We had a wonderful stay at Rancho Estero with our family. Even though by European standards, facilities are not perfect, and there would be place for some minor reparations, especially in the bathroom and shared kitchen, the authentic setting, the warm hosting from Eli, and the proximity of the beach made our stay at Rancho Estero one of the best experiences throughout our Panama trip. But above all, are the surfing lessons with Zigor. Big thank you! We really loved every minute spent on the board (and near, and beaneath it :)), and feel we have advanced a lot in surfing. The kids still say that surfing with you was by far their best experience in Panama. Hope to come back some time.

Amazing view on the ocean and Isla Catalina from the nice garden. Alle Apartments are like a tiny house with a lot of space, nice bathroom, Terrasse, fridge and well working air conditioning. The pool is nice with a direct view on the ocean. Also breakfast, lunch and dinner is served, which was quite cheap for Panama and really delicious. Lots of available tours in the area, of which Isla Coiba is a must! Definitely coming back!

It was an amazing place: located in beautiful nature right on the beach; the pool was clean and had perfect temperature. The newly built bar is also very nice and the drinks and food were very special - the music was fantastic! But what we liked the most: the staff was very friendly and cool - thanks to all of you. Finally: cheers to Freddy ♥️

I got a free upgrade to the Upper Level Suite. The view was absolutely amazing! The king bed was super comfortable, the room was clean, and the location was perfect for relaxing. The rooms are simple, but very clean and have everything you need. I had a great stay and would definitely come back.

    Location was amazing being right on the beach. Main area had lots of sitting areas to relax and find shade. Atmosphere and decor was relaxing and inviting. Great having a pool when you didn’t feel like going in the ocean. Beach was beautiful and long enough for a good walk.

    The location is to die for. Right on the beach, you can hear the waves crashing and the breeze blowing as you're falling asleep. It was kind of funny because you have to cross a little "river" or inlet on foot to get there, and depending on the tide it can be a bit of water to wade through (roller bags not recommended!) but it just added to the sense of adventure and seclusion. It was very easy to book a day trip to Coiba Island via reception, as well as sign up for surf lessons.
