My parents retired in Sora a few years ago. I find the food in the area fine, but nothing to get excited about. While driving through Altos one day, I stopped by the B&B to see if they were serving dinner. THe owner suggested we come back for breakfast in the a.m. and asked if there was anything in paticular... more

We stayed on a terrific island in San Blas for 4 days before we arrived at Casa Del Encanto for 4 days and 4 days at Playa Blanca and I can honestly that our stay at Casa Del Encanto was the highlight of our trip! I hesitate to call the Casa Del Encanto just a B&B as it is soooo... more

During our last visit my wife and I stayed in a beautiful room for the week. It was our fifth time visiting. As a matter of fact, ALL the rooms are comfy! A beautiful setting with great breakfasts complete with incredible birds singing away. Jim and Marianne are most gracious hosts who make you feel at home immediately. We wouldn't... more

This was our second stay at Casa del Encanto, and our first with the new owners Jim and Marianne, who are gracious hosts and chefs. The place is an utter delight, with gorgeous surroundings, beautifully appointed and spotless rooms, and pinch-me perfect weather. You're right there in the cool breezy mountains, with palms, mangoes, and coconuts all around, but still... more

I have visited Panama many times but this was my first time in Altos. It is the complete opposite to Panama City - cool and quiet. Altos means 'high' and the 'Maria'... more

We were shown Casa del Encanto. We absolutely fell in love with the place. The owners, Marianne and Jim, were most hospitable. We had a magnificent suite... more

We planned a two-week exploration of some of Panama, and one of the highlights was our two-nights with Marianne, Jim and Jodi. Marianne was exceptionally kind and flexible for us...we first contacted her when I was planning my itinerary, and I immediately felt her warmth and kindness. "It's my birthday the night that you're seeking to stay, but please, join... more

We have just returned from a two week stay in Panama where we stayed the entire two weeks at Casa Del Encanto in Sora (Altos Del Maria). We stayed in "Villa Amaru" this trip.

My husband and I are locals (from Panama city), but this was our first time to visit Marianne and Jim´s B&B. We absolutely loved this place, here you can receive probably one of the best attentions in Panama, the rooms are really cute, smell fresh and clean, well-maintained, and include small details like candles in bathtub and matches. Dinner is... more
