Top Santa Clara Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Playa Blanca - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Muy buen trato y atención. Los pisos de lias duchas muy resbalosos"

Casa Caracol Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were terribly disappointed with communications with the property. The internet site says that a door code is sent 24 hours before checkin but on the morning of our arrival we still had not received a code. We tried for 3 hours whatsapp and calling direct but no repsonse. As we were looking at a 2.5 hour bus trip from Panama city to the hotel we were anxious to make contact and get a code. As we had booked thru Expedia we turned to them and they also were unable to contact the hotel from 8:00 till 11:00. So by 11:00 we were completly frustrated and as we were writing a letter to cancel and them book elsewhere the hotel finally responded. Very frustating for 70 year old travellers to be unable to commuicate with a hotel during normal business hours."

Apartamento en Playa Blanca Town Center

10/10 Excellent

"Best stay"

Hotel Las Catalinas Antón

8/10 Good

"Great Location and helpful staff."

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

Acuarela Hostal - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay. The staff is exceptionally kind, and creates a wonderful environment."
