Las Lajas hotels from HK$267

"Property was basic. Breakfast was horrible. Staff was nice. That’s about all. "

"Best value for your buck! Had no issues, enjoyed the place—great evening entertainment, which we appreciated. The beach is nice, and we never struggled to find seats by the pool or on the beach, as some previous reviews mentioned. The food was great; however, I didn't find the special restaurants worth the hassle of getting in. All in all, I recommend it for the nice weather, the great beach, and the nice staff. The staff can also do a better job of responding to room requests. We had to do some back-and-forth on replacement items. "

"It’s a gem. A modest room refresh and small improvements could go a long way. Food was good but could also be taken up just one notch to make this a place to rave about. "

"This is a great little place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful envirnoment. At first I was taken aback having just stayed at a luxury hotel downtown, but after a couple of hours I came to truly appreciate the beauty and care, that Jay the owner put into it. It has a great pool, beautiful private yard, and a huge outdoor kitchen that guests can use. Our room was super clean but did not have a TV. That was ok as we wanted to get away from the news. Jay was great with offering recommendations such as restaurants and massage therapists. My husband and I had the best massage ever, and we get many of them. The therapist came to our room. The restaurants in the area are great as well such as Picasso and The Bench. The beach is only 2-3 blocks away. This is truly a little hidden gem. Highly recommend staying here if you are not looking for luxury."

"Great and lovely place!!! The staff was so helpful even when I had some water temperature issues it was a great stay, if you’re looking for activities as a solo traveler maybe try another resort since most of the excursions you need more than 1 person."

"The rooms were spacious with a nice patio facing the ocean. All the staff were very friendly. "

"Love this trip your own private paradise we are definitely going again"

"Brand new property with clean spacious rooms. Ample storage in the room and large bathroom with walk in shower and Molton brown toiletries. There was complimentary bottled water although the tap water is safe to drink, and 6 complimentary coffee pods a day. The yoga instructor was excellent and the yoga was complimentary 9am Thursday to Monday on a roof terrace on the spa. There is a roof terrace bar with amazing views of the surrounding mountains with complimentary drinks for guests each evening 5pm to 7pm which was a really nice touch. All the staff are professional and friendly. The breakfasts are excellent quality and lots of variety. The dinners in the terra vegetarian restaurant and tempo restaurants were excellent quality. We didn’t eat in fuego so can’t comment on that. The food prices are at the higher end but all great quality. We paid around $70-80 for 2 people for 2 courses each and 1 drink each. Our only criticism was the room rate included breakfast however we were charged extra ($30 for 2) for a takeout breakfast on the day we had an early pick up for a trip out with a guide which was a bit steep given the room rate. There were lots of birds in the area and the hotel could attract many to the gardens/grounds if the hummingbird feeders were regularly replenished (they were practically empty our full 5 day stay). A suggestion would be to use up any left over fruit such as papaya or banana to set up a feeding station for wild birds in the hotel gardens "

"Fabulous property in a fabulous area to visit in Panama. Easy 10 minute walk to some really good restaurants at a shop or an easy Uber ride to the town with more restaurants and food shopping. We were told Uber didn’t work there. That’s not true. It did for the local trips. You just have to be careful if you take it outside of certain Panama provinces. "
