Top Playa El Palmar Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Playa Blanca - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Super vacciones"

Gran Evenia Bijao - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for families, close proximity to the beach, vast variety of food, helpful and polite staff."

Radisson Riviera Panama

8/10 Good

"It was next to the beach which was important for me with a balcony overlooking the pool and the sea. The breakfast was buffet style with lots of options to choose from and the staff friendly and helpful. It’s a nice place for a getaway and sleep to the sea waves sounds at night."

Casa Caracol Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great beach location, awesome views"

San Carlos Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and beds were comfortable. It was a 15 minute walk to the beach and next to local corner stores and restaurants. The owner was nice and showed us around when we came in. It was also around a 20 minute walk from the bus stop so there's no need for a car to move around. Theres a rooftop bbq area with hammocks and table top games that anyone staying can use. There's friendly cats on the property so that's a plus too. The shower was a hassle to use, the shower head sprayed everywhere other than me and to use the hot water I had to keep my finger on a hose coming out of the heater. In the middle of the night another person staying came over banging at the door and swearing over tv noise not letting her sleep, even though the volume was at 10%, so noise travels easily between rooms."

Hotel Eclipse

8/10 Good

"Yummy food, great hosts and very flexible!"

Twin room in Coronado Luxury Club & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente. Todo super bien. Recomendado. Comida instalaciones."

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."

Villa Botero By Casa Mojito B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Christophe and his family were amazing hosts. The breakfast was incredible and fit for a king. The grounds, room and pool were decorated beautifully and very well maintained. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend this place."
