Saturday 24 August 2024).

This property is a lot of fun, but the food selections aren't great. We stayed two nights. We were not able to eat at a restaurant the night we arrived (their rules? they just said we couldn't) and the second night we were there there was only one restaurant open and it was fully booked out by 7 am the day of. The buffet was not great food. Understandably the food selections are catered towards Panamanian guests, but there were American food options, but the quality was very poor. I didn't enjoy eating the food for the most part. The kids loved the place which was nice. They were fine with the food. Our group was 17 total people, so plenty of opinions to go around. But overall our experience was fun and enjoyable. They close the pools too early. Our kids wanted to keep playing but they closed the pools with the slides at like 5 or 6 pm and the other pools just an hour later which was strange. They also "closed the beach" and kicked our kids off the beach at 5 when their life guards left. This shouldn't be the case with a public beach. They should just post signs that life guards are not on the beach. Plenty of day light out, but we weren't allowed on the beach. The rooms were nice, but the beds were small. The rooms claimed to fit 6 people in them, but only had two fulls in two of our rooms and two queens in another room. We had to request rollaway beds that were in very poor condition and extremely hard. The room size was big enough to have a 3rd bed.

The property is well located on the ocean. It has beautiful pools. However at the main pool the music blasts all day and it’s not very relaxing. Other pools are quiet.

I didn't like the check in- we arrived at 230pm because check-in was at 3pm. Once we arrived, we had to take a number after we checked in. So we wait til 315pm, taken to a room to see about a time share, then our bracelets are given to enter. So why, at check in, could our bracelets not been given with room key and have us wait in the main lobby until 3pm? So we didn't get to our room until 345pm. Our safe didn't work... no one came after it was reported. Small things like that. Plus, the pool closes at 8pm. Most places at least 10pm. It was nice. We were never told about the other huge pool that we could go to with our bracelets- found this out about 3hrs before leaving. I also had the lady who talked to us about a time share comment that I must like expensive items because of the room I chose.... not good. I live modestly and only splurge on vacays. I didn't like the fact that we had to go sit in a room to discuss time share. Can they not put a brochure in room instead? This takes up OUR time. I immediately said we weren't interested and wanted our key to go to room. Like I said, nice stay better without the other.

Location was nice but is lacking cleaning around pool and eating areas. Perhaps restricting any drinking inside the pool.

Concluding our Panama trip at Playa Blanca, we faced challenges navigating the resort with a surprising lack of English-speaking staff. Dated rooms, limited accessibility, and the absence of coffee makers were notable drawbacks. Despite these issues, the food was plentiful and decent. Attempts to dine at other restaurants were hindered by a reservation only policy. The beach area was well-maintained, but concerns arose about the underweight horse used for rides. The pool deck was clean, but the water seemed cloudy. First-time at an all-inclusive, this experience has sparked my interest to continue exploring similar resorts.

The hotel is conveniently situated close to the pier were one arrives from the ferry. This is a well maintained hotel and it looks new and of a more than acceptable standard. The pool is more like a plunge pool, but with a scenic view of the beach and surrounding islands. The police station is across from the entrance of the hotel, so no issues with security.

I recently stayed at the Taboga Palace Spa Hotel in Panama and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The owner Dave was extremely friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The service throughout our stay was superior, with staff going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Our room was perfect for my husband and me. It was clean, spacious and had all the amenities we needed to make our stay comfortable. The bed was comfortable, and we had a great night's sleep every night. Drinks at the bar were strong and delicious, with a great variety of options to choose from. We loved trying out the different cocktails on offer, and the bar staff were always happy to make recommendations. However, the best part of the hotel was undoubtedly the infinity pool. It was the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun, with stunning views of the ocean. The pool area was very clean and well-maintained, and we spent many hours lounging by the pool, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The staff was so amazing and helped out so much! They helped us figure out some plans on what to do and theh were just really nice to talk to in general. All of the staff always made sure to welcome us in a kind manner. I would definitely stay here again especially because the pool was so nice!! After being at the beach all day it was nice to go swim in the pool that was often times shaded and also had a great view of the ocean.

Very much enjoyed my stay here. Dave is helpful and knows how to make cocktails. The hotel is one minute from the pier and has nice pool great for swimming or just relaxing. Two beaches are near by. In the front of the hotel is small restaurant worth to visit. (they are open only during the day) The place was spotless and my bathroom felt like 5* hotel. The hotel use filtered water and my skin felt soft even after spending time in the pool. Lovely place.

Close to the peer Nice 🏊‍♀️ swimming pool, don't miss the sun rise from this place. Special large towels for the pool. Bathrobe, I didn't ask if it can be used outside at the beach Very nice hospitality from the British gentleman who own and runs the place. It is a good boutique hotel, it is very obvious that the owner puts his hart and soul in his hotel.

Very much deserves its 4 stars, they're really on top of it. Friendly and professional staff, impeccably clean. We were lucky and got upgraded to a larger room, which was very spacious, but I think the regular rooms are fairly large as well. Full bar and a restaurant with a very decent menu. Located right in the center of David close to everything you need. Nice views, too. There's also a pool and a gym, though we didn't use those. Prices are absolutely fair for what you get.

This was the perfect place for an overnight in David. Staff were warm and friendly, easy check-in, great buffet breakfast, on-site parking garage and a pool and gym. My one complaint is that the bicycle in the gym has only 1 pedal and the sauna was not turned on. But everything else was perfect. Take note that if you arrive by car, the streets arriving to the hotel are very congested.

We stay at the Hotel de Ciudad David every time we visit David. The staff are always extremely friendly and professional, the breakfast is great and my kids love the pool. It is in an extremely central location, easily able to get a taxi if you want to explore further afield.

First class. Nothing was spared to give this hotel an A rating--the comfortable room, awesome pool, and the Morning Brunch was second to none. The staff were helpful and often anticipated my needs. If or when I return to David, this is where I'll stay

Good location, good breakfast and food overall, good prices in everything. The pool area a little dirty. Good rooms, good room service and everyone super nice and attentive.

This was just a beautiful resort. Gorgeous building, nice comfy rooms, excellent food, nice pools. To Uber everywhere was easy from this resort and tours would charge $10 to pick you up there, but no big deal. Our kids loved the pools and breakfast buffet. The only feedback I really have is to have a safety shower mat for the shower, as the floor gets slippery, and our toddler slipped twice in there and bumped his head. Also- we could not go in the pool on New Years Eve, as they were setting up for party. A playground over on the turf between the golf center and main lobby would be AMAZING for families, as there is no playground for kids to run around currently, and the rooms are tight. Other than that, amazing stay!

Very friendly staff, good gym facility, beautiful pool and pool area. Good food at the pool bar. Great breakfast.

The Santa Maria hotel is beautiful! We stay at this hotel for 5 nights. As soon as you walk into the lobby, you will see a beautiful flower display. The hotel, restaurants, rooms and pool areas were clean. The employees are genuinely kind and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. By day 2 of our stay, most of the staff recognized us and remembered our drinks from the prior day. There are plenty of chairs, day beds and cabanas by the pool. Most importantly, you do not have to pay extra for the cabana or day beds. The breakfast buffet was definitely a favorite. There are more than enough options. The hotel also offers music such as a band or a DJ every night from 7:00-9:00pm. There is also a lunch brunch on Sundays that you have the option of attending. The hotel is also close to Panama City with only a 15 minute drive. The employees at the hotel also offered to help you find tours, and a booklet for looking at the options. The golf course was usually busy, but in the mornings had a lower attendance. The Santa Maria hotel was a beautiful and relaxing place to stay.

Our stay at The Santa Maria Hotel in Panama City was nothing short of spectacular! This five-star luxury hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the well-trained, kind, and professional staff catered to our every need, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. The room features were excellent—comfortable, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The dining options were exceptional, offering a variety of delicious choices, and the spa was absolutely stunning—a perfect place to unwind. The expansive outdoor pool with a poolside restaurant and DJ created a lively yet sophisticated atmosphere. One of the highlights was having access to the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course—a golfer’s dream! The course was well-manicured and impeccably managed, making for an unforgettable experience. Overall, The Santa Maria Hotel is truly a gem in Panama City. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely return! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway.

Top notch in every way. Lovely greeting at check in, room was big and clean. Pool was huge with fun games and floats and great service with people checking in to take drink or food orders, throw a frisbee or offer free ice cream by the pool! The tall ceilings and wide hallways made the place feel super grand. The breakfast buffet was huge with plenty of options and omelette station. The fish tacos at their restaurant for lunch were the best I’ve had. Overall a fantastic stay for just one night! Would definitely return and recommend for anyone seeking a classy, friendly resort in Panama.

The room was very nice and comfortable it was good, the bathroom was big and spacious and have everything you need for a stay ❤️ loved it,the pool was okay and I love the 24 hour pool and also the gym was nice.

Very clean and very quiet. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Close to El Carmen metro station with access to Casco Viejo and to the airport. Breakfast was very good... lots of choice and bottomless coffee! The swimming pool was a great boon, exercised in lap pool every day. Close to main walking and jogging path along water. Close to Foodie Grocery store. Drinking water provided in room was appreciated along with the mini fridge.

"I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel, and it was an exceptional experience! The round-the-clock pool and spa, even open on Sundays, added a touch of luxury to my weekend getaway. The breakfast options were diverse and delicious, catering to various tastes with Chinese, American, and Mexican choices. What truly stood out was the staff's kindness and warmth – they made me feel right at home. And, let's not forget about the incredibly comfy pillows! I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay."

Perfect place to stay in the center of Panama City. Comfortable hotel, nice pool and great rooms! The restaurant is great as well!

The staff was excellent from the time we entered the hotel until the time we exited. All staff were friendly, accommodating, and kind. The room was clean and room service was prompt. Airport shuttle service was provided and the driver was prompt and kind. When checking in, we were greeted with a smile and kind word from all staff in the lobby and I found Juan who checked us in to be very professional, friendly, and accommodating. Regarding food, it was top notch. We only stayed one night but had a wonderful dinner and breakfast. The waiter was fantastic and had a lot of patience as I practiced speaking Spanish. He was very kind and allowed my hubby to take a photo of him and I which I appreciated. We will stay again in January and hope to see this waiter again to display my improvement in speaking the language. We had a wonderful experience staying at Bristol Panama! I am very particular about what hotels I choose and this one is at the top of my list.

You can tell that the property owners put their heart and soul into these facilities. The room was very intentionally styled down to every little detail and a very fun vibe! The property and gardens were beautiful and extremely well kept and the room was very clean. The property owner went out of their way to accommodate us with a late arrival and was very kind. I didn’t use the pool but they looked lovely. We also had a sweet neighbourhood kitty visit us which I loved.

A hidden gem. Very clean and everything was of high quality…sheets, decor and even the toilet paper!😂🤷‍♀️. Owners were very gracious and welcoming. The price can’t be beat plus they included an incredible breakfast of coffee, juice, scrambled eggs, toast with real butter, jam, cheese, sliced tropical fruit and to top it off chocolate cake! This place has ticked off everything you could ask for including a nice pool and hot tub to relax by. We will definitely be back! Such amazing hospitality!

It’s at a really nice spot, behind the main building and with lush gardens and an amazing pool area. So very closed off from any noise or neighbors, at a residential area near to the main highway. The decor is quirky and artsy in a fun way. The owners are very warm and hospitable and also helped us by ordering us a decent priced taxi for the next leg of our journey.

A real gem along the Pan Am Highway. Huge room - I didn't even use the living room area, huge patio with chairs and table, very clean, great view of the gardens and mountains in back. A short walk down the hill is a wonderful pool and jacuzzi. Gated parking and was able to park my motorcycle right outside the door. A few restaurants and grocery stores in town - about a mile.

This is an absolutely super place. There are six chalets rooms set in a garden around a swimming pool and jacuzzi. The rooms are very well sized with Aircon and fridge and very nicely decorated. The bathroom area is excellent. The whole place is exceptional. Breakfast was probably one of the best we have had in the last four months. No issues with parking. Cannot rate this place high enough.

From the moment we arrived, the check-in was quick and welcoming. The hotel is spotless and well-kept, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Special thanks to Carlos at the front desk, who not only made sure we had everything we needed but also gave us great tips on where to eat and what to do in the city. Our room was spacious and very clean, perfect to come back to after a day of exploring. We also enjoyed the pool area, which had nice city views and was great for relaxing in the afternoons. Breakfast was included every morning and had a good variety of options. We also ate at the hotel restaurant a couple of times and were pleasantly surprised—good food at fair prices. The restaurant staff really stood out for their excellent service and the way they looked after guests. The location is another big plus. It’s close to everything you’d want to see but not right in the middle of the crowded areas. A short 3–5 minute walk takes you to Multiplaza Mall with plenty of shops, restaurants, and even a supermarket. Getting around was easy and affordable with Uber, and there are also some nice local dining spots nearby. Overall, we had a great stay and are already planning to return to Panama—not just for the culture, but also for the warmth and hospitality of its people. Highly recommended!

We spent 3 nights here and enjoyed our stay. The location is great for tourists who want to experience local restaurants. Carpe Diem was our favorite food place. The rooftop restaurant in the building has stunning views and great happy hour. The hotel is new, rooms are spacious and breakfast was delicious. We had to wait 3h to check in since we arrived early but the desk rep gave us good tips to walk around and offered to keep our bags while we're waiting. Check in and out was easy. Lobby has a few sitting areas and can get crowded but the reception folks are very friendly and helpful, the most friendly and helpful we've experienced in our entire week in Panama. We haven't used room service since we were out of the hotel playing tourists most of the time. The pool is small and there is no hot tub (website says there is). The restaurant in the hotel is not the best, you're better off walking to the little restaurants behind the hotel for better service and food or coffee. Or use Uber to go anywhere else, it's really affordable. This is not a high end hotel but very nice, safe and clean. Overall, highly recommended.

We arrived very early for 1st check in. Check in stuff Josais told us he will try to get us a room by noon. We went to neighborhood for breakfast come back room keys is ready for us.

They provide free breakfast, wit self make hot boil egg is a good sufficient of choices. Happy with Lora of restaurants around some open till 12am we have 1 breakfast , 2 dinner and I supper within 5 mins walk. The spa is nice free 30min daily sauna , pool side and gym small but good enough. Is not the central location for attraction but not far either uber is affordable just 15 mins drive to old town , 25-30 to casuway Amador.

The best experience and hotel in a very long time of my travels around different countries. Everything is perfect: check-in, the staff helps at every step, pays attention to details, the hotel creates comfort and coziness at every step, you don't think about anything. The room is amazing, not small, clean, no noise, a beautiful view of the city, the space is well thought out. There is mouthwash in the bathroom. Room service is perfect, the restaurant is delicious, especially the chicken soup and octopus. Breakfast is everything you need and there is nothing superfluous, no excess food. It is located 6 minutes walk from the shopping center and 15 minutes drive from the international airport. We did not use the pool, as we had transit flights and we stayed at the hotel only for shopping.

Ramadan Plaza arranged our pickup from the airport which was exceptional. Our Taxi driver Dennis was very polite and courteous. He was there holding a sign with our name, when we arrived at the hotel we met Carlos another amazing employee of the hotel. He assisted by suggesting and arranging a wonderful tour of San Blast Island and the Natural pool. Room was supper clean with clean service every day. Housekeepers and Breakfast staff was amazing. The location was ideal. Walking distance to Multi Plaza Mall and 15-20 minutes to the coolest mall i have ever visited once no traffic. I will most definitely travel to Panama and stay at the Ramada Plaza.

I liked that the pool was rooftop and more private than at other hotels where the gym or restaurant overlooks the pool and there’s no privacy.

Good situation 200 m from the metro Iglesia del carmen in a relatively safe area. Some minisupermarkets around. All personal friendly and polite. Huge hotel with 2 lifts. Large room with comfortable bed. Large bathroom. Good view from large windows. Fridge. TV. Wi-Fi strong. Lots of lights. Daily room cleaning. Buffet breakfast very good with lots of things. The breakfast area is pleasant. Rooftop with a swimming pool and room for weight or exercise training . Good value for money. This is one of the cheapest 5 or 4 stars in the area. The pictures on Booking.com reflect well this hotel.

We had a great stay. The rooms are very big, high quality, well functioning. We had a room with small kitchen and we used that. Also nice coffee in the room. There is a super gym and beautiful roof top with pool. The ladies in the reception are outstanding. They are so kind, attentive and helpful. They helped us arrange a dental appointment, gave us very valuable travel advice and tour ideas. We were very grateful for that. Our stay in Panama City was outstanding and Gran Evenia was a superb base for that. We will come back.

We appreciate how close the hotel is to a metro station; 5 minute walk past some cute shops and restaurants. We had a business suite and it was fabulous. The rooftop pool is a true luxury that I enjoy very much. There’s lots of lounge chairs for sunning in between dips in the clean water. We had a light dinner in the restaurant where the food was excellent. The breakfast includes everything that you could want; sweet and savoury. The staff are professional and friendly.

the room was spacious with a small fridge that nicely held some cold beverages that we picked up at a nearby shop. The rooftop pool was outstanding! The water is clean, warm and even lit up at night. The breakfast was fabulous with a wide range to both hot and cold items. There is an outdoor patio area and an indoor air conditioned seating area to have breakfast. the staff were all helpful and friendly! thank you!!

I stayed in the old building and it was very lovely. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with whatever question I had and upgraded my room when I arrived. The room is quite large with the balcony, but quiet even though it faced the street. There’s no pool on the property, but we had no issue with that because we were there for a wedding and we’re not planning on hanging around the pool during our stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this place. The staff was incredibly attentive and polite. I highly recommend this property. It’s a bit small, though, and there’s no gym or swimming pool. But there’s a great restaurant on-site and a rooftop terrace with a nice view.

I can’t recommend this hotel enough for anyone wanting to be centrally located. From the moment I checked in the staff were superb, being super friendly and welcoming at all times as well as engaging in good conversation and offering recommendations. The lobby is a nice space to relax in and escape the heat, with comfortable seating and some reading material on the country. There’s a small bar and also a great courtyard space outside with some cosy sofas. My room was on the first floor but had a brilliant balcony overlooking the street below. While not large enough to spend time sitting on, it gave a really nice perspective and made you feel like you were living as a local! The room itself was really spacious and modern. There were electric sockets next to both sides of the bed, plenty of storage, a decent sized TV with Netflix option, Nespresso machine, great lighting options and really effective air-conditioning. The mini bar was empty but otherwise it was a very comfortable space with huge bed. The bathroom continued the modern feel with everything spotlessly clean. The walk-in shower was huge and a delight to use with the toiletries and towels wonderful. There was a decent robe and slippers provided too. Next time I’m in the city and wanting to stay right in the heart of the Casco Viejo district I’ll be picking here and it’s highly recommended by me.

This newly renovated hotel is in the Lyon’s building, circa 1878. Originally constructed around an interior courtyard, the restoration preserves the origional French colonial architecture. Rooms are modern and tasteful. Overall, the restoration is first rate. The building across the street contains additional rooms, restaurant and rooftop bar/lounge with stunning views of Casco Viejo. The hotel is conveniently located in Casco Viejo and all points of interest in the old city are easily walkable. Many restaurants, bars, shops, and other luxury hotels are in the neighborhood. Streets are safe night and day. I would caution walking past Calle 10 at night towards the Santa Anna neighborhood - which is an impoverished slum. Walking through Santa Anna during the day seems safe. The nearest metro station is “Paza cinco de mayo” about a 20 minute walk from the hotel. It will require you however to walk through Santa Anna. My suggestions to improve the guest experience at the hotel are: 1. Ensure coffee pods and water are refreshed each day in the rooms 2. Ensure all towels are replaced Nevertheless, staff are helpful and charming. Definitely recommend the property.

We stayed at Hotel San Felipe for four nights and had a fantastic experience overall. The room was spacious, clean, and neatly maintained throughout the stay. I especially loved the balcony — it was the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The bathroom was also spotless, featuring a large shower with consistently hot water and great water pressure. The bed was big and extremely comfortable, and the air conditioning kept the room nice and cool. The staff and cleaners were all very friendly and welcoming, which really added to the warm atmosphere of the place. Another highlight was the restaurant across the road, which is part of the hotel. It has a great rooftop area that we enjoyed in the evenings. The location is ideal — just a short walk to all the main restaurants and bars in Casco Viejo. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking to stay in the heart of the action with comfort and great service.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel. The infinity pool and jacuzzi overlooking the trees and river with a view of the volcan Baru are spectacular. We had the river suite and highly recommend it; it's right by the pool and river. The staff are so nice and friendly, and Marcelo makes an awesome mojito! Breakfast is a nice plus, with a beautiful view of the rainforest. We had a magical stay!

Loved the infinity pool and hot tub and tropical feel if the resort. Best hotel I visited in Panama. Breakfast was great with mimosas. Did not like mattress wuality o the smaller beds. Sore back in the morning. Queen bed was fine. Did not like temperature of infinity pool could not go on needs heater.

A great room with facilities. Very nice breakfast with a wide assortment of products. A good pool and hottub with poolside drinks.

This is a fab hotel in a stunning area just outside Boquete. We stayed two nights in the family room and a further two nights in side-by-side triple rooms. The former was just perfect for a family of 4 and the kids loved their bed space up a narrow spiral staircase. It was so special to watch the many hummingbirds and other beautiful birds that are regular visitors to the stunning garden setting of the inn. The pool and jacuzzi are lovely after days our adventuring. We also loved the breakfast here. It’s low key, but served with a smile from the lovely staff team and includes lots of delicious fresh fruit, cooked items, smoked salmon and bagels and more! You can help also yourself to some fizz or a Bloody Mary too! And all with that stunning view! Just perfect! We would also like to add that the staff team were super friendly and helpful. It’s easy to get into Boquete using local taxis (although when we were staying, the bridge on the fast route into town was being repaired so the journey took a bit longer), and we also found Palo Alto was en route to many of the attractions, so tour companies were happy to pick us up there rather than in town. We highly recommend this place!

I loved the bed and pillows!! Best sleep ever! The exercise equipment in the gym was great. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The cleanliness of my room and the hotel were excellent. My only wish is that the hotel had a swimming pool.

Clean, easy access. Which it would have a pool.

This was a very nice property and the breakfast was wonderful, although they need to get a better waffle iron. The one they have works on time and not heat. The waffles come out to crispy because they have the time set too long. And of course, the client doesn't know that until they've used it. I know the one I have at home works on the temperature of the dough and not time. Oh, and they didn't keep it clean, very scrungy with lots of baked on bits that made it impossible to get waffles out even if you sprayed with cooking spray. Other than that, a wonderful experience and they could replace the waffle maker for about $50 and get a heat activated one. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I would stay again.

Me hospedé por 3 noches en el hotel y debo decir que mi estadía fue muy placentera, los cuartos son espaciosos y las camas muy cómodas, se me olvidó preguntar que marca eran las almohadas de la cama por que era muy confortables. El personal del hotel tanto en recepción, restaurante y limpieza fueron muy amables y atentos en todo momento. Durante las noches que estuvimos hubo un concierto en el casino de al lado, el hotel nos avisó para que estuviéramos anuentes a la situación, lo cual agradezco mucho. Esta bien ubicado tiene supermercados cerca y muchos restaurantes en la zona. Volvería a hospedarme en este hotel.

Great staff was always helpful, kind, smiling. The room was clean and perfect. The location is excellent. Restaurants, shopping, grocery stores are right there. Two hospitals half a mile away. Everything within walking distance or a $3 taxi ride. If I have to say what I don’t like is the doorless shower. Water gets all over the bathroom floor.😏 If I could ask for one change, it would be to offer one or two english speaking movie channels. At least one would be nice. 😊 Neither are deal breakers. I look forward to staying again.🤗
