Hotel The Beach House (Panama City, Panama)

If you are planning to visit Taboga, then it's just a short walk from your room to the ferry. This makes the hotel a great place for a one night stop off before heading for the island.

There are places to eat on-site but if you fancy a more adventurous meal then just head for the main street where there are plenty of restaurants serving mostly Panamanian dishes. You'll also find a few shops there for finding those much-needed souvenirs.

The lovely people at this hotel are very accommodating and really appreciate that you choose to stay here. They are very helpful in planning day trips around the area and have plenty of useful tips and advice on things to do.

The breakfast at this hotel is said to be quite unsatisfying with many guests claiming that it was tasteless and sometimes inedible. Not a great start to the day and a pity as this means you have to pay for breakfast outside.

There is a lot of construction work going on around the area, so the place is not best suited to tourists looking for a relaxing holiday. This may not be an issue for long, but it is worth calling and asking the hotel about it before booking.

The photos make the place look quite amazing, but guests are less than impressed by the beach. They ended up spending more time by the pool than on the beach for this reason.
