Numerous national parks make it easy to find your perfect hike, with the mountain town of Boquete featuring the famous Quetzal Trail. There are dozens of other activities to take the adventure level up a notch, including scuba diving with sharks, horseback riding or rock climbing in the highlands. After a tiresome day, you can let off some steam at the hot springs around the Baru Volcano. You’ll find hordes of high-class hotels in glitzy Panama City, with rustic lodges and villas hidden away in the highlands. A wide range of B&Bs and hostels are also available in most parts of the country.

Situated in Boca Chica, 2.6 km from Playa Arena Bonita, Villas at Gone Fishing Panamá Resort features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.
Guest review
Beautiful location just above the beach with panoramic views of the islands in the Boca Chica bay. Super engaged and friendly owner Brad who was ready to support with every request. He put in considerable effort to charter a boat and get other guests interested for a special snorkeling tour to Islas Secas which I highly appreciated.
I loved the spacious bungalow on the garden edge with a nice terrace overlooking the sea and garden.
For wildlife enthusiasts the garden and surroundings are filled with visiting wildlife including monkeys and lots of bird species.
Plenty of nice restaurants both on walking distance or alternatively a short drive to the village.

Guest review
I keep coming back to this hotel. I love the friendliness of the staff coming back there, you get a warm welcome hug and some of the staff knows you by name (of course I was talking to them at my first stay). The garden is an oasis, the team does everything to make you feel good and relaxed. Even when travelling for work, it feels like a little vacation. The renovation of the house is done perfectly. One can feel that the owner put a lot of heart into the details. Bravo Chris, well done! As. breakfast recommendation: one of the best shakshukas I have ever had!

Casa Morada in Antón has 4-star accommodation with a garden. The hotel also features free WiFi and free private parking.
Guest review
Casa Morada is a beautiful place to spend your holiday! The house is beautifully built and decorated (it's a pretty new build and well thought through) and it's close to town but still quiet. Bret was absolutely lovely and helped us with everything we needed and is just in general a really great host! The rooms were very clean and nice and the terrace is wonderful to relax and eat your meals. While it doesn't have a kitchen, Bret helped us out with cuttlery so we could still make our own breakfast and there's a microwave and fridge in the rooms. And, loveliest part is Noah, Bret's dog who likes to come and say hello whenever you're around. Thanks so much for a great stay!
