San Carlos Beach Inn

San Carlos Beach Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and beds were comfortable. It was a 15 minute walk to the beach and next to local corner stores and restaurants. The owner was nice and showed us around when we came in. It was also around a 20 minute walk from the bus stop so there's no need for a car to move around. Theres a rooftop bbq area with hammocks and table top games that anyone staying can use. There's friendly cats on the property so that's a plus too. The shower was a hassle to use, the shower head sprayed everywhere other than me and to use the hot water I had to keep my finger on a hose coming out of the heater. In the middle of the night another person staying came over banging at the door and swearing over tv noise not letting her sleep, even though the volume was at 10%, so noise travels easily between rooms."

"I loved the different restaurants, the accessibility to food, and the employees and staff positive aptitude. the only thing they don't offer from the resort is transportation if you signed up with Expedia. The shows at night were very nice and they included programs for children as well."

10/10 Excellent
"What a wonderful place to find out what life on the Pacific coast of Panama is like and what it can be for you. Brooke and her staff are everything you would want in them. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and supportive. Breakfast is included and is the only meal served daily. Definitely try El Parque restaurant in San Carlos. Delicious and inexpensive. Being a small lodge on the ocean makes it special. FYI: No TV, no fridge, no microwave in my room but an awesome ocean view, a comfortable bed and a large walk-in shower. Totally recommend this resort unless you are seeking the amenities of a corporate resort."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay. We could watch the large tidal changes and the changing waves from our balcony. Sunrises on the beach were magical. The pools were clean and the staff friendly and accommodating. The unit itself was very nice and clean and well accomodated. The hosts were extremely helpful and always available. We had a little trouble finding the resort but largely due to not looking for the host's messaging early enough. I highly recommend this beautiful place!"
