My husband and I stayed at the hotel for almost a week and really enjoyed our experience. Luis and his family are so helpful and really make you feel like you're visiting friends. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, even for our backpacker budget. There are also 2 outdoor ktichenettes you can use to make your own quick and... More

An charming and big sized bedroom with a fabulous porch and a stunning view. A fantastic panoramic restaurant with home cook meal... More

This hotel is run by the hard-working, attentive and friendly Luiz. It's a great place to stay. The rooms are spacious, clean and cool, and the service is everything you could ask for and more. Luiz will run you into town and back, and he'll even anticipate your being caught stranded on the beach in a storm and come collect... More

The seafood at the restaurant is fresh and delicious. Luis is full of knowledge about the area and extremely helpful; he arranged snorkeling tours, drove us to the surf beach,... More

Rooms have a view to die for - from the upper levels you have a hill top ahead and the Pacific opening in two directions- Rooms are clean with AC. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. What makes Sol Y Mar unforgettable however is the owner, Luis. He's a combination of laid back coolness at the same time making things... More

Luis is the best! Awesome service, rooms and food. AC with TV and mini fridge....hammock on the deck...what more could one ask for. A view of the sea....included with the best sunsets in town. I have stayed at Hotel Solymar many time in the past 5 years. It's always the best time spent in all of Panama!

Beautiful view, good rooms with AC, and good food make this place a great place to stay. The owner, Luis, makes it an amazing place. Totally chill, understanding, kind, helpful, happy, fun, and there just aren't enough adjectives to do him justice. I would stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you Luis! You're the best!

Our stay at Sol y Mar was a pleasant surprise, and Luis is one of the best hosts you will come across. He made a delicious New Year's eve buffet for us which included a giant baked Red Snapper and ribs by special request. He also let us use his computer and acted as our interpreter to help us book...
