TA is the perfect portal for finding alternative accommodations at reasonable prices and La Estancia is a great example of how well the system can work for you. We are hotel owners ourselves, we feature strongly in TA and we always use TA when we travel. Sufficient to say that La Estancia met all our criteria and deserves another favourable... more

My wife and I are nature-lovers and city persons from Washington, DC. We have visited Panama City six times from December 2005 to June 2009. A favorite place for us to stay is La Estancia Bed & Breakfast at Cerro Ancon*, a hilly suburb on the west side of Panama City. Our hosts, Tammy and Gustavo, always greeted us with... more

Ancon Hill is an oasis in Panama City. It's a forest reserve, full of wildlife. La Estancia is the only hotel among a small community of homes at its base. The hotel isn't luxurious but it has everything that's important to me: it's clean, safe, quiet, has room airconditioners, a good bathroom, a good bed, internet access, an excellent breakfast... more

If you want to visit Panama this B & B is for you. The staff organized all taxis, sightseeing and events without a mistake, great service. On arrival the entrace can be off putting as the locked gated give the impression of a prison, a little thought to update this would be money well spent. Reception works OK but again... more

On the advice of others at this website, I decided to give La Estancia a try. I'm very glad that I did. While not the foo-foo hotel that many prefer for vacation, the rooms were clean and quite adequate and everything worked well. The staff are just darling, and everyone was willing to help or answer questions for us. They... more

I had done considerable research on the internet about where to stay in Panama City for a two day layover. I had booked a downtown hotel and then decided to switch to La Estancia. I was so glad we did!! Downtown Panama is incredibly noisy, busy and dirty. La Estancia is located in a park like setting at the edge... more

As a new traveler to Central America I had some trepidation and La Estancia was a good introduction. On our way to our final destination, it was a way to ease into a new culture and environment. On our way back home, after living with a family for two weeks of language study, it seemed a luxurious stopping place! Simple... more

We stayed here for just over a week in March and had a wondeful time. As anticipated from the Tripadvisor reviews the service, cleanliness, and LOCATION were terrific. The rooms are basic but very comfortable and the aircon did the job. Ancon hill is a refuge for wildlife and much of it - including sloths, squirrels, monkeys, tree frogs and... more

It was our first visit to Panama. Our friends had recommended La Estancia B&B in Panama City mostly because of the friendly staff and the location. We were glad they did! We stayed there for two nights at the beginning of our 2 week trip and two nights at the end, in early April. Our Spanish is very poor. Gathering... more
