Top Hotels Near Panamá Beach in from AU$82

"This resort sits on top of a hill overlooking Papagayo Bay, so be aware: there are a lot of stairs. If you have mobility issues, this place isn’t for you. The staff do offer a shuttle but you’ll still need to manage a lot of steps. Premium level have their own golf carts. But if you want a quiet, adults-only resort with great staff, good food, and comfy rooms with amazing AC, this is it. They have a good variety of food options. Lots of tropical fruits. If you want to hear and see the howling monkeys, have breakfast early at the snack bar/restaurant by the big pool. The resort is a beautiful garden, lots of flowers and mango trees loaded with fruits! Lots of wildlife too! Pros: Friendly, attentive staff Good food with nice variety something for everybody. Comfortable rooms with strong AC — a lifesaver after a hot day Have chicken wings (it’s the best!) and nachos at the snack bar/restaurant. The Grille and Mediterranean restaurants were great, but The Oriental was forgettable. Massages offered at the beach by local masseuses. Cons; Hilly, lots of steps and stairs. No elevators Peaceful, not a party place. Not a dressy place. Amenities were great. Try their Papagayo Special drink, it’s so refreshing! Rooms were clean tho a bit dated. Tours offered at the lobby. Check-in was just a bit slow. Highly recommend for relaxation and Pura Vida.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Overall, I had a really good time. The food was actually very good compared to some of the reviews that I saw that mentioned it was mediocre. The transportation staff were top-tier and their driving abilities are unmatched. The only thing is that I did call and asked for the in room snacks to be stocked, but that was never done during my time."

"The front desk staff was rude. There was a roach in my room. The pools were green"

"Our room didn’t have a bedside table or light and you had to park away from our room. The picture they show is for another resort that you can eat at, but not use the pool. "

"Upon entering, it is somewhat clean, but you noticed the extreme rundown check in area, poolside dirty, broken items sitting along edge. Circus rides that look like they need to be torn down! Building & pool need new paint. The food was absolutely terrible. Hot dogs that look from the day before, ground soupy beef ..not sure. We ended up eating elsewhere rest of the trip. The “shuttles” were small pickup trucks that would come every 15 minutes go up and down around the resort…a joke. Pictures are nothing close to what you’re getting & paying for."

"The property was very nice. Spa was great. Villa was amazing. Restaurants need help. Service is very slow and you have to get up from table to ask for things. Didn’t like that the pool Bar/Restaurant closed so early. Pools are also way too warm. "

"We stayed four days in April 2026. The property is wonderful, with an extensive beach, great pool and wonderful staff. The restaurant is very good, lots of variety and lots of food. Breakfast was wonderful with fresh fruit and a good menu. Our room was clean and the Air Conditioning was good. The hounds are extensive, trees, shrubs and Howler monkey in the trees. Would stay there again. "

"It was a million dollar view and the pool was enjoyed by our entire family from 9 years old to 73 years old. Armando was very personable, and helped us with suggestions on everything in the area from beaches to restaurants."

"This was the perfect spot for our family. The views were incredible, the beds were comfortable, and the space was perfect for spending time indoors and out. The kids loved spotting animals and birds and playing in the pool. The resort pools and restaurant were great and the beach a perfect for relaxing and playing. Each day ended with a perfect sunset over the water!"
