Casa Swell was perfect for Rita and I. The location was a quick 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to restaurants and all the other extras you could want. It was clean and the vibe there was friendly and engaging. The part that really sold it the most was the hosts. They are very attentive and have suggestions to help you meet any particular needs you may have. We also really lucked out with having some amazing other guests that we got to know while we were there.

The main thing to know is the directions for check-in provided upon booking are completely wrong and will have you running around in circles and dealing with very confused security which will direct you to a welcome center which is under construction. Use the check-in desk at the Radisson Hotel that's in the same development about a kilometer past the security guard gate. The entire massive 7-mile development is owned/managed by the same company. Once finding out about that it's smooth sailing,...

El Litoral is a quiet corner of paradise up the coast from Panama City. The house is a few blocks from the beach which was deserted at noon on a Friday in late August. The neighborhood is accessed through a security check point and feels quite safe. Rene and Anne Marie are exceptional hosts in their private home where they live year round. They have given every attention to details large and small.

My family enjoyed a wonderful visit. While checking in we made plans for the entire holiday. This allowed us to see not only Panama City, but also to visit beaches and other historical sites. The hotel restaurants were excellent with great service. The hotel facilities, including the pool and gym, were new and spotless. We look forward to future visits!

It’s a spectacular mountain top setting. Quiet, beautiful modern rooms, great pool, long steep walk to beach but worth it when you get there. Staff goes out of the way to be helpful. Came to find us in jeep on climb up from beach. A welcome kindness.

My husband & I stayed 3 nights at this lovely hotel in the heart of Casco Viejo, Panama. We loved the place. Staff is super helpful and kind. LOCATION LOCATION. Main Plaza and Cathedral are located one block away. Main places to visit, plazas, great rooftops, and great restaurants are at walking distance. When back to Panama will definitely go back to this hotel.

We arrived early from the David airport around 10am and we were just going to drop off our bags and they not only held our bags without question but then also took the time to make sure we had our room early if one was available! (Which there was!)-just be aware during their peak season it may not happen we were just lucky in the off season! The staff is SUPER friendly! The door men were super awesome and were always happy to help us! There will be an umbrella for you to get to your car if it’s...

The property is in a great location to be able to walk surrounding areas. The staff was great in assisting and the room was very clean and quiet. Great place to stay

Staff was very nice, specially, Barbara at recepcion and Alanis, at the bar.
Although, hotel areas and bedroom were clean, the bathtub walls presented mold, otherwise highly recommended.
