San Carlos Hotel Guide - Playa La Ensenada hotels in San Carlos, Panama.

"Fabulous property in a fabulous area to visit in Panama. Easy 10 minute walk to some really good restaurants at a shop or an easy Uber ride to the town with more restaurants and food shopping. We were told Uber didn’t work there. That’s not true. It did for the local trips. You just have to be careful if you take it outside of certain Panama provinces. "

"My 3 night stay was not a pleasant one. There were issues with the AC right from the start, it was 37C. Although I tried several times using WhatsApp number they provided and emails to have it repaired it was not. They didn't allow me to move to a different room that wasn't used when I was there. Frustrating part was the new owners didn't respond till 4 hrs later, when did they text "sorry", but the AC was not repaired. These are new owners from the US, not like the previous owners. The rooms need some sprucing up and the lounge chairs are it tough condition. "

"Anne Marie and Rene are the perfect hosts! They share their home in a warm way - including poolside relaxation, wonderful breakfast, and recommendations on what to do/see during your visit. Our room (ensuite bath) was spacious and comfortable. Beautiful Playa Coronado is 1km (.6 mile) walk. I highly recommend staying at El Litoral if you will visit Coronado."

"Horrible customer service, tried calling to cancel as our flights to Panama were cancelled and they had no number to call, the number given was a house number. Expedia tried calling and no answer in the end we lost out on our money, we lost out on the hotel. "

"Nice pool . Yes , the room had ocean view ."

"Had to clean everything from the counters, air conditioner, handles, microwave, etc. Like a film on everything. Would be nice to have more storage. Dont forget to water the plants."

"This is a little piece of paradise. Great house. Great host. Perfect in every way! Can't wait to bring the entire family for Christmas 2026. "

"The staff were lovely. The hot water was"

"Night 1 - no coat hangers in room, also no towels, soap, key for safe, No coffee available unless one had breakfast, lunch or dinner. If no guests were eating there that day, then no coffee was available at all."
