We had a lovely time at Rancho Estero. We stayed in one of the cabins/huts without private bathroom. The shared bathrooms are kept clean at all times. The property itself is beautiful and has an outside kitchen as well as lots of hammocks in the shade. You can easily arrange trips to Coiba via the hosts- definitely recommend this trip as it was organised so well. We extended our stay since we enjoyed Santa Catalina and Ranchero Estero so much.

Amazing view. Direct access to the beach. Very quiet and close to the centers for scuba-diving and diving. Seemed like the best accommodation of the town. Would 200% recommend!

The hostel is located 20minutes out of town (by foot). It’s the perfect spot to relax! The beach is crazy beautiful. It feels like paradise and is perfect for surfers. The staff was really welcoming and the facilities clean! This has been by far my favorite hostel stay in Panama and I recommend everyone to go there!

Perfect place for people looking for an hotel to relax and escape the daily stress. It is located in a quite area right next to the sea, where you can emerce yourself in the lovely nature. Our room and the outdoor space was wonderful, everything is very new, modern and stylish. I loved the fresh fried fish (I had red snapper) and the freshly made passion fruit juice from their restaurant, they were both delicious. The owner and the employees are super friendly, they even drove us to Santa Catalina by car for our diving tour (which you should do if you like diving because Isla Coiba has beautiful underwater spots with sharks, we even saw dolphins and a whale). If you like riding you could also do horseback riding with their own horses at the beach!

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.

    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.
