We had a wonderful stay at Rancho Estero with our family. Even though by European standards, facilities are not perfect, and there would be place for some minor reparations, especially in the bathroom and shared kitchen, the authentic setting, the warm hosting from Eli, and the proximity of the beach made our stay at Rancho Estero one of the best experiences throughout our Panama trip. But above all, are the surfing lessons with Zigor. Big thank you! We really loved every minute spent on the board (and near, and beaneath it :)), and feel we have advanced a lot in surfing. The kids still say that surfing with you was by far their best experience in Panama. Hope to come back some time.

The stay in Coiba house was incredible! To keep it short: the location is really perfect and clean, the host is super nice and helpful and the entire stay was just an experience. I wasn't looking forward to a shared bathroom, but it wasn't a problem at all: nice and clean. Location and Accomodation: 5/5⭐ Hospitality and Helpfulness: 6/5⭐ Shady-ness: 0/5⭐

The camp exceeded our expectations by far. Everything was very convenient, clean, beautiful and special. You can pay three dollars for a safe parking spot if you do not want to cross the river by car or just leave it for free at the side of the road. During the dry season, the river is not deep and you can easily carry your luggage over. There is a cosy bar and a great restaurant (food was delicious). Rooms were cleaned daily what we appreciated very much. You can also have dinner in town. We walked there twice as 20minutes are the perfect time to digest your meal ;-). The receptionist provided helpful information and was very kind, also all the other staff at the restaurant and bar. Sunrise and sunset were amazing to watch from the beach and it is totally safe to swim there. We did a snorkeling tour and scuba diving and swam with whale sharks, mantas, white tip riff sharks and turtles. Amazing!

I got a free upgrade to the Upper Level Suite. The view was absolutely amazing! The king bed was super comfortable, the room was clean, and the location was perfect for relaxing. The rooms are simple, but very clean and have everything you need. I had a great stay and would definitely come back.

We loved the remote location in paradise. Our hosts made us feel at home. Delicious meals and a selection of beverages. Booking was easy and all of our questions were answered. Day trips can be arranged and are well worth it. Staff are kind and polite. There was no shortage of things to do and explore.

Location was amazing being right on the beach. Main area had lots of sitting areas to relax and find shade. Atmosphere and decor was relaxing and inviting. Great having a pool when you didn’t feel like going in the ocean. Beach was beautiful and long enough for a good walk.

The location is to die for. Right on the beach, you can hear the waves crashing and the breeze blowing as you're falling asleep. It was kind of funny because you have to cross a little "river" or inlet on foot to get there, and depending on the tide it can be a bit of water to wade through (roller bags not recommended!) but it just added to the sense of adventure and seclusion. It was very easy to book a day trip to Coiba Island via reception, as well as sign up for surf lessons.
