A wide range of B&Bs and hostels are also available in most parts of the country.

Great place to experience unexplored part of Panama with two wonderful hosts, who are extremely knowledgeable of Panama’s beautiful nature! Great chance to see turtles laying eggs, hatching of the eggs and experiencing the new born turtles to go into the sea. And on top of it, our host Cees was a great guide taking us around! And Loes who was a great host and guide! Thank you sincerely!

I keep coming back to this hotel. I love the friendliness of the staff coming back there, you get a warm welcome hug and some of the staff knows you by name (of course I was talking to them at my first stay). The garden is an oasis, the team does everything to make you feel good and relaxed. Even when travelling for work, it feels like a little vacation. The renovation of the house is done perfectly. One can feel that the owner put a lot of heart into the details. Bravo Chris, well done! As. breakfast recommendation: one of the best shakshukas I have ever had!
