Top Playa El Palmar Hotel Reviews

Gran Evenia Bijao - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"La comida puede mejorar"

Casa Swell Coronado

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous place and great hosts. We had a terrific stay and only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back."

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."

"Exceeded expectations"

Apartment in Coronado: Just steps from the beach, restaurants, cafes, and bars

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!"

Hotel Coronado Inn

8/10 Good

"Staff were very welcoming and helpful! Room was basic, but adequate for a one night stay and A/C worked great. Many restaurants and shops in close proximity to the property. Was a nice touch to see towel swans on our bed upon arrival!"

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!"
