Top El Centro Beach Hotel Reviews

Boardwalk Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room is pretty trashy, toilet is barley attached to the wall, and lots of holes and water damage, but cool staff and Steven makes the best Pina coladas. Probably would visit just for him"

Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a really nice little place. We only stayed one night because our original hotel couldn’t accommodate us for an extra night. But, I think this will be where I stay the next time. Nice little kitchen and bathroom. The room was pretty big. The pillows suck but everything else was good."

The Palm & Tide Beachfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stay in Panama a bunch the staff was so accommodating to us we came a day early they got us a room and we stayed a extra day and they let us keep the same room and was so kind just small things to help a vacation would be a place to hang towels and wash clothes in the shower and somewhere to put shampoo and body wash"
