This hotel exceeds others with it's location, great balconys for having breakfast and watching the monkeys and birds before setting out for the day. The staff were incredibly helpful and charming, the rooms clean, always fresh fruit available and quiet at night. We both enjoyed our stay there. You do need a taxi but the cost is minimal. Being able... More

We loved the location of La Estancia, atop Cerro Ancon, surrounded by birds and monkeys and beautiful vegetation. We have two toddlers and stayed in the suite, it was perfect, spacious, and comfortable. Kitchenette, cable TV. We would stay here again anytime and recommend to anyone who wants to avoid a more typical hotel experience. The free hot breakfast was... More

Before arriving, La Estancia was informative and helpful as they arranged our airport transfers, Canal & City tour and inner country flights. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the staffs efficient and friendly help. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The only downside was not being within walking distance to restaurants, but taxis were cheap and we were able to... More

We stayed at La Estancia in Jan and thoroughly enjoyed the place, the staff were very efficient, pleasant and very helpful. They were only to happy to arrange tours for us, taxis and give advice on good restaurants etc. Every morning we ate our breakfast on the balcony and loved it, as we could watch the Geoffroy monkeys, many different...

We were there in January 2012 for a few days. It is clean, well run, efficient and the breakfasts are great. The hotel staff and the tour staff are very very helpful. It was a pleasure to stay here. One caution. It is up a big hill and there are no restaurants in the hotel or very nearby but taxis... More

This is our second time to Panama, both times have had the chance to stay at this modest and extremely efficient B&B. This trip we actually came and went from here 3 times! La Estancia is consistent - it is as good now as it was 3 years ago when we first stayed. They always pick you up on time,... More

Can't add much to the reviews, good clean place, helpful staff who are good at organising taxis and transfers etc. We've stayed in Panama City before in a rental which was good but on this occasion we were just here for one night. We'll located to Albrook, the Mall, Metropolitan park and the old town, but you'll have to take... More

this is an excellent way station for gringos getting adjusted to the massive humidity of Panama. Here is how they helped me...on entry to Panama, the immigration clerk took my passport, then returned it to me and waived me into the country. Several days later, at the local airport, with my backpack already on the plane to Bocas, at the... More

We stayed here for our first night in Panama. On arrival we were given a tour of the facilities and shown to our room. Our host was most welcoming and spoke good English. Our room was at the back of the building on the third floor and gave good views of the bridge- of-the-Americas. (see photo) Our bedroom and en-suite... More

Wasn't at all sure what I was turning up to but it was such a pleasant surprise! It was up in the hills in a bit of remant rainforest. it was such a peaceful location. You can sit and have your breakfast watching the monkeys playing and the birds eating the bananas and treats left by a rope. The hotel... More
