Hostal Villa Mayte Coronado, hotel in San Carlos

Hostal Villa Mayte Coronado is offering accommodations in Las Lajas. Housed in a building dating back to 1980, this guest house is a 5-minute walk from Coronado Beach.

Outstanding hospitality! The owners treat their guests as if they were hosting their family. Definitely a great human touch. Good location, quiet surrounding but close to beach and restaurants/ grocery store.

La Casa de los Patos, hotel in San Carlos

La Casa de los Patos is a recently renovated guest house in Valle de Anton where guests can make the most of its outdoor swimming pool, garden, and terrace. A hot spring bath is available for guests.

Beautiful country house in Valle de Anton with well appointed spacious rooms and a wonderful natural thermal water pool. So fun to feed the ducks, geese and chickens with our daughter. The host was super friendly, helpful and very attentive to details. Unique to this stay is the possibility of having a massage therapist. I have suffered from debilitating back and neck aches due to posture in my profession and one massage session focusing on trigger points and large muscular knots (different than anything I've ever had in the US) dramatically improved my pain and headaches. We're seriously considering coming back just for this periodically!

The host was genuinely a very nice man. He tried to make us feel comfortable, welcome, and helpful. The included breakfast at the nearby restaurant was very tasty. The room was large and actually very clean (despite its disrepair).

    Beautiful garden, beautiful cabañas, we had a separate kitchen that was AMAZING, everything you need was there. The wifi was superfast aswell. Kind welcome gift & card. All made with love & care. The location is very remote, perfect for some time off. The beach is very beautiful and only a short walk away. Sometimes you can swim, sometimes it’s dangerous. Host was responsive but we didn’t meet them personally.

    Surrounded by trees and wildlife, this was one of our favourite stays in Panama. We went to the empty beach (be aware of jellyfish!), relaxed in the hammocks and just enjoyed ourselves. The hosts were nice, our cottages great, the kitchen well equipped. The jungle in the backyard is great! We spotted hummingbirds and iguanas on the property.

    We booked a cabin with a kitchen - which turned out to be a separate cabin! Everything we needed was there - including basic spices and ground coffee. The blender was amazing - and we had fruit smoothies for breakfast and fancy fruit drinks after sunset. Because there are no places to eat within walking distance - this worked very well for us. Just one other cabin was occupied during our stay - so it was very quiet. And the beach is indeed within walking distance - and was very nice and relaxing.

    Communication on how to get there & during my stay with Jose was great. It’s located right on the beach, it’s pretty calm & quiet with a nice group of fellow travellers. Functional kitchen & supermarket on the main road where the bus drops you off - which is an easy 10 minute walk.

    I especially loved that the beach was in walking distance, and was almost totally, if not, unoccupied ! And the water/sand gorgeous IMO. Make sure, especially if not vehicle, to walk about 300 yds north to eat at a fonda recessed a tad off the beach. Good food, with excellent prices, and the pino colada was awesome ! Hope it's there while you are. I also loved the simple, outdoor shower; I got much more hot wate there as well. The front deck, with chairs/small table, and hammock was nice too.The grounds were quiet overall too.
