Hotels, B&B & More

1) Big Daddy’s Beach Club & Hotel

Big Daddy’s Beach Club Resort was formerly Heavenly’s Hotel.  New expat owners took over the hotel in September 2017.

Big Daddy’s is a beachfront hotel & restaurant.  It has a swimming pool, A/C, wifi and other amenities. You have 11 rooms to choose from.  It is in the San Vicente neighborhood, not far from downtown Puerto Armuelles.   Discover more about Big Daddy Beach Resort

2) Tsunami Inn

The Tsunami Inn is a small beach hotel with a swimming pool and a central gazebo hangout area. It has 8 small cabins to rent.  It is in the San Vicente neighborhood, across the street from the beach, and relatively close to downtown Puerto Armuelles. Find out more about the Tsunami Inn

3) Koco’s Place

Koco’s Place is a one-story hotel with a spacious lobby and a swimming pool.  But the pool never seems to have water in it anymore. It is a fine place to stay, especially if you have a car.  It is on the main road coming into town, about 5 minutes by car from downtown. Learn about Koco’s Place Hotel

4) Pension Balboa

Pension Balboa is in downtown Puerto Armuelles, kitty corner to the bus stop.  It is very inexpensive (7 -$10/night) but not always comfortable. Try to get a room on the outside balcony facing the water. More about Pension Balboa Hotel

5) The Puerto Armuelles BnB

The B&B is located in a comfortable home with a very large yard.  A delicious breakfast is included. People often stay here on a long-term basis.  The owner is Panamanian who spent years living in the States and speaks English well. Find out more about the B&B in Puerto Armuelles.

6) Air BnB

There is an increasing number of Air BnBs listed in Puerto Armuelles. To see the current Air BnB rentals in Puerto Armuelles, click this link.

7) Hostel Museo Las Palmas

An English-speaking Panamanian by the name of Hannibal rents out 3 rooms in his house.  He calls his house the Hostel Museo (Museum) Las Palmas.  He has signs leading to it’s location in the Las Palmas neighborhood of Puerto Armuelles. I have no idea what a stay there is like.  If you stay there, please let me know what it was like. You can call Hannibal at 507-6204-2598 to find out rates and availability. He speaks English.
