A wonderful Bed and Breakfast sits on a hillside with abundant wildlife to enjoy in the mornings while you are eating your breakfast on the terrace. You get a choice of freshly made scambled eggs, a cheese omelet or pancakes .. all are good plus fresh fruits and juices. It is very quiet, the beds are very comfortable with quality... more

A friend and I were in Panama this month (November 2008) for a 12 day vacation and chose via the internet to stay at LaEstancia B&B because we had read so many wonderful reviews prior to planning our trip. This B&B is wonderful. The location could not be better. It's away from the city and sits at the base of... more

La Estancia on Cerro Ancon is a terrific spot located outside the hub bub of the city in an area that use to be where the Americans lived during their control of the Canal. From our room we could see the Bridge of Americas and watch various birds and a Tamarind Monkey in the trees. Some have written that they... more

The owner is directly involved in the hotel and takes great pride in making things right. I work in the travel industry and have never seen such good customer service. Throughout our stay the staff was going out of their way to take care of us. Despite their best effort they screwed up. However the way they handled it was... more

My Wife and I stayed at La Estancia in September for one night. After reading the reviews I was expecting a nice B&B. What I got was a Dorm Room. The Hotel is located in a very nice and secure part of Panama City and was very clean but was not what I would consider a B&B. More like a... more

However, staying on Ancon Hill allowed us the seclusion of Panama with just a 5-10 minute taxi anywhere. Gustavo was awesome in terms of recommending where to go with only one full day and night in Panama City (e.g.... more

Arrived in Panama with reservations for La Estancia for 3 nights with little plans on what to do or see. We enjoyed breakfast on the deck watching birds and monkeys in the trees. The staff were so helpful it was amazing. Where to walk to eat, what to see, calling taxis, helped in arranging a rental car delivery and translating... more

La Estancia is a tremendous value! We spent 7 nights here - the rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. Open sitting areas and balconies were spacious and inviting. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. But what made it really good were the people. Esteban, Gustavo and their staff went out of their way to make our visit really fun and easy.... more

What a wonderful place. My husband and I have stayed in Panama before, and have had to contend with the noise and grime of the city. La Estancia is an oasis in the middle of Panama Citys chaos. Ancon HIll is beautiful and full of history. The staff are attentive and friendly, the rooms clean, the breakfast is good, and... more
