Casa Swell Coronado

Casa Swell Coronado

10/10 Excellent
"I just cant say enough good things about Casa Swell. Our room were clean and comfy and had everything we needed in it. The grounds were well kept and tropical and fun. The location was perfect, close to restaurants and shopping. The outdoor recreation area was cool too. I liked the outdoor kitchen and seating. We didn't use the pool but sitting by it and eating breakfast that the host prepared for us was wonderful and delicious. We will definitely book here again! It was unique and very comfortable. We didn't want to leave:)"

Hotel La Compania Del Valle

10/10 Excellent
"An Extraordinary Escape — Even More Magical Than We Imagined! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After staying at Hotel La Compañía in Casco Viejo, I genuinely didn't believe the experience could possibly get any better. Well, I was wrong. La Compañía del Valle took everything to an entirely new level! We arrived in El Valle de Antón after experiencing the frightening earthquake in Panama City. Unaccustomed to earthquakes, we were understandably shaken and desperately needed somewhere to unwind, feel comfortable, and regain our peace of mind. What we discovered was nothing short of extraordinary. There is something almost indescribable about this property. The beauty, the tranquility, the atmosphere, the energy… everything comes together to create a truly magical experience. It is a sanctuary of relaxation, elegance, and absolute pampering. The staff were exceptional, making us feel genuinely cared for from the moment we arrived. Somehow, they transformed what had been a frightening experience into one of our most beautiful and memorable escapes. Words and photographs simply cannot capture the essence of this place. You have to experience it to understand it. We left feeling so relaxed, reassured, and rejuvenated that we wanted it to continue so we had to return to La compañía in Casco Viejo! La Compañía has mastered something truly special: not just luxury hospitality, but the art of making people feel wonderful. Absolutely unforgettable! ❤️"

"the property is gorgeous and the rooms are comfortable and nice. Don't expect a tv in your room, or a refrigerator. It is more like a very nice bed and breakfast. the restaurant was very nice and moderately priced and breakfast, which is included, was also very good. It is about a 10 minute drive to the little main area of the Valle but not bad. The pool was nice enough, but small. The staff is very friendly and helpful."

"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."
