No refrigerator and you have to rent a cooler if you wanted to keep things cool. With kitchen only open one day we had to drive into town for each meal.

Loved The boutique style local feel

I like that it is right at the beach front! It has privacy and the common areas are equipped with games and things to do. The kitchen and bar is a tremendous plus

Other than the fact that they don’t really have parking slots, everything else was great. Beachfront property, with comfortable rooms and beds.

Very nice hotel, directly on the beach. Cool vibe with a small pub/restaurant in the entrance, including relaxing music and ping-pong table. My room was advertised as having sea view but I could barely see the ocean. The bedroom and bathroom were great, but there was no hot water in the shower. Very helpful staff when I checked in, but couldn’t find anyone when I wanted to check out.

We had no hot water.

Beautiful location. Very thoughtful details and friendly people. Most restaurants are drive away but the small Chinese place that’s walkable was solid and cheap. Breakfast is decent, could benefit from a few more choices.

A Truly Magical Getaway! If you're looking for the perfect place to enjoy breathtaking sunrises, mesmerizing sunsets, refreshing swims, and peaceful walks along the beach this is it! Delicious, homemade-style food bursting with authentic flavours! Incredibly friendly staff who welcome you with the biggest smiles every single day something you won’t even find at a Ritz Carlton! That personal touch makes all the difference. A warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. A huge THANK YOU to the amazing team at San Carlos, especially Rosmery, Carolina, and Yose, you guys made our stay unforgettable! Highly, highly recommended!

We would recommend this little gem. In a lovely quiet area right on the beach. We were made to feel both comfortable and welcome. If you want a place to relax in beautiful surroundings then this is the place. No TV, quiet times between 10pm and 7am, a real oasis.

Wonderful place, we had a great time there. The hotel is comfortable and very well located, staff is friendly and always ready to help. We’d definitely come back there.

The location is beachfront, which is nice, but you need to cross a river if you want to get to El Palmer beach for the big waves. About knee deep in low tide but required swimming in high tide. Not a big deal for our family but may be an issue for those who are not strong swimmers or with small children. Would recommend bringing a “dry bag” for towels etc in case you need to cross during high tide. Not specific to the resort: San Carlos town shuts down very early so if you are wanting to eat after 8:00 PM, I would recommend renting a car so you have flexibility to go elsewhere. Uber is extremely limited but there are taxis.

The resort was very clean and modern. The triple room was a great size for 4 people. Foosball, ping pong, hammocks were all great for down time. The restaurant was not always open but when it was, the food was excellent. The owners were very attentive to questions prior to and during our stay and helped arrange transportation for us. The pancakes, eggs and fruit were great for breakfast. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Restaurant is not open every day for dinner, but there are a couple of decent places within walking distance.

Rooms are large and clean. Friendly staff. Nice beach bar. Great location for beach and surfing.

No TV in the room. No hot water (we understand since Panama does not usually have hot water.

Location was ok

All good. They could be a little more generous with the late check-out. They finally let us stay in one of our rooms up to 11.30. But when we finally came back to the hotel from the beach at 2 pm, still none of our rooms has been touched. Therefore they could have easily allowed us to stay until 2 pm, but any way it's a great stay.

It's a beautiful beach place, very down to earth and truly original Panama. It's actually a great place for families to stay at a very nice beach. If you want to go to the big beach in San Carlos it's only a few minutes, but also the beach front of the hotel is really nice and very peaceful.

The location is not great. After 9pm there is nothing open. Fortunately we had a car so we had options.

The facilities

Stayed in August 2024

I didn't like the inflexibility of a late check out, not even leaving the room empty, we could use the restaurant, common areas, or the front beach. We were guests all in all. For that reason I didn't feel well treated or welcome.

I liked the space and the closeness to the beach. The people working there were very nice and understanding.

The premise is absolutely wonderful. Nice little cozy place, with ping pong table, babyfoot, a little bar/restaurant (which btw, the shrimp tacos were AMAZING). It was a relaxing stay for us, perfect to kick off the vacation. The room as big, clean and the bed really comfortable. Thanks again 💫

- air conditioning in our room was giving issues, but it’s something that can be fixed with proper maintenance

- close to the city - quiet and comfortable

nothing, all was as expected, nice place and service

very nice set up at the hotel, rooms are comfortable and clean, nice view and close to the beach, the resort is lacking parking facilities but outside there is space to park if there is space available

The owners and staff were great and I felt very well looked after

The A/C in the room couldn't keep up. It was hot all night. The beach was more mud than sand. You have to cross a muddy flat to actually get to the beach and ocean part.

The room was nice and modern and the beds were comfortable. The area of the hotel had some nice amenities like a ping pong table and beach chairs.

Nothing.... It was a great experience.

The lady in charge helped with the bags, and sut us up with everything we needed. The bar tender took the reins and helped further. All Good!
